[RugbyDemon6789]

his heart was aching pleasently when he wrote this song..... i know....

[nedzeco]

When I listen to the Shins....I swear Mercer has an accent. Does he?

[TheWarhammerfreak]

@nedzeco nope he be amurican

[allibear95]

james mercer is my uncle!!!!

(:

[lambyiii]

@allibear95 is he really ?

[totesmagotes22]

there is something mystical about this song in a very good way

it should be on the soundtrack for the 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' movie.

[quicklern818]

Reminds me of summertime in a ghost town resort

[lillynealknabb]

James Mercer can do no wrong.

[BENGTPAPPA]

This album is great. But I believe that the second track "one by one all day" isn´t good. Its kinda ruening the album. What do you think about that particular song???

[BENGTPAPPA]

This song is amazing, its filling your body with endorfines and tranquillaty. Great. I just played fotball and now tired as hell I am lying hear and listening to this song. Its a miracle if I make it and write down this comment before I go to sleep

[ijurcough]

@BENGTPAPPA Yeah, congratulations.

[BENGTPAPPA]

@ijurcough  :D!

[ijurcough]

@BENGTPAPPA Your mother.

[BENGTPAPPA]

@ijurcough

What about her?

[BENGTPAPPA]

@ijurcough

Your mothers fathers mother which I fist while your mothers father masturbate to it

[ijurcough]

@BENGTPAPPA You have horrible grammar. Stop trying to speak / type / write / and learn English. Do something you're good at, like, roflcoptering your dad.

[BENGTPAPPA]

@ijurcough

Haha, I now see that it was horribly written by me. Still I am not American or brittish

[ijurcough]

@BENGTPAPPA It's getting a little better... but you should still stop trying with the English. It's a bit over your head. Revert back to your native language.

[JenHOOKAH]

@BENGTPAPPA lmfao hmmmm. what a bothering yet hilarious comment to come across! 

[jadplaya]

im usually into underground hip hop,neo soul and dubstep but this song makes me feel like im bck on vacation in san fran skateboarding again

[SuperiorSwagon1]

@jadplaya Look up "Theatre of Life" i think you were in one of those lol.

[musicftw783]

The Shins <333

[playerpianette]

this song is just really chill

[littleboeep]

Best album ever every song is good!

[sheplaysguitar2]

this song.. and all of the shins' music really, is amazing.

sober.

i can understand why people would listen while high, but seriously this song doesn't need the influence of drugs. when i listen to it i feel something supernatural and perfect. and i'm completely sober. i think it's magical and amazing that music can convey that feeling without the influence of any substance.

[willowulf]

The Shins just opened a whole new world for me, they have made the top list of my favorite artists.

[dbone024]

81-0! I think we've got a real contender here!

[Smileyfacedkiller]

Wow, I just started to listen to the songs on this album and I feel like I feel like I am in love. I am so high and this is the perfect music for me right now.

[hellohorcrux]

I feel like every time I hear a new song by these kids, I know all the lyrics.

[Chikagba]

love that wierd guiatr part. It makes me smile.

[mchloel]

friggin A

[Marijuanaman69]

shut up

[MsCellolad]

@Marijuanaman69

lol

[itworkss]

good song

[0Sheet0]

You all should really be discussing the song- not weed.

But weed is psychologically addictive in the sense that anything fun is worth endlessly repeating.

So you all need to relax, take a hit, and talk about the SONG.

[QuePasaMantooth]

Sometimes I feel like The Shins are writing songs about my life... I could honestly liken the majority of their songs to some little anecdote from my high school love life.

[iloverockyroad1]

so drunk, so cool

[ninestraycats]

the highlight of the album

[gvilleskate34]

Shins without weed = The shit, Shins with weed = THE SHIT! I'm stooned :)

[JP5109]

Yes. Yes. This is the best song ever. I feel like eating... A LOT.

[NolanHartmann]

It's like I'm in a hammock in Hawaii. :)

[Steezeh]

I don't smoke weed and I probably won't ever...I'm 16 years old. Allllll of my friends toke it up, they do it whether I'm around them or not. Seeing how weed affects people, I don't really see why it's illegal. I mean, you seem to have full control of yourself. I think this should speak for myself and all other people that don't smoke: leave it up to them if they want to smoke, they aren't harming anyone or themselves. It's just a plant with no bad affects.

[VenusInCancer]

@Steezeh try it. its like skydiving, it's badass.

