i'm so in love with this album. it's like a mixture of matt costa + crosby stills & nash / simon & garfunkel / bob dylan / fleet foxes... and then this song just reminds me of billy joel
luckily, dumb asses haven't seen this beautiful video!! this is why it hasn't negative thumbs!!! amazing, It's rarely some videos haven't negative votes!!!!
@inlinekidk2 Totally agree. I hated it at first, and now its growing on me just a tad. Its strange how drastically his style of music has changed from the last two albums.
I really couldn't be happier that Costa took the direction he did. Unfamiliar Faces was epic, no doubt, but his rise in popularity presented dangerous potential for Matt to fall into a less creative spotlight. His songwriting is as strong as ever and I'm digging the retro/donovan feel. He's got a knack for finding a consistent album theme, this record is going to be an acquired taste for most but it will stand, proudly, with the rest of his work. Can't wait to see what he's got going next.
This song is one of the few good songs on his new album. He just got too into the reverb and tremlo, the whole album is over worked with effects. I loved his first two albums especially Unfamilar Faces it is in my top ten albums of all time easily. This album is trying too hard to be like Donovan and let me tell you Donavan is just alright and that is all this album is just alright.
@hmsdonovan The only really good thing to come from donovan was ione skye. Well maybe Sunshine Superman is pretty good in fact I saw Matt Costa and Donovan perform it together somewhere on the internet, but really no disrespect or anything, but I hate for you to throw around words like legend.
@reelgoodman mellow yellow is not even good and the rest I have never heard of, but am going to listen to to find out if any are "great", but I am very skeptical.
OH!!! the bugs ARENT REAL!

These lyrics are taken from a Bob Lind song called Go Ask your Man. The original is vastly better, in my view.

The songs themselves are amazing! But the echo-y of the album is a little hard to get used to.

Donovan is a legend and a master songwriter, so that is ok in my book.
