Break me on the thirty-seventh hour
Tout me, doubt me, show me all of your power
I will watch you rise on my back from the ground
Friend or foe?
I don't know
Do you like what you've found?
Because I will one day shine with you
I'll shine on a faithful few
Show me low quotations
Have you earned your stripes?
Fabricate salvation
Lord, I know your type
I've known you all my life
I was always wrong, you all in white
Brush my cause aside with little trouble
Oh my god, I think I'm hearing double
I will watch you rise on my back from afar
Friend or foe?
I don't know now you're up in the stars
But I will one day shine with you
I'll shine on a faithful few
Show me low quotations
Have you earned your stripes?
Fabricate salvation
Lord, I know your type

| leafmold | Posted: Oct 20, 2012 - 14:44 I'm in the minority, but I like this song. |

| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 12:21 Nice tune. But rather indistinguishable in singer anyway, from Coldplay. This is an 8 for me. I like it's vibe and the lyrics, although I have to go get them, I'm not sure if he's being kind, mean or redemptive. |
| dwlangham (Nowhere to be found) | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 12:18 This strikes the same nerve as Mofo and Sons. Uggee. |

| icemang (Boston & DC, mostly) | Posted: Feb 05, 2012 - 09:41 Someone call 911, I need to get these sharp sticks removed from my ears. |
| Byronape ("post-capitalist wreckageville") | Posted: Feb 03, 2012 - 18:11 http://youtu.be/hTH6zm6o_6U NSFW... ironic, since I'm at work. |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Feb 03, 2012 - 18:10 At times, the singer sounds like Chris Martin. But the rest of it of course isn't Coldplay, just better. |
| RasmusTP (Berlin) | Posted: Feb 02, 2012 - 07:37 Good tune! Bass & guitar combo sounds a little U2'ish, doesn't it? |
| ReddFlagg (North Texas) | Posted: Jan 27, 2012 - 20:07 Outstanding. Nary a dud on the album. Thank you Hathaway. |

| Vinni_NL | Posted: Jan 04, 2012 - 14:50 A very welcome change after Marvin Gaye... By god, sorry, but I just hate that high pitched smoothboy with the intensity of a forman grill. |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Nov 26, 2011 - 22:42 The market thinks this album is worth $5 and change. |
| jlind (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Nov 22, 2011 - 20:02 Come on the title of the album alone is enough to give this a 7! |
| tutakea | Posted: Nov 07, 2011 - 09:03 that´s what a call crap! where the melody and instrumentation way below average, the singing is absolutely horrible |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Nov 07, 2011 - 08:40 Good tune! Lead vocalist sounds somewhat like Chris Martin, only better. |
| fingerpin (oHIo) | Posted: Nov 07, 2011 - 08:38 Pretty sure it's Mumford & Sons. :/ |
| fncll (I Come from the Land Up Over) | Posted: Nov 05, 2011 - 13:39 I enjoy this song musically and because it is basically an interesting, relatively modern poem put to music. Not all people like that, but love it! |
| paloeguevo (Venezuelan in Villahermosa, Mexico) | Posted: Nov 03, 2011 - 16:03 One of my favorite albums of this year |
