The Dear Hunter - His Hands Matched His Tongue

Artist: The Dear Hunter
Song: His Hands Matched His Tongue
Album: Act I.: The Lake South, The River North
Lyrics:
A long walk home, riddled with regret
Uncommonly comfortable, but still I believe
That in time I think I'll see just what's been weighing down on me
An unearthy void collapsed, exposing what was trapped
To release this serendipitous discern

The smell of smoke, the evening sky was proof
Belated conversation saturate anticipation for the answers that simply won't come

But not I, I won't ask
Forget my place amongst the grass
The leaves and the trees remember me
ANd in my naivety it might be seen
the pale has leaks and even if
you put all your water into it
you end up with nothing left to drink
The well has gone dry and I with it

Oh, someday she'll be gone (x4)

(We'll still have a song to sing)

Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake

This is amazing. I don't understand. Why is this kind of music so hard to find and Justin Bieber/Lady Gaga so easy to find? D:

it's amazing

Just saw them play at the Beacham Theatre a few hrs ago... and tonight is the first time I've heard them play this song live. Beautiful.

@xBathypelagicx Still. They only have like one song or something and even that's hardly great.

[Menegoth]

@xBathypelagicx Really? Foster The People? I like them too but c'mon, you can't just compare the artistic complexity of TDH to that of another Indie Pop band.

bien :)

@chipset49 Well, you're wrong. You're just being a typical pretentious douche who thinks he's so unique and so much better than "the masses" simply because he listen to something other than pop music. You're not a precious little snowflake.

[chipset49]

@Menegoth - They're backed by a much bigger label for a reason - because the masses will follow what they're fed. Hence, there are major labels to do the feeding. The mindless fans have to be there for there to be "shitloads of PR managers". The Dear Hunter (for sake of example) can't be fed to the masses because the music is too complex for them to understand - and this is MY opinion.

[Menegoth]

@chipset49 The reason Gaga and Bieber have more fans is obviously because they're backed by a much bigger label and shitloads of PR managers. It has nothing to do with the complexity of the music nor the intelligence of the fans.

@Menegoth - The question was: "Why is this kind of music so hard to find and Justin Bieber/Lady Gaga so easy to find?" Your response: "If I had to venture a guess, it's because Justin Bieber and Lady GaGa have many, many more fans than The Dear Hunter?" That doesn't answer the question. Why do Justin Bieber and Lady GaGa (and anything else that's on MTV, Fuse, popular radio, etc) have more fans? See my response above. And to respond to getting over myself - I'm working on it.

[Menegoth]

@chipset49 Holy shit get over yourself already.
