The Shins-Past and Pending

[bitchfckdoodleshucks]

It's french horn I think.

[MyCrazzySoxRoxUrSox]

from 2:16 to 2:33 what instrument is that? 

[mungent25]

1 in 300 people dislike this song. True fact.

[ceephish19]

nickelback<3!

[SiiKDuck]

@ceephish19 why would you compare this to nickelback? such a disgrace.

[ceephish19]

@SiiKDuck joke total joke. the fact that nickelback plays on the radio and real music does not is a disgrace

[SiiKDuck]

@ceephish19 true that man

[cleopatracuminatcha]

so much love for this band

[lapseofmind]

love this song

[killercroc89]

The guitar sounds a little like the one in Saving Grace by Everlast. Of course The Shins beat Everlast to hell :-)

[raven1always]

I always want to lie down in the grass and watch the summer sky-stars and planets streaking past-while listening to this song :))

[ThorsRus1]

Whenever I feel overwhelmed or like I'm losing my mind, I listen to The Shins, and everything makes sense again.

[lalaella16]

This is so beautiful. So damn beautiful.

[drinktealikeaboss]

I'll always have a soft spot for this song :) I used to listen to it almost every night just before bed.

[chinnythewarrior]

@drinktealikeaboss I've fallen asleep to this song on repeat many times, it's fantastic.

[Hydraex2]

If you're in middle school or up and a normal human then The Shins probably make you think of a special someone. <3

[423musicfan]

@Hydraex2 not so much this song

[ledwards121]

@hardcorelifeforus000 its like you read my mind

[DrDownSyndrome]

After a stressful day of reality this helped me escape the pain. Never stop.

[rihu1091]

One of my favourite song !

[aliathchavez55]

This was played at heath ledgers funeral. Rip heath. <3

[DaFeeshey]

@aliathchavez55 He had good taste

[christina26929]

love this song!<3

[hardcorelifeforus000]

this is what you listen to when you're high

[WritingIsAPipeDream]

2:05 "Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love."

[ThatJennings]

Every year I play this song on the first cool, crisp day of Autumn when I go out for a walk at sunrise. It's pretty perfect

[teemusique]

These lyrics mean so much to me right now and the song is equally as bone chilling.

[kcarusos1]

I do not understand who disliked this song...it had to be on accident...such a beautiful collection of notes and words...really digs down into your soul.

[ykatnoe]

Every Shins song I come to on Youtube has a top comment articulating how amazing the song is in the most beautiful way.. so of course I am inclined to listen and then never disappointed.

[EnvyPiecesOfRainbow]

i love this song :) it's so calm & chill

great to listen to when stoned

[noho40]

who's the shin hater

[andrewdrury1]

@noho40 kick them in the shins if you find them

[MyStevie1990]

My god shins you've done it again. Onli discovered them about a year ago and every song i listen to is just better than the last. Such an underrated band!!!

[noho40]

@MyStevie1990 let's keep them underrated, don't want them selling out now. ;) just kidding

[pearljammer13]

I heard this song plays at the gates of paradise.

[vitamanj200]

playing this for a girl and holding her close. greatest feeling one can get.

[Knnrm]

Its so much better live, they're amazing!

[00Discourse00]

Every once and a while, I revert to the shins and wallow a little, and everything slows down, just for a few minutes, and it reminds me how lucky I am that I met somebody who makes everything ok. Takes care of me when I'm injured, and cares for me when I'm careless. You don't understand the meaning of the words "She makes me whole" until you find the person that's right for you.

[3stepTheosis]

ahh this brings back the memories of drinking myself numb to forget the loss of my love.

[ilovenerds2000]

beautiful.

[tomatofacehaterr]

omgggg...i havent listened to this since grade eight. suuch awesome memories. i miss the shins!

[mibs56]

Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love

[littleboeep]

To me this is the best song on this album.

