I see color
Raining down
Feral feeling
Swaying sound
But I don't know what you want

I am open
I am restless
Let me feel it out
Let it all come out

Wake me up
I'm fever dreaming
And now I lose control
I'm fever dreaming

Shake it out
It's just a-what I'm feeling
And now I take control
I'm fever dreaming

I'm fever dreaming

Oh so quiet
When they laid me in the stream
And the starlit sky
Grew before my eyes
Twenty-two women stood by the banks and cried
Oh ah

Wake me up
I'm fever dreaming
And now I lose control
I'm fever dreaming

Shake it out
It's just what I'm feeling
And now I take control
I'm fever dreaming

I'm fever dreaming
I must be fever dreaming
I'm fever dreaming

Not really a fan - Of Monsters and Men.   Going with a 5 on my first listen.

Low number of ratings (13) at time of post.  Average went to 6.5 from 6.1.



Let me explain, jake. 2 + 2 = 4

I just listened to it closely and your initial assessment is correct. They have written the lyrics incorrectly.

The more I hear this band on here the more I think I should start DLing their music. Sounds real good, I can see myself driving through the countryside to this.

This is a cross between Sinead and Siouxsie.



agreed. i always thought it was "i feed the tree head" but, hey...

***EDIT 3 months later - i still can't not hear "i feed the tree head." this has played a few times here in the last 3 months and on my local NPR station, and this gets stuck in my head all day each time.   things could be worse!

What a dumpster fire the US music industry has become in the past 30 years.  Such a shame as it could have become something great, and truly broadened all the different genres of music.

Blame iheart radio for that

The real Shinead could use some of that energy! 


Are you referring to Sinead O'Connor? 
This surely is an upbeat, well produced, exciting song, with a strong voice.
But it's still candy floss compared to the raw violence of Sinead's voice.

The cover art looks like the sort of thing that Tracey Emin wishes she were talented enough to paint.

It’s ‘I’m fever dreaming’ according to the RP lyrics library. Settled!

Iceland again



Unkind as it may sound, but I fear Björk made me suspicious of the Icelandic music scene for ever.

I really love Nanna's passionate voice, and this one jams a bit harder than their previous songs heard here. I'd love to see them do this live!

No, I think it's tree-hen. The arboreal cousin of the standard farm variety.

There needs to be more compression - This tune needs to be at 11 from start to finish.  There's too much music out there with crescendo & diminutive movements.

Really digging this. Great rocking energy.

....aand, as if in reply to your comment, @BillG played a twofer, following this with 'Visitor' which sounds nothing like 'Alligator'. :)

I heard that too.  This is my first listen.  Thought it was a Belly song I missed for a minute.

I'll give it an 8.  Nice texture to it.

Wow, I can't stand the couple of singles by this band that usually get played, but this is much better!

Perfect for a much-needed mid-afternoon office dance break!

For some reason I always want a G&T when I hear this song !

I like this but it reminds me of Teigan and Sara. I don't know if that's a good thing.

Sounds very much like Chrvches, but slightly more pop-y. If you guys are into this sound give that band a listen, they're pretty good.
