Musicbrainz DB"Watchin' this stretch of road,
Miles of light explode,
Driftin' off the thing I've never done before.
Watchin' the crowd roll in,
Out go the lights, It Begins.
Feeling in my bones I've never felt before.
People always told me,
That bars are dark & lonely,
And talk is often cheap & filled with air.
Sure sometimes it thrills me,
But nothing could ever chill me,
Like the way they make the time just disappear.
Feelin' you're here again,
Hard on my skin again,
Feelin' good a thing, I've never known before,
What does it mean to feel?
Millions of dreams come real,
Feeling in my soul I've never felt before.
And you, you always told me,
No matter how long it holds me,
If it falls apart or makes us millionaires,
We'll be right here forever,
Go through this thing together,
And on Heaven's Golden Shore, We'll lay our heads."

| Ag3nt0rang3 (Canada) | Posted: Jul 20, 2012 - 08:33 yeah I usually don't have a problem with MMJ but I'm not feeling very generous to this one, on this day. Probably rate it a Ho Hum (with possible room for increases if my mood improves). |
| Jazbo (Beautiful Valparaiso IN.) | Posted: Apr 16, 2012 - 07:33 A solid 9........ |
| dw (PHill, CA) | Posted: Mar 15, 2012 - 16:08 I like a lot of their other stuff more than this one. Gave it a 6. |
| Ahnyer_Keester (Chicago Il) | Posted: Mar 18, 2011 - 09:22 Sounds like Fleet Foxes. Not bad. |

Gives it a dreamy quality and takes a little of the stress away.... Have fun with your dirty dishwater and your slow-growing grass...  I'm sure Fred, our resident "grumpy old man" is having a laugh at your response, Cynaera.On another tack, I'm amazed at the number of other RP listeners who seem to suffer from reverb phobia! |

| dannyboy57 (Somerville, MA) | Posted: May 05, 2010 - 15:52 These guys are phenomenal. I remember hearing "The Way That He Sings" in 2003 and thinking "WHAT IS THIS?" I just stopped dead in my tracks and played it over and over again. When I hear this song, I see the Shenandoah Valley in my mind's eye. I was over the moon when they appeared on American Dad. I turned my niece on to them and she saw them at Bonnaroo last year at 3 in the a.m. Awesome!  |

It's so dull that it makes watching grass grow positively exciting. It could put you into a hypnotic trance. Anaesthetists use this recording to put patients into deep coma for open heart surgery. A nailed-on Ho-Hum from the narcoleptic Nottingham jury  I agree, this jacket does not fit me either no matter how much of an echo box they sing through. |
| sirdroseph (Tokyo) | Posted: May 05, 2010 - 15:48 Ok, ok, I will admit because it sounds like M. Ward whom I love, this song is starting to grow on me! 3 -> 7. See, I am adaptable! |

| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Dec 30, 2009 - 10:28 Yea, I keep listening to their songs, trying to see why so many people love them and yet again the answer escapes me!  |

From the ball park & stadium shows to very small venues. Just take a look at the tours of the past year and I've been there. I have to say these guys really rocked. They played for over 3.5 hrs. and took a five min. break. Of the 125 plus acts they are in the top 5. Great live band. I've heard the same from all my friends. I'm gonna go see them the next time they come 'round. Pax.  |

Actually, they sound worse when the echoey effect isn't there. This is a desperate attempt to mask the fact that they have zero talent. Zip. Zilch. Nada. |

| kimmer (Jacksonville, FL) | Posted: Sep 12, 2008 - 15:15 Just had to up my rating to Outstanding. One of my favorite driving tunes on ipod. |
| Excelsior | Posted: Sep 12, 2008 - 15:13  Absolutely nothing good about this group. |

I used to think they recorded in a high school gymnasium, somewhere in the midwest, during the dance after the big Homecoming football game. Could be a silo, though, I guess. |
| mmoyer (Silicon Valley) | Posted: Aug 27, 2008 - 16:34 Ok maybe I do like these guys. |
| buckeyes (mile high) | Posted: Jul 11, 2008 - 09:18 Favorite MMJ song. Reminds me of an old western movie. |
| out_to_lunch (Philly by way of CT) | Posted: Jun 25, 2008 - 11:26 this really makes me think of Jackson Browne |

No soul or heart in their music. You couldn't be more wrong. Say it's not your taste, but to say there's no heart or soul is nothing more than your subjective opinion. |
