Oh, there's a river that winds on forever
I'm gonna see where it leads
Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted
I'm gonna stand on the peak

Out there's a land that time don't command
Wanna be the first to arrive
No time for ponderin' why I'm a-wanderin'
Nowhere the buses lay

To the ends of the earth would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth would you follow me?
If you will have a say my goodbyes to me

Oh, there's an island where all things are silent
I'm gonna whistle a tune
Oh, there's a desert that size can't be measured
I'm gonna count all the dunes

Out there's a world that calls for me, girl
Headin' out into the unknown
Wayfarin' strangers and all kinds of danger
Please don't say I'm going alone

To the ends of the earth would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth would you follow me?
Well if you want, I will say my goodbyes to me

I was a-ready to die for you, baby
Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay
What good is livin' a life you've been given
If all you do is stand in one place

I'm on a river that winds on forever
Follow 'til I get where I'm goin'
Maybe I'm headin' to die but I'm still gonna try
I guess I'm goin' alone)

OK so I was in Vienna this year, heading home with my engagement ring to propose to my then girlfriend Raluca and I said, I'll play Radio Paradise on the way. And this song played. And I read the comments. And I could not believe. I got home, I played her this song and I proposed to her. So I guess Paradise is a good name for what this radio station does

Smooth transition from Fleet Foxes... I didn't even notice until I looked for the words and realized I'd been segued.

Great sound, this group! I appreciate it even better, coming after Nilsson's classic, "Everybody's Talkin'." Way to flow, RP circuit!

Interestingly this song was covered by Kenny Chesney for his album Songs for the Saints, created to provide relief for Hurricane Irma victims.  Check it out if you like this song to see another interpretation.

Ushuaia - one of the "ends of the Earth" on two counts I can think of:

1. Southernmost city in the world (yeah, yeah, I know about Puerto Williams - not a city)
2. Chronological endpoint of human expansion across the globe (final continental landmass to be reached)

Nice.  Easily recognisable style and chord structures, but beautifully different in tone and feeling.

Ushuaia. One of my favourite places on the planet! Great place to propose. Good tune too.

  
It worked out too!, She said yes...The entire plan actually was hatched around hearing this song on RP. We hadn't settled on a vacation spot, but Ushuaia was in the running. Heard this song, got inspired, and the rest of it came together!

It is an occasionally apathetic style of singing to me, but I don't find it sleep-inducing. The instrumentation and production are quite cool.

maybe that lonesome rider on the album cover is reading Ed Abbey's "Desert Solitaire" as his steady mare sifts along the dunes

life changing read imo

Saw these guys at the XPN summer fest in Philly / Camden this year.  Had never heard them before, but either liked or loved every song they did.  A great find!!

I just caught an echo of Mike Reno;(heard he lost 50 pounds and plans a comeback). Please not with that headband thang.
Oh, this piece? Not bad, not bad. 
Posted 9 years ago by TerryS    [ Reply ]

The more I hear this album, the more I like it.  This cut, 'Time to Run,' 'She Lit a Fire.'  Strong work.

There is also the earlier Into The Sun EP that is worth a listen.

Love the drumming and guitar in the instrumental sections—somehow they sound rather Turkish. The guys, however, have a mid-western twang, I think. Bought this song while listening to it here for the first time.

This is one hell of a first listen

i came into room too late to hear the song, though.   next time!

Reminds me of a soundtrack to some yet to air tv commercial for a pickup truck.
 
But I like it.
