The acoustic guitar on this reminds me of John Fahey's song "Rain Forest" from his 1986 release Rain Forests, Oceans and Other Themes.

Yet another cd in my Amazon shopping basket (through the RP link of course). Not complaining at all. . . I seem to get most of my musical buying leads from here nowadays. . .

7 -> 8 for me. Man, I cannot seem to get this song out of my head after I hear it on RP. Same with that damn Broken Bells song. Oh well, there are worse problems to have.

It's a pretty standard, well-used, folk progression: E - D - A - G, more or less. Neil's lawyers would probably not pursue a plagiarism suit. |

I need to get this album. I have Wincing the Night Away, but it seems that the songs on this album get stuck in my head more frequently when played on RP.

WHAT?!? They have a show next week in Eugene. Are they already doing reunion gigs? |

One of the most poignant songs ever written, and sung well, too. Lovely musical arrangement throughout! Blows me away ever farther each time, but only if I'm really paying attention...I am able to feel something painfully new and yet hauntingly familiar with every listen...

The Shins are one of those groups whose songs take on entirely new levels of depths when you read the lyrics. Their music is fantastic, but their lyrics are positively poetic. Finding a group that can achieve both seems too rare these days.

The relationship ends, love drifts away slowly, like the horn at the end.
I love this song. So well conceived.

I like both versions of this song, one of The Shins better efforts no doubt!
