[javierparrillada]

I think it's very Led Zeppelin,sounds like Robert Plant

[dojalvo]

You'll always eat bread if you always have seeds to sow

LIke old Zen Ben who lived with a murder of crows

He wore a crown of beans

And a belt of weeds

Slept alone in the warm wet fields on a bed of mustard seed

You won't lose the beat if you just keep clapping your hands

Like sweet sweet Pete who clapped for the Ruminant Band

He had a broken lung

And a bit-off tongue

Lived alone in the warm wet fields under moon and sun

[MrDrBalls]

I love this song. I get a Supertramp/Zeppelin/Wings vibe, and yet it has an original, fresh sound. Great band!

[potchoker]

Nearly Seventy-One thousand views ... So terrible for such a song with high caliber.

This is a cool video. The song's lyrics and rhythm is so nice to listen to. The vocalist's voice also is so unique. Kudos!

[Chazzybeans]

I don't understand why this song isn't in everybody's life ever.

[ahbawakawa]

There's a band that reminds me a lot of The Fruit Bats called Green Plastic Whistle on SoundCloud. AND they have 2 albums to download for free! Got to love free music!

First heard this on Tap Tap Revenge. (And I liked it. S'why I'm here.)

[Envee211]

This is a good song, but I'll be damned if that chorus chord progression doesn't sound almost exactly like Forever my Friend by Ray LaMontagne. Most likely coincidence

[deadendguitarist]

My uncle filled in for the fruit bats on tour once
