    Proof The Shins will never release a bad song.

      Bob Hargenblatz Lol the entirity of port of morrow is nothing compared to the rest of their music, also some of wincing the night away is quite shit

    • @LordSprakIV
      @LordSprakIV 7 років тому +10

      Wincing The Night Away is their best album, but Port of Morrow is relatively weak

    • @saxfreak01
      @saxfreak01 7 років тому +4

      Couple of weak tracks on PoM but September, 40 Mark Strasse, PoM, Rifle's Spiral, It's Only Life are up there with Mercer's finest songs, and most of the rest of it is solid stuff too. September is a magnificent song. It could be a Richard Thompson song from the early 70s, and praise doesn't come any higher than that, in my book.

    • @gordiemeow
      @gordiemeow 7 років тому +7

      I'd like to make an argument for 40 Mark Strasse. It's beautiful AND interconnected to the other lyrics on the album. It's not their best, but it's still a hell of good song.

    • @saxfreak01
      @saxfreak01 7 років тому +4

      I agree, it's a fantastic song. Must admit it took me a while to get into the album, and I can understand some fans thinking it's a bit too slick and close to AOR in places, but most of the songs are good to excellent and that's all that really matters. Also, I liked the more direct, but still poetic, lyrics. The old Shins lyrics did get a bit close to word salad at times.

    I'm 81 years old and love this band the shins. I'm just a little scared I'll never get to see their 6th studio album. If they keep the trend of releasing an album every 4 or 5 years

      For real it’s so underrated, given how terrible some of the generic stuff that blows to today is it’s shocking to me it isn’t huge.

  • @MrPatters

    I just realized this is a sequel to the Simple Song music video because James Mercer is dead in that one and it shows his grave at the beginning of this one.

  • @xCandieAndiex

    one of the most underrated Shin's song yet

  • @ryandornan8698
    @ryandornan8698 7 років тому +12

    i think port is their best and most creative from end to end. rifles spiral, simple song, title track, 40 mark strauss, its only life, taken for a fool, no way down, and bait and switch are all amazing. janet weiss kills it too. every album gets better. a rare phenomenon in modern music

    • @OneRandomVictory

      Port = Wincing, Chutes, Oh Inverted

    • @checkmarkdatter1785
      @checkmarkdatter1785 7 років тому +2

      1) Wincing
      2) Chutes
      3) Port
      4) Oh Inverted
      The Gloating Sun & Nature Bears a Vaccum would be near the top if they were a bit longer. When You Leave Here It's Time to Return has a great gritty low-fi Guided by Voices feel to it and I love it even if it's not all that Shinsy

    On a walk in a fragile state
    Weird angles coming over the wire
    Back home we got girls in braids
    And they're on roller skates, and they roll any way they like
    From my town I can always look down
    Down from my nose to the fish in the barrels
    But in the wiles of human life
    There are pity nights and a ray of gentle lights
    So tonight
    Dance and cry
    The dead alive
    Monuments were awfully dense
    I flew by in a daze on the freeway
    He can whine of our different times
    But me, I'm fine with the mirrors this far away
    For the muse in our bodies to function
    Rain gonna fall on the hills where we hide
    Wash the blood and the guts to the ocean
    Leave the pike making everything alright
    So tonight
    Dance and cry
    The dead alive
    So tonight
    Dance and cry
    The dead alive

    This song is genius. Listen how Mercer adds a scale of 3 to 5 notes and syllables at the end of every verse to brighten up the musicality. "weird angles coming over THE WIRE" or "down my nose to the fish IN THE BARRELS". I also love how he plays with the tone at the end of the part that goes "wash the blood and the guts TO the OCEan".

    Que clipe sensacional. Eu estava esperando uma música nova do Shins desde a fabulosa So Now What. Assumo que esse seja o presságio de um disco novo vindo por aí. Em meio a tantas bandinhas genéricas que tem surgido nos últimos tempos, é seguro afirmar que o James Mercer continua sendo o melhor compositor do indie rock em atividade atualmente. O talento do cara é inquestionável e indiscutível. Espero que o Shins lance um disco tão bom quanto foi o Port Of Morrow.
