the shins - kissing the lipless

[pookierules1]

my favorite shins song

[DominoGray]

I'm trying to get into The Shins; it sounds like they're so close to being good. But for me, they totally lack any sincere aggression, which I just can't get into. Anyone have any recommendations for me to give this a second go?

[Shinnjr12]

@DominoGray Keep listening bro, I was the same way. I fell in love with them while walking through a calm forest on a perfect day. It can be spiritual.

[funnyguy134]

@DominoGray I feel the same way! I really liked Australia though, so idk why I can't get intoany of their other songs :(

[Reverendshot777]

@DominoGray There isn't really any aggression in their songs dude, you need to be in a serene mood to enjoy them otherwise they can grate if you're in a bitter or even slightly annoyed mood lol.



[chrisgolden00]

This is their best song! :)

[ThePowerDoor]

The shins are quite a bit better than the kooks my friend

[3Evelynee]

Kinda remind me of the Kooks!

[FIDsmoggydrizzle]

krux trucks really get my nads! pumping!!

[Josstina83]

This song is just EPIC ;)

[TourdeStockton]

This is one of the most emotionally stirring songs I can think of. Thank you The Shins for making it and LdnQueen for posting this as an alternative to the actual video which is quite disturbing.

I'd like to bury Jenn Grattan in my backyard

[pulat1993]

i just opened my window! :D

[123cjg]

I'm 17 years old, a normal dude, and i swear to you I cannot listen to the shins anymore without crying out of happiness. There is so much nostalgia in their music, and it has been the soundtrack to some of the most lonely, happy, bored, and beautiful moments in my life. Most mind-blowing music

[BAMZ77]

That's okay.... My last boyfriend was a can opener. one of those that, yes, you want to "bury in the yard". Let's not kill the song though.... its beautiful and one can only imagine that it IS deep thought full of history...!!! muah to the Shins!!!

[prettybiscuits]

what does kissing the lipless mean? i dont like the phrase

[daftrhetoric]

@prettybiscuits Kissing the lipless is like loving a toaster oven; merciless, desperate insincerity. It's a pretty, painful song that makes me feel that I want to give up, but I always remember that life is full of possibilities.

[d1neu1]

@daftrhetoric my first love was a toaster oven. she was hott

[HipHopaaDoodle]

[trufflesis]

[Yummycherrypie89]

Intellectuals rule indie. Thank god, there's something FUN out there for us. People think we are all uptight....fuck them.

[Postscript624]

Though a lot of the time the pretentious can also rule indie, so you've gotta be careful.

Intellectuals REALLY rule nerdcore.

[Mattchode]

Well said (:

[0bpdn9dm]

[livey204]
