I think of sheep when I hear this ..EWWWW

This song makes me want to implode my brain from the inside, and drag the world down with me.  Too much raeg.

Interesting...when I heard this I thought it I was listening to a song by Metric.

Great comment - and so true! That happy, bouncy melody and those incredibly depressing lyrics... Dunno whether to laugh or cry...

Had to look it up - I KNEW that was Jenny's voice!

oy vey. it's bad enough hearing Death Cab sing this way....

Really? I thought they never had any weight, ever.

If RP was truly eclectic we'd have heard SOME Michael Jackson in the past two days. Maybe a cover of Billy Jean?

That's my dear Jenny at her best

I quite like the way she sings the word "quickly"

Yes. Very.

What a deliciously miserable song!

I heard Jethro Tull had a weight problem, too.

As for the tune, throwaway pop.

Yummy - a cute redheaded girl who can sing? I want one.

...stylistically really is what i meant, not a direct connection...

I'm not sure if you are getting at this, but Jenny Lewis did sing backing vocals on Give Up.

...doesn't this totally sound interchangable with any given deathcab/postalservice song, vocalists' genders notwithstanding?..

Say what you will, but I prefer this style of RK to anything I've found on their new album!

This sounds way to normal. Are they doing anything different here?

What an annoying voice.

It's like someone took a goth-emo chick out of junior high school and gave her laughing gas and told her to compose poetry.

Soldiers come quickly, I feel the earth beneath my feet.
I’m feeling badly, it’s not an attempt at decency.
And if you’re well off, well then I’m happy some for you.
But I’d rather not celebrate my defeat and humiliation here with you.

Someone come quickly, this place was built for moving out.
Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out.
Bring with you history, and make your hard earned feast.
Then we’ll go to Omaha to work and exploit the booming music scene and humility.

And we’ve been talking all night….

Oh god come quickly, the execution of all things.
Let’s start with the bears and the air and mountains, rivers, and streams.
Then we’ll murder what matters to you and move on to your neighbors and kids.
Crush all hopes of happiness with disease ‘cause of what you did.

And lastly, you’re all alone with nothing left but sleep.
But sleep never comes to you, it’s just the guilt and forever wakefulness of
the weak.
It’s just you and me….

The execution of all things.
The execution of all things.
The execution of all things.

Love Rilo Kiley! Wish Bill had Portions for Foxes to play, too.

The same melodic bouncing in their singing I guess.

Holy Julianna Hatfield, Batman.
