The Shins "Australia"

[megalomaniacalia]

Man, I get so addicted to James Mercer's singing sometimes. It just meshes so well with the music!

[0wadeelf0]

The Peter Bjorn and John remix of this songs is really good, perhaps better than the original.

[hmmHMM3]

i don't understand why it's called australia?

[CheerinSoftballer]

cuz the songs awesome. the shins are awsome. and australias awesome. it all connects cuz its awesome.

[montanagriz49]

they wrote this song in australia so that's why they call it australia. but this song is sooooo amazing. i love the shins.

[ichhalt000]

There's a really simple answer to your question...

It's called Australia because he wrote it there during their tour...

As far as I know, there's no other reason for it ;)

[edouardkurtis]

for fans of modest mouse, iron and wine, and the beatles check out Green Plastic Whistle "I Await To Be A Ghost" on YouTube.

[silversun18]

They should have used all those balloons to float somewhere awesome, Like Australia.

[vanillagoat]

Yeah Australia is a pretty awsome place :)

[dadattmo]

litter

[pxmabby]

not litter, those balloons are stars! they'd would become litter in a landfill after the car lot was through with them. free the balloons, i say!

[Shereshevesky]

They played in my second cousin's garage when they were starting out.

[Ca7Bby]

Whoa.

[BestCoolGuy22]

That's actually really cool.

[ReggieRezz]

i love love love the shins

but i hate this music video. they're too old for this.

[salthut]

I enjoyed the video but then I thought that all those balloons are going to deflate and end up somewhere and my fun was deflated. Damn 21st century awareness.

[ilrb2]

man, I just saw these guys live in Montclair, they were absolutely amazing. I had no idea whether they were a good live band or not but they blew me away and their playing of this song was spectacular. It was a lot louder and a bit more up-tempo but it worked.

[shukert95]

i like the song caring is creepy by them better...

but good:}!

[enigmaCSS]

hmm i forgot how good this song is... lol

the only cds that i listen to most of the time is Oh Inverted World and Chutes Too Narrow

[enigmaCSS]

Hmmm Australian rabbits are way better

[woundsofthecrisis]

[DanteNeverCries]
