![]() There Is No Enemy (2009) [ larger cover art ] |
Hindsight's giving me
Too much memory
There's too much never seen
But it's always there 'cause it's everywhere
Taking my own advice
Worked out for me nice
But now I come to find
The tricks we play with human brains
They don't want to think about the other side
Is that grass just greener 'cause it's fake?
'Cause that's all that we've been told since we were five years old
Is that all we'll ever know?
Hindsight brings me down
It keeps me on the ground
And though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare if you weren't there
The thing with getting up
Feelings like giving up
Feels like not enough
You eat a crumb and waste a loaf
They don't want to talk about the other side
Where the grass was greener than they said
'Cause this doesn't bring to mind what I'd expect to find
They must be colorblind
What about Canada?
What about Canada?
This paradise
Of pines and ice
Morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
Bad into ideas was no surprise
We'll wait 'till the wild has rights, then never lock doors at night
And kiss all those wars goodbye

LIVE is where they completely sealed the deal for me l as a life long fan. They simply DESTROY in a beautiful way live. I love every one of their studio albums. I'm surprised we do not hear more from some of their earlier studio work, or their live album on RP. Their live Neil Young cover Cortez the Killer is incredible. Great to hear them period however. |

I agree they might be underrated, but I don't think they do so in a sea of mediocrity. There are a lot of wonderful bands out there along with a lot of crappy ones. |
| bb_matt (Hampshire, England) | Posted: Apr 10, 2013 - 01:52 This song reminds me a LOT of Neil young - similar voice, country backing. |

Well if that wasn't bad enough, now winter nights are shorter and days longer, and summer —- a total black out ! I've heard that chancellor has consulted Arizona to find out how to borrow some time that Az. has banked away by not falling for the old "Spring ahead, Fall back" crapola. . . . Canadians also have researched jet-lag as a means to cushion the reversal of effects which occur, when crossing the border, into the US. Stay tuned. |

I wish I could tell you brother, but I'm afraid it was one of those magical once-in-a-lifetime-moments. You know the ones that flash before your eyes, for a short instant stopping all clocks, bringing your whole reality to a screaming halt. Soon before receding and perishing in a silent void of the past, never to be reached and felt again. Leaving you standing stark naked and somewhat afraid, with no less than a coctail of emotions stirring your whole inside. And in your hands holding all you thought you knew of the world, while before your eyes reality now has turned completely upside down. These moments are unfortunately not shipped by japanese exporters. The up side is that they are free of charge. Down side: rare. |

| TwinEngine | Posted: Feb 20, 2010 - 22:16 Hm: Built To Spill - Hindsight ... mentions Canada Big Sugar - All Hell For A Basement ... mentions Alberta Son Volt - Medicine Hat ... mentions a city in Alberta This is fun. P.S. Thanks ioanthe, how generous! |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Feb 02, 2010 - 06:21 I wonder if you can do an auto-rate? Every Built To Spill song that's been played on RP has been a nailed-on Ho-Hum. If I have to have a leg amputated without anaesthetics please play this whole album to me and I'll be numb to anything by the end of it |

Tagish_girl: Just want to let you know that increasingly Canadians have guns too. To own one, it helps to be male, between the ages of 16 and 35, extremely insecure; apparently possessing an IQ of less than 90 helps too. Two males in the 30s were pulled over at the 4-way stop near our quiet suburban home on Christmas Eve. Two streets up, they had backed into a parked car and upon leaving the scene of the accident, switched drivers. (Thanks to vigilant neighbours who called the police.) The drive had a hand gun on him. Illegal, most likely US origin. Do the police often intercept weapons like this? Not in the past. In 2009, the Greater Vancouver area suffered a epidemic of public shootings. Probably as result of the increased use of informants by the police. |
