I think I'll go home and mull this over
Before I cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, its colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat

Rip the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off, go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin, hiding the fact you're dead again
Underneath the power lines seeking shade

Far above our heads
Are the icy heights that contain all reason

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when you know we should've fold
On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped
And of the whole mess of roads we're now on

Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is
One day I'll be wondering how I got so old just wondering how
Never got cold wearing nothing in the snow

This is way beyond
My remote concern of being condescending
All these squawking birds won't quit
Building nothing, laying bricks

Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is
One day I'll be wondering how I got so old just wondering how
Never got cold wearing nothing in the snow

This is way beyond
My remote concern of being condescending
All these squawking birds won't quit
Building nothing, laying bricks

The lyrics are good, once you get to read them. I love this song, but after having listened to it 10-20 times I could still only understand a solitary word here and there.

Agreed. We saw them at the Capital in Port Chester.

Did they break into 'American Girl' in the middle of an encore performance of 'Sleeping Lessons' in your show too?

Fantastic performance.

Mercer's words lay bare a beautiful soul that I relate too


The cap!!!

The Shins würde ich ohne RP wohl nicht kennen. Habe mir schon ein paar LPs gekauft und alle sind klasse. Das gleiche trifft auch z.B. auf Spoon zu.

Greetings from Bavaria to all the listeners outside

It's very good to look back on this great record that,  if it hadn't broke through, would have been the end of Mercer and the Shins.

Interesting to hear his early voice and compare it to later singing.  He has clearly extended his vocal range and developed his style - a good thing in my estimation because so many singers think that the less they try the better they must be (Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bono etc.).

James Mercer is The Shins at the end of the day.  Kinda like anything Jack White is involved with, IMHO.

Posted 14 years ago by Cynaera    [ Reply ]
I usually don't weigh in with "I think it sounds like ..." comments because so much music is derivative or inspired by other stuff (not saying that's a bad thing all), but in this case this song is really reminding me of something, and I think it's Twin Peaks.  Anybody else hearing it, or is it just me? {#Ask}
Posted 14 years ago by smdeeg    [ Reply ]

So these are the Shins, eh?  Have heard this song previously on RP but was probably too distracted to look up.

I don't see the similarity to Porcupine Tree except the shifting time signatures, use of synthesizer, harmonies.

Even crazier, I've spent the last five minutes scratching my head trying to think of what early obscure early 70s
record  that the voice reminded me of and it wasn't Ozzy, it was Roy Wood's singing off the first ELO record.
Anyone with me on this ?

I like the Shins, but I'm not overly fond of this song.  "New Slang" and "Chutes Too Narrow" are far more interesting, IMHO.

Thank you, ever so kindly, to the world that I got into this band before Garden State. Sure, New Slang reminds me of Natalie Portman in a helmet, but Caring is Creepy has no such association. Woo. Bill should play some Sea and Cake. Maybe I should figure to suggest some on the review channel.

Frankly I'm baffled by some of the comments I see in here. The Shins haven't put out a bad record yet. They opened for Belle & Sebastian at the Hollywood Bowl and it was a terrific set. Great sense of humor as they played to a not-quite-full house. It was really an intimate set for such a large venue. The new record seems a little overproduced to me, but I've only given it one spin so far.
Posted 17 years ago by withnail    [ Reply ]
I like the Shins, but I have to try really hard to find a song here. I find their songs wildly uneven regarding quality. I cannot listen to any of their albums through from start to finish, for example.

Irresistably catchy. What's not to like? Reminds me of early Simon & Garfunkle. As for Garden State, I give it a thumbs up. Speaking of S&G and Garden State, "The Only Living Boy in New York" (another great song) is also on the soundtrack.

One day I'll be wondering how I got so old just wondering how I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow" For those of you in disbelief about the popularity of the Shins I think the lyrics are one of the things that really make them stand out. Mercer's writing seems to accomplish strange, poetic, quirky, and beautiful all at the same time. Although the production of this record is less than stellar(and many of us are used to very overproduced records) if you can listen past that you'll hear some unique and ingenious little songs.
