Finally I don't mind
Worthless tries at finding something else
Best not talk too loud
You're not as smart as you require of them

Your body breaks
Your needs consume you forever
And with this lies
The need to be here together

Funny thing with blood
You try to stand but neither leg's awake
Just this side of love
Is where you'll find the confidence not to continue

Your body breaks
Your needs consume you forever
And with this lies
The need to be here together

It's worth the time to check out Doug (and insert rotating band members here) perform.  In a lot of intimate venues these days.   Magician with the guitar.  Unpretentious brilliance.   
rarely played and I love this band
Four minutes of meandering guitar bliss. Thanks RP.
Nice song! One of the best live shows I've ever seen was Built to Spill, and I love the doses I get of them here on this tasty stream...

And a sprinkling of the Beatle magic ever hurt who? What fab fan hasn't had their heart lifted by a homage or roman a clef bursting through here and there? Over 50 years later, I call that a win. Great BTS song with a lovely Beatley bit. I'm English, grew up with them and am always glad to hear their influence. Oh and can we restart using fab again? They was fab and everyone knows at least one song they like. They are mine and I love them for the hours, weeks, listening to them over and over dancing singing, an album at a time. Happy days. 
Lets all be safe still everyone.
Let kindness be your guide in these crazy daze. Love from the isolation room, East Coast of England. 
Nice stuff Bill. More.

RP has a habit of doing that
The perfect 3 rating song... Ho hum
Death Cab for Beatles?
Totally AGREE!

Just came in after a snootfull - well, it is Christmas Season - and was greeted with this - hits the sweet spot indeed.
thought I heard a little early Modest Mouse in there too.

Bravo!!  Score one for RP!   {#Clap}

Everybody in my churches loves this song...

RP does it again - a band I've never heard of that I really should have.

Rock on!

This song is good for the ears...

 
I like this band a lot.  You In Reverse is an amazing album.
Quite good.