[JahRasta311]

I got mad laid to Oh, Inverted World one time. Her choice, loved the album ever since. Culminated to this song as we fell asleep, was one of those perfectly unforgettable instances. Needless to say lots of alcohol and mary were involved.

[egroszz]

its so gorgeous..... its one of those songs that noone could ever change or ever want to change. its hard to find those kinds of songs lately....

[danashigidy]

This was played at Heath Ledgers funeral, because its one of his favorite songs.

[singintheshower0]

got into college listening to this it just came on stereomood. surrrreal.

[TokoYami200]

Pretty much a perfect end to a perfect album. Just like Leif Erikson to Interpol's Turn On the Bright Lights.

[801Muse]

the shins are the best thing to happen to me....

[segroves]

reminds me of a long ride while viewing a back country side in autumn,

[andykins118118]

lose yourself in lines dissecting...

[justmarriedtomusic]

makes me feel like it is sommer and i'm sitting at a sea with an interesting person :)

[jorgau1]

1 person got kicked out of the band in the early stages

[bitchfckdoodleshucks]

freaking amazing song. <3

[coheed0211]

Play this song while on the rainymood website. It's amazing.

[viahh55]

@coheed0211 omg thank you for introducing me to this website.

[coheed0211]

@viahh55

It is quite magical, isn't it?

[squintz03]

This is one of the first songs I was introduced to..I really love their music. I agree with u JMaths!

[xxxscrubsxx]

wow, this is really good

just amazing

[AmericaRuinsYou]

anyone know what the instrument is near the end that plays for like 45 seconds? was that a trumpet solo?

[cookies2992]

@AmericaRuinsYou i think it maybe a clarinet

[SKAisJOY]

@cookies2992

french horn :D

[cookies2992]

@SKAisJOY haha now that i listen. i dont know why i thought clarinet

[rad199]

@AmericaRuinsYou It's actually a french horn. : )

[tbonestillz]

I love albums that become like a soundtrack for a period of your life

[kiddR0B0tt]

They need to get their ass off hiatus already!

[Caleb4201986]

m.....mmmmm

[saraband0]

They played this at Heath Ledger's funeral.



[trracy03]

is that a french horn or euphonium solo?

[BrunetteSiren]

@trracy03 french horn.

[amazinglyace]

@trracy03 French horn ;)

[radgirlsbff]

amazing. 

[wishbonex697]

i want to play this at my funeral.

[wiam333]

@wishbonex697 better yet you can play this when you are living

[asonjaryg]

@wiam333 Good form. That way , they could actually hear it.

[mrsalbinorhino]

just in complete awe of this song.

[KarolineBjorling]

This is one of my favorite songs! :-D

The sound it's amazing, and you can just totally relax when you hear it! :-)

Love <3

[bandfan1234]

Amazing song, it's really calming and it sounds like something you would listen to while staring at the sky. Ah, the power of music.

[ehhno0]

The sound is so amazing I could just zone out and close my eyes to this <3

[aforcevids]

@ehhno0

Thanks to today's technology, you CAN do that.

[asonjaryg]

This song takes you somewhere. Brilliant.

[PaddyLuver]

i love the euphonium solo. thats one of my favorite parts :)

[Steifschulz]

I love it! I love it! I love it! I´m sounding like a groupie, but that doesn´t matter. Did I already mention that i love this song? :D

[drew4980]

I think its about a girl who cheated on her boyfriend and he knows of the pending that the relationship will end or she will do it again. He tries to dissect love to understand why she did it.

[hetzijnberen]

so lovely

[asalvarezgab]

Fucking amazing !

[jmaths117]

this is prolly one of the best albums of all time. I hope the shins can give us some more songs that make us feel that way

[obeyAP]

@jmaths117 broken bells now

[locustskater]

@obeyAP I think broken bells is more of a side project. Kind of like what Alex Turner did with The Last Shadow Puppets.

[crystalmccutie]

@jmaths117 Giatas



[missXbuchanan]

Wonderful song.

Miss Buchanan XOXO
