You will never get tired of this piece if you have a good sounding stereo.
And I am not talking about tens of thousands of dollars.  Just a system to do justice to RP's feed!!!!!

Give it a shot! Uploading songs does not make you a pest, it makes you paradise head. {#Roflol} I don't even know what that means...

During the chorus I get this stuck in my head:

A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh
A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh

In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight

This sounds a lot like Fleet Foxes, I am not a huge fan of MMJ, but I like the Fleet Foxes, so this one is cool in my book!

Yes, thanks, Kurt - I really like this song a lot - those vocals are darned near cosmic. I think with enough of this kind of music, my muse might be coaxed into coming back to me! {#Sunny}

It was my upload.

Thanks for this Kurt!  I like the raw emotion in his voice.  The lyrics are great too:

Why's it so strange when they say that the world's movin upwards?
Why's it surreal when my hands feel they cant roll the dice?
Why's it so great just to wake every day, alive and by your side.
It's a mystery I guess, there's lots of things I cant find.
Its not the way that you look, but your move that catches my eye.
Why's it so soft when the cannons unload on the others?
Why're we so loud when we say it wont happen to us?
Why does my mind blow to bits every time they play that song?
It's just the way that he sings,
Not the words that he says, or the band.
I'm in love with this soul, it's a meaning that I understand.

  As always, thanks to Calypsus_1 for the visuals.  I really, really love My Morning Jacket.  And the band's pretty good, too...{#Roflol}

I keep seeing references to Jim James' "soaring" vocals in the music press.  Not only am I surprised that well written rags like Rolling Stone can't come up with a better adjective, I'm surprised that they don't mention, in the same breath, that he sings a bit flat.  You almost can't hear it at first because he's singing the (soaring) harmony as well, so the two voices are equally flat and blend rather nicely.
 
Sets my teeth on edge, too.

Yes, and they don't mention either, that his vocals might just be "soaring" in the shower with a Karaoke machine.
