  • Great stuff! Just curious as to exactly where this came from. Is it a TV programme on the BBC? If so, which one and did they perform any other new songs on it?

  • @DanHungerford5

    This song came from the radio show BBC6. Robin Pecknold was interviewed and he played this song afterwards. They also play this song at gigs, absolutely amazing live.

  • Been looking for this song everywhere since i heard them play it on Saturday!!

    Thank You!! :) :)

  • no problemo

    heard it yesterday at their gig in amsterdam

    incredible song

  • Bleak, honest, beautiful. I have a real affinity with Robin, musical and reclusive, somewhat my idol in a non fanatical, bat shit insane kind of way.

  • Brilliant. Can't wait for the new album.

  • reminds me of a gospel song

  • what a great picture

  • Love this version, probably more than the album version. More soul.

  • I don't want to meet the person that 'disliked' this video.

  • @KittyLightpaws Thank you so much for this information, I love Carl Sagan too, what an awesome inspiration.

  • @stylofone @penguinsReatingmybra I also realised that Robin may be talking about hearing Carl Sagan on the radio, which would influence him to write this inspired peice of art. That's my official guess. :P

  • @stylofone Posted elsewhere by @Shane98c, he stated that this song is based on Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot. After listening to this lesson elsewhere on YouTube, I see how deeply related these two works of art are related. Share the knowledge! (And give credit where credit is due. :)

  • @penguinsReatingmybra I read on facebook Robin IS talking about someone specific in that line- but he won't say who. So it remains a mystery, but that's cool too.

  • @stylofone its about the awe and purpose of the earth and the universe, but the verse about the radio I have been trying to figure out too.
