  • best song on an amazing album imho

  • this song reminds me of lazy mornings. perfect.

  • oh man forgot about this wow

  • I've actually listened to this song various times before I actually became aware of it; I have a habit of playing Chutes Too Narrow when going to sleep, and as a result, never got to listen to this song, per se. One sleepless night, I reached the end of the album; I became entranced. I never knew that such a magnificent, such a perfect song could ever exist. After playing it on repeat, it's meaning became clearer; the song dies only to "strangely return," much like life itself.

    Perfection.

  • Winter Passing brought me here ,and i love it

  • i love this song, its the best time.

  • Great little song....

  • Beautiful yet simple melody....

  • This Is Honestly The Only Song I Can Listen To Repeatedly

  • Chuck the tv show got me listening to these guys, first song i heard from them was

    "A Commet Appears" there brilliant!

  • the beauty of pandora, i make a "band of horses" radio and get this, thankgod

  • @couldcarexless The Shins is how I found Band of Horses on Pandora! :)

  • earection 

  • Put both headphones in, close your eyes, and listen to this song while you're swinging. It is sooo relaxing.

    greatsong<3

  • @ur1andonlyloser is it pretty easy, sounds like it i was going to try to figure it out.

  • I love this song. I just learned how to play it on Guitar yesterday. =]

  • Thx to radio paradise!!!! This song is so gooooooooooooooooddd

  • Listen to this song with rainymood! It's awesome! <3

  • i love this song its so calming and soothing.

    :)

  • The Shins are just mindblowing.

  • Absurd...that is the word that resonates like a shivering cymbal in my mind.

    If we are nothing than we must be absurd.

    Who listens to this song and hears in the repetition cycles of human existence from the individual to the collective...

  • this song makes me want to lay down in a snow drift during a snowstorm... dont know why but its sooo soothing best song be the shins

  • If you like this listen to its inspiration... Pink Floyd - Pillow of Winds.

  • @Msosw thank you so much

  • @Msosw I listened to Pillow of Winds, nice song but I didn't hear the similarity to this song. Just me I guess? The Shins would have been huge in the 60's and 70's, but I'm glad they're around today.

  • master piece !

  • its so mellow and calming I LOVE SHINs there very awesome ! :D

  • when I listen to this song I picture a girl, someone I really love, in a sunny morning, making tea on underwear and then picking some fruit in the yard, with her hair messy, in bare feet, unawear of my attention ... with the leafs wispering

  • highly relaxing music.

  • Our favortie by far :)

  • Anyone else think this song's about taking shrooms, cuz I think it is

  • Favourite.

  • hey guys this song is really doable on the guitar! it feels great singing and playing this song. Its just plucking the bottom strings of D over and over, then switching to A then back to D. Try it! feels so good.

  • omg this song is an eargasm after a great night or herbing with your pals. A great way to end an awsome birthday.

  • Beautiful and simple song! Brilliant!

  • this is genius.. <3

  • perfect.

  • love it.

  • I like to think it's about the experience of life of which other entities try to influence. Angels, Demons, Aliens, The Admixed. We have been set at the most high place and they just want to experience what we have been given. Do we appreciate it enough? Do we savor every moment? Do we consider the blades of grass?

  • I like to think that the best of things are saved for those who actually seek them. This is one of the best of things. Seek and ye shall find.

  • i am having fun here in the pinapple, listening to shins rock, hellz yea

  • I always look forward to this track at the end of the album :)

  • It's Rather Lovely

  • It's Rather Lovely

  • It's Rather Lovely

  • Existential....

  • I make tea in my underwear.

    It's drafty.

  • a kiss on your molten eyes

  • Comment removed

  • presiosss

  • Funny.. I hear "circles" within this song... over and over.. circles! :)

  • @Melindaca2 i hear it too (glad it's not just me) it's kind of perfect :)

  • Winter Passing.

  • Meaningless repetition is an existential spin on a song that seems to be contemplative rather than philosophical. I prefer to view this song as being about the acceptance and realization of the mystery of life. Whether it is absurd and meaningless or magical and meaningful is up to how you experience it. Either can be true.

