I like the dreamy, tropical feeling of this song.

Perfectly titled track. I yawned right through it. After the "Garden State" Soundtrack I thought I liked The Shins, but I haven't heard anything from them since that has moved me much. Not bad, just nothing to write home about.

Who's better: Thom Yorke or James Mercer? Discuss amongst yourselves...

Fell in love with the Shins this year, got all their albums, not a bad one in the bunch. Amazing songwriting, melody, arrangements. Lyrics a bit dense, though!

Love, love love this song. it puts me on the perfect mood to go for a long walk in the city, until midnight and the change to the next year. it's time to go anyway, seven hours left before this year ends.
Happy New Year, nice Blue Moon!

"Spill it out in a ragged flow" - wtf?  I vote The Shins in the top 5 of Groups Writing The Most Gnomic Lyrics chart (topped for decades by the baroque and esoteric Yes). Surely they're the only group to mention "polymorphism" in a song. Nice sound, mind. |

I like them because they are tuney. |

Perhaps it's the huge break when they go from the thing going "doo-de-doodley-doo" for the first minutes of the song into the sort of garage rock thump that they fade with.

I stuck through the entire song (again) and still not getting it. But I will suffer the few flaws of the playlist as the positives of RP far outweigh the negatives.
That's no excuse. You don't have to walk, run or drive to the library. All you have to do is google the song name plus the word lyrics and find it for free in 5 seconds. What effort is that? There really is no excuse. It's even easier than that. There's a Google Lyrics Search link in the intro box for every song on RP. |
