In July, Andrew Bird began a new series called “Live From the Great Room,” where he performed an acoustic set in his living room with a guest. Today, he’s released an updated version of Soldier On’s “Sic of Elephants,” he originally played with My Morning Jacket’s Jim James for the series. The updated song is being released as part of the anti-Trump 30 Days, 30 Songs series, and it is Jim James’ second release for the program. Below, watch them perform “Sic of Elephants.” Read Bird’s statement on why he updated the song here, and revisit Bird and James’ full living room performance here.

30 Days, 30 Songs will continue to release at least one new song or video daily until Election Day (Tuesday, November 8). The entirety of 30 Days’ proceeds will go to the Center for Popular Democracy and their efforts toward Universal Voter Registration for all Americans. Previous 30 Days releases include songs from Sun Kil Moon and Jesu, EL VY, Filthy Friends, Death Cab for Cutie, Franz Ferdinand, and others.
