You heard my voice I came out of the woods by choice
Shelter also gave their shade
But in the dark I have no name

So leave that click in my head
And I will remember the words that you said
Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart
But I am sure we could see a new start

So when your hopes on fire
But you know your desire
Don't hold a glass over the flame
Don't let your heart grow cold
I will call you by name
I will share your road

Hold me fast, Hold me fast
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
Hold me fast, Hold me fast
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

I wrestled long with my youth
We tried so hard to live in the truth
But do not tell me all is fine
When I lose my head, I lose my spine

So leave that click in my head
And I won't remember the words that you said
You brought me out from the cold
Now, how I long, how I long to grow old

So when your hope's on fire
But you know your desire
Don't hold a glass over the flame
Don't let your heart grow cold
I will call you by name
I will share your road

Hold me fast, Hold me fast
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
Hold me fast, Hold me fast
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under
I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under
The skies I'm under

Last couple of days, I've been checking the rating on songs and trying to draw some statistical conclusions.  Seems almost every song I noticed was rated between 7 and 8 -- with a few exceptions that fell at 6.8 or 8.2 for example. 

Interesting that this rates 5.5.  Also interesting that it only has 110 ratings, quite low for any song on RP older than six months.

Bill and Rebecca are gonna play whatever they want, and I don't want them to change whatever magic formula they use to program this marvelous website.  RP has introduced me to far more music than any other source I can remember.

They are popular because they are good.  RP played them all the time before anyone had ever heard of them.  I bought their CD before they were popular so I discovered them, basically.  {#Lol}

They were on "Later ..." with Jools Holland. I was all ready for some good music. Was sorely disappointed. Just annoying. And like someone else said, each song sounded the same.

All their other songs sounds the same.  This one stands out for me because it's different than the rest.

Blarg. It seems too emotional for its own good. Like Hothouse Flowers meets Bright Eyes.

First time I heard them, I actually thought they were from Nashville.

That is an interesting concept. However, just strip out the banjos from the Mumfords and you are left with a Nu-folk band without a core folk instrument wailing on exactly the same, track after track, album after album. 

Coldplay on the other hand. . .

I can't wait for this band to go away.

Justin Bieber gives more variety from song to song.

I'm becoming more convinced with each song I hear from this group that they are a parody, like Spinal Tap or the Folksmen.

Has anyone seen Christopher Guest lately? 
Posted 11 years ago by nagsheadlocal    [ Reply ]

Not their best new song, which is frankly speaking "much more of the same".

More M&S? Is this some kind of sick joke?