  • Song is about coming to the realization that life is absurd. Thoughts are constructions of trying to solve away reality; control. Good or bad is in the air, the only assured thing is the absurd; meaningless repetition. - I think

  • i love this song too - i remember it from the movie - In Good Company, when he's staring at her picture on his computer screen, and i was hooked from then on! But I'm not sure i know what this song means.... can anyone help me?

  • This song is about the absurdity of human existence, i.e. a repetitious, meaningless, and extremely finite circle.

  • im so glad i know this song otherwise id just be lost

  • Why were you thumbsdownded twice???

  • this is my favorite song by them

  • waaaaay underrated. why dont i hear about it as much as stuff like new slang and caring is creepy?

  • wooooooooooow

  • song is fucking fantastic

  • I had this on while ordering a pizza and the person taking my order told me that it was fantastic and wanted to know what it was. Obviously the quality of the song has just be verified.

  • haha.

    that. is. epic.

  • This is one of my favorite songs by them. The imagery created by it reminds me of a Thunderstorm. :)

  • something so calming about this song... I can see staring out a window through a raining, stormy night too :)

  • i listen to it when i can't go to sleep, it soothes me(:

  • Shins at their sublime best

  • every song on this album is amazing

  • They are cold, still waiting in the ether to form, feel, kill, propagate.. only to die.. 5/5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I KNOW! AHHHHHHHHHH I love it so much :)

  • this is the first song I've heard from the shins and i think I'm going to buy their album!! <3

  • Absolutely beautiful. I love to listen to this song while I'm alone at my beach house.

  • this song will be at my funeral!!

  • This song is incredible, it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it

  • This book makes me think of Seven pounds for some reason

  • For some reason, this song makes me think of sitting on a deck watching a Thunderstorm at sunset.

  • lazy sunday afternoon

  • i love how he describes the "modern girl" making tea in her underwear. The imagery this song evokes is both unique and wonderful.

  • @jam454 Yes.

    Beautiful indeed >:)

  • i love how he describes the "modern girl" in her underwear. The imagery this song evokes is unique and wonderful.

  • one of my many favorite songs

  • cocoanino made a music video with this song, and it prompted me to buy it. It's too bad she no longer has a presence on YouTube. This is a beautiful and deep song.

  • making tea in your underwear?

  • are there any other shins songs like this?

  • Try "New slang"

  • New Slang's okay. Not my favorite song of theirs, but it was the song that got me in to them.

  • Red Rabbits kind of.

    Past and Pending.

    Kissing the Lipless would kinda be a stretch...

  • this song makes everything i see more real, and more vivid. simple things become really incredible,

    fav shins song.

  • my favorite shins song on chutes too narrow.

  • god damn i looooove this. <33333333333333333333333

  • why isnt this famous?

  • it isn't famous because it's just so good. ever notice how the best stuff is a secret?... for those who know.

  • I know what you mean. I had never heard One by One All Day, until i bought Oh, Inverted World and its easily one of my favorite songs that they do.

  • @fivepointsix it's because the best stuff is different then what you hear everyday, if it was famous then it would no longer be "the best stuff" it would be "the regular stuff"

  • @fivepointsix "it isn't famous because it's just so good."? You don't honestly believe that tripe you're spewing do you? Don't get me wrong it's a great song but you might want to check your scarf and tight pants because they seem to be restricting blood flow to the parts you think with.

  • @fivepointsix very very true my good sir.

  • @fivepointsix yeah this is definitely a secret... NO ONE knows.

  • @fivepointsix you're so right. ;D

  • wow this is really good, i like it a lot

  • great song! loves the fact that you put it up

  • Favorite one so far, love the guitar.

  • i love this song...

    I drive and live in this shitty town of Alabama, this song comes on and the trees are more vivid and the sky is much bluer. And everything just doesn't seem as bad.

    once again...i love this song

  • i watched winter passing and this song came up, oh man what a great song :D

  • One of the best songs ever.

  • swooooooooooooon

  • Great =) Thx 4 uploading
