The Great Lake Swimmers capture the contradictions of feeling sadness in seeing the world as it is, feeling melancholy for what you have experienced, yet expressing hope for the future in the beautiful, definitive moments of the singing. I heard them live in the USA in October and they are as good live as on recordings.
i'm at a party and i asked am i retarded or is this the best music in the world, and the chick said you must be retarded....... i have to get out of this town
there is nothing more beautiful than feeling the full symphony of all your emotions at once, pain, beauty,heartache. this song leaves me with a meloncholy smile as my life is played on 8mm film in my head
Beautiful. We were so lucky to feature Great Lake Swimmers in our surf film, Out of Place.

Am I the only one who think to Alleluia, by Jeff Buckley, when I hear this song ?

wonderful orchestration. The whole setup reminds me in a way of mixture of Bob Dylan and Tindersticks, to be really profane....

I know exactly what you mean. Some of these fan vid's edited from home movies are incredibly moving.

Hey these guys are artists. I doubt money is as important to them as the expression of their art.
