Remember how I used to work as a flight attendant and I had a flight with a friend of mine to Lisbon. Then we stayed there for a day and it was a late night outside we were drinking wine and listening to this song.
How is it humanly possible to write songs things good? I got upset when they announced their extreme hiatus, but then I figured I'd be okay with it if they decided they were done for good. I thought Heaven was a little below par for them, and I'd be nervous that any more albums they did just wouldn't cut it. As it is, we will always have You And Me, Lisbon, Bows And Arrows, Hundred Miles Off, Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me. You And Me is a completely faultless album for me, but the other albums all contain some of the greatest songs I've ever known. And this comes from someone who grew up with Zeppelin, Queen, The Who etc right up to Radiohead and Arcade Fire. For me, The Walkmen will always be one of the greats, and one of my three favorite bands to come from the 2000's, along with Arcade Fire and The National.
Pedro, thank you for this beautiful video of Lisbon to accompany The Walkmen at their most elegant. Yes, I think it is the guitars, but also Matt Barrick's restrained percussion. While not my favourite Walkmen album - that has to be the flawless You and Me - the final three tracks of Lisbon, which see the title track preceded by "Torch Song" (extraordinary harmonies) and "While I Shovel the Snow" are thirteen minutes of unbroken magnificence. I got it real bad for this band.

Having grown up in Lisbon, this song evokes a paroxysm of nostalgia. It's the guitars, I think.
And I plan to move there and it captures my imagination
Beautiful video thank you Shane.
