The Shy Retirer by Arab Strap

[AdventureTimeXabi]

This gitnucked circus never ends

[TakeMeWithYer]

Not to offend Arab Strap lovers, but I don't know why they added the synthetic drum loops behind such beautiful acoustic guitar, strings, and heartfelt vocals... check out the live performance they did for KEXP if you want to hear what I mean. Here's a link to the Windows Media Player stream.

@TakeMeWithYer I think the idea was to put across the feel of a typical night out, where the music usually 4 to the floor dance music, I could be wrong though.

[mervyndacre]

it sounds like the recording of the word 'cunted' has been played backwards to make it radio-approved. or I could be wrong.

[apfelmann2000]
