One, two, three, four
Na, na
Na, na
The moon is out
And shadows crawl
They'd find me hiding in the basement
Well, I've heard the tale
Of a great white whale
I can't get my legs to go and chase it
Na, na
Na, na
Now the money's gone
But the dream lives on
Guess I'll keep slaving at the game show
Spin the wheel
Aw, but nothing's real (nothing is real)
Answer the answer with a question
And it's wild, isn't it?
How we all just jive with it
In this hazy maze we made
And the time's spilling
While we fake our fine living
In this season of charade
Na, na
Na, na
A wizard out in Malibu
I saw him selling inspiration
Well, I bought the book
Read every page
But couldn't find a revelation
And it's wild, isn't it?
How we all just jive with it
In this hazy maze we made
And the time's spinning
While we fake our fine living
In this season of charade
Na, na, na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na, na, na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Well, the sun's grinning
Watching all of our tires spinning
In this hazy maze we made
While the time's spilling
I keep on hoping the lights are dimming
On this season of charade

Dunno. Think if I was a in a band and everyone said we reminded them of the Beatles, I'd be quite happy with that...

1. Definite George Harrison feel to the melody.

2. Read the lyrics... they're spot on (and depressing once you think about it). The vocal delivery /melody is questionable in that it doesn't quite match the gravity of the lyrics. Or maybe that was done on purpose?

Lyrics for me are the highlight of the song versus the melody, as others have noted it's kind of a Beatles/Harrison rip-off.



I agree. The lyrics are really really good, and relevant. The band name is a nod to respect of nature in religion, which also lends a note of gravity to the whole vibe of this song. Maybe we need a Johnny Cash cover? Anyway this band is yet another RP find, and I'll be listening for more of them.

I hear the Beatles. Something from the White Album onwards.

This tune gives me "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" vibes...

That's some damn fine singing! As others have noted, it bears many beloved similarities. Right off, it caused me to think of James Mercer and The Shins, and of course, for me, that alone can make me a fan! The more I hear this, the more I think they are onto something big; dig!. Thanks, RP, for a new ear-buzz with that "familiar" feel!

Another enjoyable listen from a band Iā€™d never find on my own. Thanks RP.

Obviously big Beatles influence but for a more modern comparison I'm going with Dr. Dog.

Very Oasis ('All Around The World') hence by inference very Beatles as many have said! Not a bad thing though! šŸ‘

A very George Harrison Beatles vibe.
