All The Umbrellas In London - The Magnetic Fields

[mnm2125]

someone actually disliked this? Gotta be a Justin Beiber fan

[SweetMisirie]

Sad songs usually make me more depressed, but the magnetic fields just make me think: "at least someone else has lived through this misery."

[vootie99]

bought the album years ago

[Kralex]

This song makes me want to kill myself...

[jbrodu]

@Kralex me too and yet i keep listening to it. this is a bad song to listen to when you're depressed.

[Maxdg1013]

I have to say.

What kind of discussion is this?

We should be discussing the (awesome) music.

[TheMastakilla4201]

Czech guy you are awesome. I live in america. It sucks ass! Everyone hates each other! Fuck this place. Lol

[bon1931]

you are intellectually (or psychologically) incapable of addressing my substantive points. Also, you are grievously ignorant of American culture and (it appears European history). If you had grasped my last point, then you would realize that it makes no sense to attempt to place me in the position of having to defend wholesale American foreign policy and all iterations of its culture. That is not a burden anyone should have to bear. The locus of moral responsibility is the individual.

[ldhmnh]

Great stuff... Get Lost is an incredible album...

[Belljargrrrl]

One of my favorites. Such an amazing band!

Azar - All the umbrellas in london (Remix)

[mrmrscosanostra]

the greatest living writer of lyrics.

[violetichigo1999]

"I drive around. I walk around in circles 'cause I've got no sense of direction. I guess I've got no sense at all."

The most relatable lyrics I've found in the 10:00 PM time frame.

[isolationeitheror]

"ive been trying to give myself reasons to live but i really cant think of one thing"......perfect...

[MediAndClaire]

@isolationeitheror ken,eh.

[benpadiah]

this is the best song that was ever written by anyone: Love. - Jon

[peperoloco]

WHAT IS THEIR FROM /COUNTRY?

[Kapowo]

They're from the United States.

[MurderedByMidgets]

@peperoloco

what is their from?

[martiparti95]

@MurderedByMidgets It confused me too don't worry.

[bon1931]

@peperoloco

That they're from the U.S. doesn't jibe with their stereotypic perception of Americans as literal-minded, unimaginative dullards.

So all you Europeans that would bend us to your self-serving stereotypic image (the one that makes the dull, ugly, bigoted, American your counterfoil), either stop voraciously consuming our cultural products (make something yourselves instead of resting on your laurels) or stop treating us to your hypocritical contempt.

[CzechDetectingChap]

@bon1931 Well, the Europeans (myself included) don't have tent cities, the KKK, George Bush or endless wars for oil and money, should we do something about that?

[bon1931]

@CzechDetectingChap

I suggest you study 20th century European history. You will find near-contemporary and contemporary (i.e., 21st century) analogues to all of the above.

Best,

Bon

[CzechDetectingChap]

@bon1931 well, I don't see MY president signing the Partiot Act order again (hope and change my arse). How's that bankrupt crumbling sinking ship of an empire these days? You still with us? My my, war number three starting in Lybia already? I guess now that Afghanistan and Iraq have been subdued you can start another game in Northern Africa. You guys once had a great thing going but spoiled it through sloth, greed, religious wackery and corruption. Your 80s TV wasn't half bad I'll give you that.

[bon1931]

(this would include denigrating other cultures or nationalities by appeal to crude stereotypes); or (2) political interests concerned to divert attention away from problems on the domestic front. I do not endorse the foreign policy program of George W. Bush. I never voted for him, nor did anyone I know (living in the Northeast U.S.).

[bon1931]

@CzechDetectingChap

I recommed traveling outside of your native country, You sill discover that imputing properties (e.g., greed, sloth, war-mongering) wholesale to a population is an inductive fallacy.Usually, it is a fallacy peddled by (1) those who, having accomplished little as individuals and so feel compelled to appeal to putative 'national or ancestral' prestige in order to buoy their self-esteem

[CzechDetectingChap]

@bon1931 Goodbye America, nice to have known you. Thanks for ALF, peanut butter M+Ms and the electric guitar. No thanks for atomic weapons, Guantanamo Bay, Wall Street nor the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" series.

[Krauto83]

@CzechDetectingChap We have many sorts of mob spread throughout Europe, we've had nazism and all the other kinds of fascism, Southern Italy (i live there) has got plenty of poor cities, with rubbish in the streets, and people living in tents. Europe is not such a happy place, considering that everywhere in the continent there are new fascist and nazi parties forming and promulgating the same ideals as they used to decades ago.
