If you listen closely, you'll hear this song purrrrring like a kitty cat.

It sounds like a pretty traditional, arpeggiated-chord, acoustic guitar, folk-based chord progression to me, which Donovan often employed, but we all hear different things.  Nice little tune.

Sounds like a Hollies track, without the harmonies. This is tedious though.

It's a great song.  Mostly real Shins fans will appreciate it.  Most others won't.

This song has really grown on me. It soothes me much more now than it used to annoy me before.

A lovely tune.  Not as amazing as many Shins songs, but peaceful.

 I usually like The Shins but that just kills this song for me.  It sounds like a relentless rock crusher running a few blocks away.
 
Sounds like someone breathing into the mic. Disturbing...

Surprising amount of whining in the comments for this one. It's very far from my usual styles, but I gotta say it's actually pretty nice, particularly paired with 'Dear Prudence' as often seems to be the case...

The guitar melody reminds me of the music from "Cool Hand Luke."

They played this song at their recent concert in Richmond.  They did a 3-part harmony on the chorus that just blew the place away.  I mean, it was musically spot on both in the pitch and timing.  Fantastic.

Apparently This is usually a transition song to  Dear Prudence by The Beatles..{#Dancingbanana}

I'm thinking maybe A Pillow of Winds, from Meddle??? Also, the untitled solo acoustic guitar track between Is There Anybody Out There and Nobody Home on side 3 of The Wall.

The guitar part is a little similar to "Goodbye Blue Sky" in parts.

I know what you're saying, and it's true that, considering the enormous size of the RP library, we hear quite some songs very very regularly, and others all too infrequently. But I notice that those songs do change, and sometimes I'll hear a song I haven't heard in a long time on RP, that used to be in frequent-repeat mode.
And more importantly, when I think of how much time it takes to put together the carefully chosen sets that Bill does, it makes sense that he would put some songs in more frequent rotation just to make the job easier. Or....??? I don't know how he does it. Just a guess.
Still, I can't really complain about the repeat thing, in comparison to how grateful I am to RP for turning me on to so much excellent music and filling my days with it. I'll happily hear repeats (esp. when I like the songs being repeated!!)


I think it is just the songs we don't like that seem to get repeated. Unfortuantely this is one of them for me. That repetitive whooshing sound is really annoying on a good system.

I don't mind the good ones being repeated. :-)

That droning guitar becomes a torment after a while. They actually play this song as part of their extremely small repertoire in the third circle of Hell.

So, this is just a general question about RP, not about this song, which I like a lot.

I listen to RP pretty much all day every day, and sometimes I feel like I hear the same damn songs every day. Obviously RP is a big improvement over commercial radio, which I avoid like the plague. And there is very little I hear on RP that I don't enjoy. But sometimes I feel like Bill doesn't dig deep enough into his collection. There must be tens of thousands of tracks on the playlist - couldn't we hear a little more from the back library?

I do not find this song depressing at all. Sure, we are all going to pass away at some point in time, but there will be others taking over after us. I find it a very comforting and uplifting thought.

All we have to do is make the very best out of the time we are given, the greatest gift of all.
