The song is from the movie "Plodding Along" . . .

Some say Leland, others say lullaby. If the guy were walking at this pace he'd make zombies look like Olympic sprinters. A nailed-on Ho-Hum from the soporific Nottingham jury {#Sleep}

Bill. Please play some upbeat music. I can feel myself slipping into depression.

Don't worry, it won't hit him 'cause I'm right behind him. Blegh, I'm gonna go find some John Prine.

Does the band's name come from a place called Leland?  Mississippi John Hurt has a song with a line "some say Leland."  I assumed that's where it came from.
 
Yes, that's where the band name originates.

I had to look and see who it was — I was thinking an acoustical Foo Fighters, granted the voice is off, but not by much... Very nice.

There's a great restaurant in Leland called The Bluebird, I cant go up north without stopping in.  Cant say as I have ever heard music this good there, but it is still a nice place.

I really like this.  It is about style and mood, to me.  And simplicity.  It creates a feeling and my heart responds.  :)

Couldn't agree more ... 
Though, not just American. Travellers, " tales of longing, of hardship, and of strange characters"  have no nationality. Their territories are roads, anywhere, everywhere.
This takes me elsewhere, listening to a story, building up a small personal movie with his voice and the words and the music.

Some say depressing.
Some say uninspiring.
Some say not their best song.

Just the other day, I said, "Leland". I guess it's true. Who knew?

Wow...great song...my girlfriend and I both drifted off to it together, but still very much conscious of the song.  Phenomenal.

All that to play the same 4 notes over and over.  No wonder it's tough being a musician.

it's uncanny the new songs rp are playin' these past weeks, especially this one which i sent to a couple dear friends when i got back home not long ago an' this is exactly how i felt, word for word almost, yea ok, bleak maybe but bloody brilliant, so who doesn't believe in serendipity, the paranormal..? someone out there in the world; bill an' rebecca, uploaders, some one or two or three listeners, we got the exact same 'vibe' happenin', whatever..? {#High-five} the whole album is brilliant!

Thanks for the info!  Really nice stuff.  I thought it was something rare from The Blue Nile at first.  It sounds similar to some of their acoustic stuff!

Very nice!.

Not in the mood for slow, introspective stuff today.  But the lyric "I found myself lost" has promise - cutesy contradictive usage..  Perhaps I'll be in a more receptive mood next time ...

Posted 14 years ago by swinghamer    [ Reply ]
this band is pretty new to the RP lineup
this doesn't work for me, nor does the song from them I heard the other day
it has surprisingly high rating, though...I must not be getting something

Check out their website. This is so good it's almost scary....if you know what I mean. Huge talent here, record companies are you listening? Give these guys some money, some time in a good studio, and a decent producer and watch out!