[DtoWnSux1]

@VenusInCancer not really lol it gets old and it can get you a big fine or jail time lol not really worth it imo.

[VenusInCancer]

@DtoWnSux1 over here in california possession of under an ounce of weed is decriminalized and It is now an infraction like a traffic ticket with no jail! though i dont really smoke anymore i think everyone should smoke at least once in their life, and from what i seen it really is too short so live it up!

[DtoWnSux1]

@VenusInCancer i went through that phase when i was. eh 13-17. its a phase and its childish. it slows you down in reality, just not fun or worth the dutch its rolled in

[Hedgehogs4Me]

I think it's funny that almost every song I like has comments on it saying "smoke weed every day" or something to that effect. I'm not really for or against (although I don't smoke it, personally), but it is kinda sad that some people can't appreciate creative music without it.

Great song, btw.

[iamloganhearmeroar]

marijauna makes this band sooo good! 420!!!

[TeeaToxicated]

I just can't get of enough of these guys.

[SamStansel]

This song reminds me of summer. Not totally sure why

[cbass5511]

I cant stop scratching my balls and smelling my finger.

[MalachiteR]

@cbass5511 Oh man story of my life.

[Steezeh]

@cbass5511 what the fuck hahahaha

[doggydog643]

jesus people....get a life....nothing wrong with pot but find something interesting to chat about

[Alpinex105]

@doggydog643 Tar? Substance abuse?

[RachelleWynne]

smoke weed everyday.

[philhellmouth]

this song always reminded me of blur

[whoaitsconner]

True that.

[airhead0101]

@ xxgg55: You are correct, it is psychologically addictive. I have smoked canna for just over 10 years now and at one point i was smoking it because of the lack of interesting things to do in my life. I had the choice of sit around and go mad with boredom or smoke up some pot and get right into washing the dishes :-). I now have more to do; I'm going to college, i excersise everyday, i eat well, i have a better social life etc.... I still smoke pot but because I have found more things to do....

[airhead0101]

I never said i think i am 'chained' to smoking pot, i can take it or leave it, i'm not bothered whether i have some or not.

I already admitted that it can be psychologically addictive, some people really do smoke for the wrong reasons and need to quit or drastically change their lifestyle, the same way some drinkers drink for the wrong reasons and take it too far (i'm not comparing pot to alcohol though).

WEED IS NOT HARMLESS and i never said it was. IT ISN'T DANGEROUS EITHER....

[cbass5511]

Yea Im the same way but I can tell you right now its ganna stay with me untill the day I die.

[hXcemoyuahh]

its not psychologically addictive persay

Its a means of filling an existential chasm

its like saying that killing and dissecting people or even masturbating are psychologically addicting, its more of a means for people to feel good and expresses certain emotions and therefore healthy while at the same time susceptible to abuse and dependence

[airhead0101]

......I don't feel the need to get high just because i have nothing better to do. I really enjoy getting high and i will never stop smoking weed. There are a lot of drugs to take that are really bad (as in: alcohol, tobacco, legal pharmaceuticals etc) and out of the choices out there i believe i have chosen one of the most harmless substances know to mankind.

[montykoolaid]

So is masturbating.

[shannonngaffney]

its got that psychedelic touch to it, i really love it. i can float

[shannonngaffney]

jmaths117<3

[jmaths117]

the shins are the best music to smoke up to, period...maybe dave matthews + tim reynolds tie them.

[Livfor1Love]

disgusting.. Can't you just enjoy the song without getting high to it? You all disgust me

[jmaths117]

U MAD.

can't you just enjoy your life without judging people and acting like a dick all the time? you disgust me. get owned bitch.

[Livfor1Love]

Well if that's the way you want to live your life then I'm glad that I disgust you. I take pride in that I'm not some slave to addictive substances and can therefore enjoy my life. AND actually put together coherent sentences. (U MAD ????)

[jmaths117]

So you're one of those brainwashed retards who think weed is some kind of devil drug that destroys lives. I enjoy my life just fine...except I'm not a pussy who is afraid of a harmless plant, and from time to time indulge in cannabis to enhance life.

So yea. You're just a mad little bitch. :D

[Livfor1Love]

If you want to go around stinking up the world with your "harmless drug" that causes murders and such than just think about how retarded you are being, literally. In fact you are actually stupifying yourself. If you need some weed to "enhance your life" than maybe I can actually feel bad for you. You're so pathetic that you indulge with drugs to get a little happy. I enjoy my life just fine, without the extra help you seem to view as so vital.

