The broken bells are nothing compared to the shins! I WANT YOU BACK SHIIIIIINS! oh and for those of you that think this comment is random its not, the singer for the broken bells was the singer for the shins before they broke on.
@TheWarhammerfreak This song is actually really reminiscent of the Shins in my opinion, And Broken Bells > never hearing james mercer's voice post-shins-breakup.
I wish I had cool enough toking buddies who actually feel the kinda music that I feel, especially when Im high as funk :) My friends are fuckin rank listening to the shittiest hip hop n rap now a days, they just cant take a chance to listen to real music.
A great song that every adult can relate to. We are all told when we are kids that we are special and that we can do whatever we want, when in reality, most of us are going to end up like regular jack-offs... living paycheck to paycheck, taking care of kids, drink an occasion beer and then die with heart full of regret. But it doesn't have to be that way... there is always an escape and takes an immense amount of courage to take it.
@Tavera12 cuz we are all fukin slaves to money then just like the song sweet symphony by the verve so fuck who cares have fun and enjoy life we only got a few years to live lol
I think its their best song. Bought their album on a total punt, not expecting a great deal. Turns out its actually exceptionally good..... we just need another from them!!
oo llleyy FUCK! Is this fuckin great or what? sounds like sex to my ears... Its not too late, to feel a little more alive! i beleive god wrote this song
everyone dangermouse makes beats for always has the best lyrics too like ceelo green when they were in gnarls barkley or even when he did the album dark night of the soul
@dryfly808 me too!! i only discovered broken bells a few months ago, and i only have a few songs (the high road, vaporize, and the ghost inside). Would you recommend buying the whole album dryfly808?
@MissDelicia87 I feel like sometimes they just make me wish i was listening to the shins... kinda like broken bells almost does it for me, where as the shins do it for me
This whole album is amazing! I'm not surprised that it is nominated for a Grammy...I hope it wins. btw, you can get the album for only $5 on Amazon this month!!
I just got their album this month.. I love it.. its going into my favourite classic album.
I can see myself listening to this album few years from now and still be amazed how great they are.. Expecially music today, with a the pop, media and its nice to see a music as art...as it should be.. not a merchindize...
i agree....nice to find an album that will stand the test of time just cause it's freakin good....bare bones ...so tired of poppy adolescent crap that bombards the airwaves...music is an art and good music lovers should really be demanding more of groups like this one!!
Before you comment perhaps you should take note that my comment was directed at captainawesome11 . Also, I don't give two shits about slipknot, it was just a nice rhyme. And to make things clear, this song is fucking awesome.
@redkush420 Then clearly you've never heard MGMT or Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Now those bands can be considered 'New Age Beatles'... and even then, you can't compare.
once 2:11 comes, i feel a new purpose in life. Doubtless, we've been through this, if you wanna follow me you should know, i was lost then and im lost now, and i doubt i'll ever know which way to go
I tried to figure out what it was about this song that kept my attention, cuz the chord structure is kinda weird. It took me a few listens. Its that bassline, mixed with james' voice. Its awesome
..if you're into "the indie rock sorta thing," give a quick look at our videos.. not many uploaded yet, since the band is still really only in its "baby stages," ..but still :)
You guys are RETARDED, this is obviously a great song, a great indie band, and an awesome duo of Mercer and Danger Mouse. It's fresh, trippy, and reminds me of a few bands I already love: MGMT, The Pixies, The Coral and The Shins (Mercer's band).
So let me just say, I was really depressed that Mercer wasn't returning back to the Shins till 2011. But Broken Bells is FRIGGEN AMAZING. Lyrical like the Shins, but the music is on a whole new level. Broken Bells can't totally replace my undying love for the Shins but I stilll reallly like this new collaberation between Danger Mouse and mercer.
I pulled up this song, and then realized i was already playing this album in itunes. lol.
