  • Howcome there aren't any lakes in this video? Oh wait...

  • I was lucky enough to literally stumble across these guys at Sasquatch, amazing band!

  • one guy in this band is named fucking THOR!!!!!!!!!

  • @fruitloops983 haha ikr

  • I always seek deeper meaning in their songs.

  • Sooo glad I found Shearwater on a whim. They're so legit and devastatingly underrated.

  • You could waltz to this song.

  • absolutely brilliant!!

  • Mind blowing

  • Just stumbled across this following a friend add. Awesome stuff! It's definately got that Austin, Texas sound. Bit like Midlake! Always room for some more bands like that around!

  • I think I can hear Peter Gabriel's 'San Jacinto' very strongly in there

  • @GabrielsNob agree with that re Peter Gabriel San Jacinto!

  • I'm so excited, I get to see them with Damien Jurado this weekend.

  • @rymcmanus me to man in Norman Ok

  • wooow ! havent heard such a nice song from long time ago! this is brilliant! :)

  • spectacular...

  • The dogs are a little too groomed for my liking - but I love the song!

  • It's like I'm dreaming, hearing this and seeing this.

    

  • I usually dont like music like this, but this song is soooo good.

    I LOVE the video!<333

  • I think I've listened to this song about 20 times in the last two days. I am no where near tired of it. I just recently heard of this band and I REALLY want to get more of their music :)

  • Beautiful video, stunning.

  • Hidden indeed

  • they're are f***ing good

  • anyone know what kind of dog the big one is? looks like a scottish deerhound, but I didn't think they could be white?

  • @DickyG41 it's an irish wolfhound

  • @DickyG41 Close, but not quite. Irish Wolfhound. :) Google em. 

  • This is my first listen to these guys..the music is very relaxing.. even if the lyric is tragic. I don't really understand this song at all!! The last verse references the poem "The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats. It begins:Turning and turning in the widening gyre.The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold" I read that this could mean the end of the earth. Dunno tho.

  • @funfabmegan "That moves, without sound, through the air, through the ground, and that streams through each break carved in the line, and dreams of us" That's the last verse of this song, but I don't see how it's a reference to Yeats. I love the second coming, it's chilling and powerful, if the last verse of this did reference the second coming it'd be a really profound statement, "And dreams of us," the idea of Yeats' rough beast dreaming of us, moving without sound, it's an interesting thought

  • @funfabmegan the album as a whole references the U.S. nuclear tests on Bikini Atoll and the surrounding islands, I think...

  • I love this song. The video is not what I expected; seems a little random. I really need to buy this CD. :-)

  • I love this song. The video is unusually lovely.

  • not a huge fan on the singing but amazing piano tone

  • Wow, this is great music!

  • This video is SO ripe for a Weird Al makeover, I can't believe it. But the music is absolutely stellar.

  • @jilkuk  Yes! Go Al.

  • God, I can't wait to get this release....

  • this is a great band... but okkervil river is still better

  • @wasabihansen No you just like them better. Totally different bands at this point.

  • great band, overall

  • the small dog Jonathan owns gets lost then he finds the big dog belonging to the other man, who in turn finds his small dog...not hard to get guys!

  • Amazing......

  • I'm confused too.

    but song and video are stunning.

    why did shearwater start shooting videos, or is this an exception and kinda promo?

  • i'm really confused by this video.
