    The Past and Pending
    as someone sets light to the first fire of autumn
    we settle down to cut ourselves apart
    cough and twitch from the news on your face
    and some foreign candle burning in your eyes
    held to the past too aware of the pending
    chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale
    enter the fog another low road descending
    away from the cold lust your house and summertime
    blind to the last curse of the fair pistols and countless eyes
    a trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running
    feed till the sun turns into wood dousing an ancient torch
    loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love
    your name on my cast and my notes on your stay
    offer me little but doting on a crime
    we’ve turned every stone and for all our inventions
    in matters of love loss we’ve no recourse at all
    #TheShins #ThePastandPending #OhInvertedWorld

    I was born in 1961 which means I grew up listening to Beatles, Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Rolling Stones etc all through the vibrant 60’s, bizarre 70’s and 80’s and interesting 21st century and I can say that of all the music that I have listened to, all of it, the Shins have in my opinion authored and published the most beautiful,, affecting and profound music I have ever heard. Treasure.

  • @christopherjohnson2474
    @christopherjohnson2474 Рік тому +12

    Much of this is filmed around Portland, Oregon. That beautiful bridge is the St John’s Bridge nicknamed the Cathedral Bridge and people are often getting married there in Cathedral Park. If you haven’t been there I highly recommend you visit. Especially in Autumn, but every season is lovely. St John’s used to be its own small town, but was incorporated into Portland and to this day (mostly because of location) it still feels like a separate town.

    • @mkrussel

  • @jasonuerkvitz3756
    @jasonuerkvitz3756 2 роки тому +23

    I love how the two men, one younger, one older, drive wordless over the countryside, as if words are unnecessary between them and the mere presence of one another is enough. I love too, how the young man acts like a collector of memories, regathering them via a relic of a camera and silently sharing the captured images with the older man. It's a learning and a reclaiming of someone's past and a creation of another's.
    Where has such art like this gone?
    Why do I see little if not nothing of it anymore?
    Such a beautiful song and by far my favorite from this album.

      This video recalls memories of driving with my dad. He passed last year but I imagine that he's still there sometimes. Like you say, it would often be wordless, our bond enough to seal the moments. Love that The Shins capture that so magnificently, that respect for the past and what hasn't happened yet.

    Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale

    Blind to the last cursed affair, pistols and countless eyes

    The narrows bridge has been updated since this video was filmed. Cool seeing it how it was 20 years ago!

    I'd like this song to be played at my funeral along side Pink Floyd's "Fearless"
    Not because it's how I lived but because it's how I will be.
