Nailed it.

PERFECT description!

A million times yes

@@the420god3 That's the true artist spirit - just one single work imo

Problem is, you can't write this song unless you have the perspective of having done a bunch of other stuff 🤷‍♂

​​@@theorytubetvI'd love more than one song from the artist 😅

you could. go try.

Todd Claxon it's everybody's moon

Thank you for your service sir, this song is even more special to me now.

Verma Arpit fuck yourself

I can’t imagine being there. I’m glad something brought you comfort. This is a great song.

Qatar, around 1 in the morning for me and I heard the same song. Heard it a million times before, but this time, it spoke words I'd never heard before. I feel you.

Hello friend 👋

It's all in the pick/strum hand. Start slow and speed it up, you'll get it.

You can! It’s been two years, have you accomplished it?

No you're right man . That A bass note is clean...

reverb helps too

what's?

Ryan Berry The glory of microphones.

I had a similar reaction to how beautifully crafted the melody is to JUST his lyrics & guitar that I felt nothing was “left out” from the shins version

Very true :')

Thanks a lot!

Oh thanks

What is the meaning of these lyrics?

Dishant Goyal great song. it really resonates with me, i've been through something almost exactly like this. see, this is how i see it, the song is about how relatiomships can change you for the worst. "gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth, only i dont know how they got out" this line shows that the singer's feelings towards his surroundings have changed like everyrthing else. "turn me back into the pet i was when we met, i was happier then with no mind set" this means that when they had met and even before that, he was a 'pet'(pet here meaning sweet and innocent). "and if you took to me like a gull taked to the wind, i'd have jumped from my tree and i'd have danced the the king of the eyesores and the rest of our lives would've faired well" this is one of those "should-a would-a could-a" moments. basically its saying that is she had seen their relationship as something liberating and carefree (much like a gull-a type of bird-takes to the wind), then he'd havebeen encuoraged to jump from his tree (the tree being a metaphor for disconnection from the world) and the relationship could have lasted. "new slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries" 'new sland is a metaphor for change, kinda like how as you move through different stages of life you begin to speak differently. 'stripes' and 'the dirt in you fries' are metaphors for all the bad or unlikable things about life that you dont see as a young innocent child. thus the line translates to: you grow older and change when you start to see the bad things in life. then the lyrics go on to say "never should have called, but my heads to the wall and im lonley" this is something i directly relate to. it happens when you know someone is no good for you and you know nothing good will come from contacting them, but you are so lonley and they are the one and only familliar face around so you call anyway. "all the bakers at dawn, they all cut thier thumbs and bleed into thier buns till they melt away" bakers with cut thumbs are useless, bloody buns are useless. this is a metaphor for feeling totally and utterly unwanted and not needed - bad relationships do that to you. "I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find. Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?" these lyrics are a little more abstract. its obvious the the 'good life he may be doomed never to find' is a life with love. the second pare,however, means that he has no one he trusts and he lust or fire in him. he is asking himself if he should refine, or lower his expectations of love and settle for something he knows he doesnt want just to have love. this isnt a love song, its a song about failed love

@@dylanmassey5597 wow! thank's a lot

I agree a million percent. It's the only thing I'm hanging on to rt now I miss all my Dead friends

Really though is it?

@@tiffanybuie2263 For a lot of people it is. Though art is and will always be subjective.

+Johnny Alias Totally Agree, the best!

You're not alone bro...

What?

Hello friend how are you doing today

@@robertterry9359 good. You??

Fine thanks for asking

@@robertterry9359 why??

CapnHMCrunch jason isbell friend

The Shins have so many great poetic songs.

Lord Huron

lol

I would still have to go with the Atticus Finch type. And although it's true that Atticus couldn't sing to save his life he made up for it with his mad break dancing skills.

Love

Play wut?

I like this comment.

adam meredith I like turtles

I said the same thing!!! 😄

:/

It’s so real , emotion from lyrics to our ears , beautiful .

And if you turned to me like a gull takes to the wind.

😂😂😂

its a mix of G, C, Am, and F

I think he's sitting outside the good life looking in, wondering if he may never get there himself, and making a snide remark with a tinge of jealousy towards the people who lead mundane repetitive lives but at least have a routine

The guy is a lyrical genius ! I wish i could write this well !

@@joshuasunn007 I agree. But learning to play these songs by him for performing live really made me realize 98% of the words people have wrong.

Totally, some of his lyrics are whimsical silly bullshit but always poetic and coherent.

​@@SticksAandstonesBozosame with all of his songs with broken bells, lots of misquoted lyrics

He's palm muting on the downstroke, super cleanly too
