Just about every aspect of this song screams sucko-barfo. Horrible vocal,horrible instrumentals, etc, etc.

Still, it seems to be the wrong title in your library - it's "Poppies" as mike mentioned months ago. ;(
 
Wanted to buy it on amazon, the plugin on your page doesn't even show any song, though I found it next to many others via amazon's app.


Nevertheless, thank you again for another fine piece of catching music! Goosebumps, here I come!{#Good-vibes}

 
Thanks. Wouldn't expect the band themselves to make that mistake (they uploaded it to us directly) but I guess they did. Fixed now.

I dig it, by the way! That's why I "tracked" it down. 

I dig you guys too. Thanks for the unparalleled programming.

♪ Whine-whine ♬ to strings... Oh, my heart... PASS! (*please*) Enough already of Betty et al!

Initially I just about rated it a 2 and hit PSD. But then I paused and did neither.

This is one that might grow on me. My mood today says, "move along, this sucks" but I think on another day I might appreciate it more.

Her voice is so distinctive -- and although it feels really like it's dragging me waaaaay down...I can't say it's musically without some redeeming qualities.

So, no rating yet. Maybe next time.

I appreciate the artfulness and passion. Repeated servings of this, however, would induce discomfort.

After "She's leaving Home". From the sublime to the ridiculous.

I enjoy this, yet I can't listen to Regina Spektor.  Why is that, I wonder?

{#Clap} Quite. Comments don't have to be insightful or profound or philosophical or whatnot. It'd be damn boring if they all had to reach such intellectual heights to be worthy of posting to these boards. Sometimes "it sucks/blows" is all you want to say. Not that I want to say it about this song which is lovely, but we're all equal listeners with equal rights to post comments within the board rules.

A voice like a gurgling baby

I wonder if someone doesn't like the female voice? We are very fortunate to have many female singer/songwriters nowdays. It wasn't always so you know.

It's a bummer that every time something cool happens there's some ninny that has to mishandle the merchandise. Awesome if I do say so myself.

Only caught the tail end of this but it seems to be causing conflict judging by some of the aggressive comments.

This singer/songwriter is one of the best of the new generation of soulful folk hybrid tunes. Watch these guys!

No. It is not upbeat.  What the hell's your point?
