Fred, are you sure you're getting enough sleep at night?  It seems, from your posts, that a large portion of the songs here have a sleep-inducing effect on you.  I do admire how you change up your adjectives and descriptions, though.

Fred, your technique must be different than mine. Spaceman Spliff perhaps, but rolling hash in a card filter cigarette is not righteous.

"Naked as She Came" is a beautiful song, and you're right, it's very similar.

I'm hearing a lot of what seems like audio compression artifacts in the background on the quieter parts - is it just me? I just looked up the song on Grooveshark and don't hear that, so maybe RP has a badly ripped mp3?

There's some good songwriting here, but I just don't like this guy's voice, and never have.  This track isn't as annoying as some of his stuff, though.  I'll vote 6/10.

Love is a dress that you made
long to hide your knees
love to say this to your face,
"I'll love you only"
for your days and excitement,
what will you keep for to wear?
someday drawing you different,
may I be weaved in your hair? Love and some verses you hear
say what you can't say
love to say this in your ear,
"I'll love you that way"
from your changing contentments,
what will you choose for to share?
someday drawing you different,
may I be weaved in your hair?

I was going to rate this song 7 because it's pleasant enough, but upping my rating to 8 to counteract some of the haters below. Lesbians? Really? Gah.

For me, the lyrics are really the only redeeming quality of this song; they are beautiful. Unfortunately, I can't get past everything else but I do find this the least offensive of their stuff that I've heard.

Just picked this one up. Here's why: It is a very simple album... honest, up-front. No overproduction at all. Fully acoustic. Southern indie folk at its best. I struggle to see how anyone couldn't enjoy Sam Beam's vocals. (Then again, I may be biased, as my singing voice is very similar to his.) Not overpowering at all; he compliments the sound of the instruments perfectly. The feel of the music is much like the physical album. The liner notes are grainy recycled paper, with simple white lyrics against a monochrome color background. The credits and thank yous consist of six lines of text. Song titles are handwritten cursive. The inside and outside of the case are the same painted grassy scene. The disc is a splash of green paint with no extra words. Listen to this album when you need time to reflect, or regain yourself. Prerequisites include the ability to enjoy a guy with a guitar, nothing more.
 
I love the way you appreciate the album art and the band.

The vocals are so peaceful... don't hate :)

I love this whole cd. It's very simple, but very complex at the same time. I also dig the Southern Gothic thing he's got going in the lyrics. I found Sam Beam kind of by accident, and I am very glad I did. An excellent song off an excellent cd.
