I love you more than I should
So much more than is good for me
More than is good

Oh, the timing is cruel
I need and don't want to need
More than I should

I am falling
Say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is love
But whatever my heart needs around?

Oh, my sheet is so thin
So I say I can't sleep because
It's so very cold
But I know what I need
And if you were just near to me
Would you go?

I am falling
Say my name
And I'll lie in the sound
What is love
But whatever my heart needs around?

And it needs you
Too much
Now

Fifteen and some years ago my daughter and I watched A Love Song for Bobby Long about every six months for…a long time. I thought I recognized this voice from a song on that soundtrack. Sure enough, there it is. That movie holds such nostalgia for me, and my daughter’s teenage years, that I gotta say I got a little weepy. Can’t not like it

I haven't heard of the band before now and I think this is lovely. Reminds me of Mazzy Star.

Sounds like Aimee Mann fronting Mazzy Star. A solid 7 on first listen for me.

I think you'll find it relates to the Winnie the Pooh books of AA Milne. There was a broken sign (in the 100 Acre Wood, I think) which read 'Trespassers w...' by the house which Piglet occupies. His explanation of the name is here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piglet_(Winnie-the-Pooh)

Yeah, she does have a similar-sounding voice and phrasing.  Cool song and sweet production as you pointed out - kinda dreamy sounding.

Thought this was going to be "Black Boys on Mopeds." Would much rather be listening to "Black Boys on Mopeds".

He BillG, could you play "Black Boys on Mopeds" sometime?

Reminds me of the old times when I accidentally put the switch on '33' instead of '45' on my turntable, but it sounds better than then.

I was wondering if these guys would fall into the shoegazer category. They sound too mellow for the AllMusic.com definition of shoegaze: "The sound of the music was overwhelmingly loud, with long, droning riffs, waves of distortion, and cascades of feedback. Vocals and melodies disappeared into the walls of guitars, creating a wash of sound where no instrument was distinguishable from the other."
Whatever it's called, I like it. For the record, this is not the strongest track on the disc.

 
I listen to a lot of bands who get tagged with that label, and this band is not in that category.  Keep in mind the phrase "gazing at one's shoes" predates idiotic music writers and just because idiot music writers start a category it does not mean everyone else is precluded from using that phrase.

As mentioned somewhere below, the band's name is a reference to one of A.A. Milne's Winnie-The-Pooh stories.

Aimee Mann? Okay, even if it isn't (and I haven't read prior posts, so don't hurt me!), it's still very reminiscent (did I spell that correctly?) of her vocals.

I like this song, but I need to hear it in a different venue than the one in which I currently am in order to be objective.

Oh my god!!!

I'm really happy to hear this song here... I've heard it so often but i never grow tired of it, to me it has an amazing feel to it.... Brings back some great memories!

It's also used in the TV show "One Tree Hill" and in the great movie "A Love Song For Bobby Long".

10, no doubt about it

It is a little known fact that Piglet is an Immortal, with the power to change aspect at will.  In the current age, It seems fond of music personas, but past personas include Napolean, so we surmise the Immortal is drawn to power, though perhaps underdog, roles.

Dave Cusick interviewed the band on his show "Post Modern Rock" which aires on KPSU (Portland State University Radio). The interview was on April 20. You can download it from his site as an MP3. Quoting from the show notes: April 20: This week's show is a Trespassers William interview and in-studio performance. Also includes music by each of the band members' side projects: Lotte, Disinterested, Roos, NC Skolrud and Tunnel-Tunnel.