[jmaths117]

causes murders and such? Are you being serious or are you just jerking me around? I find it hard to believe youre THAT dumb. I mean goddamn. Youre a f*cking dolt.

And if youre so brainwashed that you cant think outside of your retarded little world, and believe everything Mrs. Lipshidt in 3rd grade told you, then I honestly pity you. Youre so pathetic that if someone doesnt fit into your delusional worldview, you feel the need to judge them. YOU MAD.

[Livfor1Love]

Well considering that in most areas drugs are illegal, I think that most people agree with my "delususional" ideals. And yes, drugs do center around crime you idiot. That's why they're illegal. Maybe you're one of those hicks that grows their own weed but drug trafficing ruins peoples' lives.  Even just smoking your own stuff, you're adding to the problem. If drugs didn't affect anyone but the user than I would still be disgusted but fine, ruin your life. But they affect others

[jmaths117]

Over 80 million Americans have smoked pot in their lives...and plenty of people who don't smoke agree that there is no reason why pot should be illegal. Rational people disagree with your delusional ideals. And do you know WHY drugs center around crime? Because drugs are CRIMINALIZED. Look at the prohibition of alcohol...look at all the crime that created. It turned out to be a bigger problem than the drug itself. That's what people like you don't realize...weed prohibition is no different.

[airhead0101]

@Livfor1Love: If pot was legalised there would be no negative impact on society. A lot of crime is associated with marijuana but that is only because it is illegal. If we all could buy legal weed that was cheaper and of higher quality than what our black market cousins are selling there would be no crime associated with it at all. People would buy the legal stuff instead, making the illegal dealers out of business. You need to do some research b4 you spout your narrow minded opinions.

[Livfor1Love]

Yes yes I certainly have heard it all. Do you know how much junk I get for actually having a legal minded opinion in this country? Obviously not. You obviously aren't going to stop rotting your brains and I'm not going to stop realizing how retarded that is. Okay?

[airhead0101]

It's not really OK because your opinion is wrong, pot is well known (to scientists who aren't on government payroll) to repair damaged brain cells. My own IQ rating has risen steadily for the past decade and i have smoked a lot of ganja over those years. Maybe you say it rots brain cells because of innaccurate info from the media, idk, but please educate yourself using reliable sources of information.

Most of us would like to stay within the law, that is why it should be legalised.

[airhead0101]

Oh and by the way, i like your taste in music, but.... A lot of the bands you like have been influenced by ganja at some point...food for thought!!!?

[Livfor1Love]

Yeah I know. I mean Muse is my second favorite band and they get high on mushrooms everytime they record a track. I still like them though. That being said-I still value that I don't get high or drink. I dont need to to be happy. Just a question-doesn't getting high freak you out? The whole idea of being sorta out of control of yourself is scary. And I don't get why youd be okay being addicted to something. Having something control your life like that sounds like hell to me.

[airhead0101]

I don't need to be happy either, i like to experience all sides of life and i am not always happy when i am high, for example i can be reflective or relaxed or able to think about things more deeply and without a biased point of view.

Getting high doesn't freak me out at all, i am in full control of myself unless i'm REALLY high, but then i don't act like an idiot either and i usually am very aware of what i am doing. I wouldn't say i am addicted to it, whether i have some or not, i don't sweat.

[jethrotull78]

great to toke up to

[gutt45678]

so so true.

[logicalargumentz]

i smoke 2 this

[dk2100evolve]

nice, i just may myself...

[patrickcharleton]

Syd Barrettish!

[ehehm]

yeah, kinda! don't think i would've noticed that myself though, but you're right. when the harmony vocals go up and down.. ahh

[jethrotull78]

my thoughts exactly

[Viboraviboradelamar]

i know I'm gonna catch some stones, but this is way better than old Mr. Barret.

[sevi823]

i absolutely love this song, i really don't know why. . . it makes me feel like im floating or something haha

[Fraziig]

@sevi823

Yeah this song was made on drugs

[ajmlx9]

The folk-guitar sounding thing(?) between verses is awesome

[Olivegal55]

yeah. reminds me of "A horse with no name"

[prawnbutterfly]

i love the psychdelic feel to it.I'm so high just listening to it.

[eclecticbgirl]

p.s- this is one of my fav songs

[eclecticbgirl]
