    I've seen The Shins 6 times, never heard this song live. It's my favorite song. Not just by them. Period.

      Sea Legs is up there in my top songs. Trap Doors by Broken Bells is another great one.

      It’s bonkers brilliant, the vocals, changing register … I’m hearing Morrissey & Cobain & Richard Ashcroft (the Verve-“bittersweet symphony …”)

    Of all the churning random hearts under the sun
    Eventually fading into night
    These two are opening now
    As we lie, I touch you under fuller light
    Girl if you're a seascape, I'm a listing boat
    For the thing carries every hope
    I invest in a single light
    The choice is yours to be loved
    Come away from an emptier boat
    Cause when the dead moon rises again
    We've no time to start a protocol to hem us in
    And when the dog slides underneath the train
    There's no cry, no use to searching for the mutt's remains
    Throw all consequence aside
    In a cheerless pyre we will set alight
    Of all the intersecting lines in the sand
    I routed a labyrinth to your lap
    I never used a map sliding off the land
    On an incidental tide
    And along the way you know, they try, they try
    And we got sea legs and we're off tonight
    Can I've that to which they've no right?
    You belong to a simpler time
    I'm a victim to the impact of these words
    And this rhyme
    Cause when that dead moon rises again
    We've no time to start a protocol to hem us in
    Darling when the dog slides, open the door, and where'd she go?
    There's no time, no use to searching for the mutt's remains
    Throw all consequence aside
    In a cheerless pyre that we will set alight

    I first learned of The Shins from Natalie Portman in the movie Garden State. A wonderful movie and actress. Anyway, I have been a fan since. The lyrics, compostions, harmonies, and the execution of the songs is just first rate. The last time a band stood out from a Soundtrack this wonderfully was the Australian Band The Morning After Girls song Still Falling in Lost in Translation.

    It's a crime that talent like this goes largely un-recognized, while Taylor Swift can't rake in money fast enough. Ah well, at least we can enjoy this.
