"Big-boned" does NOT mean "fat." I have a friend who's almost six feet tall, and she's "big-boned," meaning she could probably arm-wrestle your sorry ass into the dirt. She's slender, but she has a hard time finding women's watch bands that will fit around her wrist, although there's not an ounce of fat on her.  She has big bones, not skinny, brittle little bird-bones.  And when the world's about to end, I want her on MY team. 

You?  Um, not so much.{#Lol}

 
Uh Ha! And I'd want YOU on my team! A priceless comeuppance, Cynaera!

Still, it's not really a technical, scientific term.

Good tune, at any rate.

I don't think I've ever skipped past a Swoon track on my ipod, they're all solid and if this earlier album is as good I'm looking forward to hearing more. I like this track.

Another great artist discovered because of RP. Bought this album and totally enjoyed it. The new Rock Band 2 has this tune on it. Great to see my kids get into playing it.

I'm always surprised at how much I like these guys.  Solid 8, likely to move up.

Although, at first, I thought this was going to be a Kate Bush song....

I've seen them three times, and I think they put on a great show, with good energy and musicianship. Hell, they opened for Wolfmother and not only survived but had the crowd revved up. That's got to be better than my endorsement!

Like others, I was surprised to learn this was a male singer, but that doesn't stop me from liking the song. I just like the way the whole song is crafted. It's in pretty heavy rotation right now on the CD player in my woodshop.
