Falar de Australia, a canção que me chamou a atenção para o The Shins é fácil. Ela traz um quê das canções dos Beatles, uma coisa perdida lá pelos idos 70. Uma grata surpresa.
"Australia" Time to put the earphones on: No! Born to multiply or born to gaze into night skies, When all you want's one more Saturday. Well look here, until then They're gonna buy your life's time So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters 'Til the day... We come in doing cartwheels We all crawl out by ourselves And your shape on the dance floor Will have me thinking such filth I'll gouge my eyes. You'd be damned to be one of us, girl Faced with a dodo's conundrum I felt like I could just fly But nothing happened every time I tried. Oh, duotone on the wall The selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all Never dreamt of such sterile hands, You keep them folded in your lap, Or raise them up to beg for scraps, You know, he's holding you down, With the tips of his fingers just the same, But you were pulled from the ocean, But just a minute too late, Or changed by a potion, And find a handsome young mate For you to love. You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes, You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe's, Well do it now or grow old, Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold. Been alone since you were twenty-one, You haven't laughed since January, You try and make like this is so much fun, But we know it to be quite contrary. Dare to be one of us, girl, Facing the android's conundrum, I felt like I should just cry, But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin, Yeah, Himmler in your coat, You don't know how long I've been, Watching the lantern dim, Starved of oxygen, So give me your hand, And let's jump out the window.
i love his voice SO much
THERE SHOULD BE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE SHINS!
What an unusual request
Yes please!
what an incredible voices james mercer has
"You'd be damned to be one of us, girl. Faced with the dodo's conundrum." best lyric ever.
Falar de Australia, a canção que me chamou a atenção para o The Shins é fácil. Ela traz um quê das canções dos Beatles, uma coisa perdida lá pelos idos 70.
Uma grata surpresa.
I just love their music
I wish they also performed Sleeping Lessons
I think James Mercer is possibly my favorite person.
el guitar solo de Dave Hernández sublime
Love these dudes. New video for Its Only Life is really good
Ugh, such a masterpiece of a song. Such a masterpiece of a band.
Does he seriously never remember its "fly" after "dodos conundrum". He seems to forget when he played on the letterman show tooX D
Yep he’s still one of the smartest musicians out there
Ths Smiths meet The Beach Boys (I mean this particular song, of course).
I want more!
nice blue telecaster ;)
TIME TO PUT ZEE EARCOVERS OWN!!!!
"Australia"
Time to put the earphones on:
No!
Born to multiply or born to gaze into night skies,
When all you want's one more Saturday.
Well look here, until then
They're gonna buy your life's time
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
'Til the day...
We come in doing cartwheels
We all crawl out by ourselves
And your shape on the dance floor
Will have me thinking such filth I'll gouge my eyes.
You'd be damned to be one of us, girl
Faced with a dodo's conundrum
I felt like I could just fly
But nothing happened every time I tried.
Oh, duotone on the wall
The selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all
Never dreamt of such sterile hands,
You keep them folded in your lap,
Or raise them up to beg for scraps,
You know, he's holding you down,
With the tips of his fingers just the same,
But you were pulled from the ocean,
But just a minute too late,
Or changed by a potion,
And find a handsome young mate
For you to love.
You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes,
You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe's,
Well do it now or grow old,
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold.
Been alone since you were twenty-one,
You haven't laughed since January,
You try and make like this is so much fun,
But we know it to be quite contrary.
Dare to be one of us, girl,
Facing the android's conundrum,
I felt like I should just cry,
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin,
Yeah, Himmler in your coat,
You don't know how long I've been,
Watching the lantern dim,
Starved of oxygen,
So give me your hand,
And let's jump out the window.
