Are we better off believin'
What the ignorance suggests
I wish livin' life was easy (Mhm)
But mine has been a mess
They say it comes with the seasons (Mhm)
But the seasons come and go (They go)
I go blurry when I'm thinkin'
Is it me or vertigo?

Criticized
Who am I to give up?
Breathing what's the reason to let up
Sympathize
Who am I to give up?
Putting on my favorite record tonight

Are we alive?
Or are we dreamin'?
After the ride
Are you leavin'?
Are we alive? (Riding this, riding in this)
Are we dreamin'? (Riding this, riding in this)
After the ride
Are you leavin'? (Riding this, riding in this)

I've been better, I've been broken
I've been battered up and beat
I wish I was more outspoken
But the words are out of reach
Hmm, thought I loved you in the moment
I was happy, I was gone
I been learnin', I've been growin'
But the worst has yet to come

Criticized (Yeah)
Who am I to give up? (Who am I)
Breathing what's the reason to let up
Sympathize
Who am I to give up?
Puttin' on my favorite record tonight

Are we alive?
Or are we dreamin'?
After the ride
Are you leaving?
Are we alive? (Riding this, riding in this)
Are we dreamin'? (Riding this, riding in this)
After the ride
Are you leaving? (Riding this, riding in this)

(Who am I)

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been fallin' with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been fallin' with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been falling with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been, I've been, I've been

Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been fallin' with my
Eyes low, eyes low

seen the video for this? Beauty & Talent

I don't really know what "beauty and talent" you refer to! Helicopter aerial views or, just from various taller buildings in NYC, IMHO, does not constute beauty OR talent. The models employed in the video certainly represent beauty, without question! So, talent? Quick clips of said models in various locations, simply giving the camera a quick glance.... Doesn't take much talent!  Not knocking anything about the video, just the comment of "beauty and talent". Except for the models, all 3, don't see much beauty or talent.

Is this a Ford Mustang on the cover? 

No. I believe it's a 68 or 69 Cougar. But, the other reply, after a closer look, may be correct about the year and, it being a 'Stang. And, after Googling it, I stand corrected. It IS a '72 Mustang. 

From the start I thought it was gonna be Surfjan Stevens' Chicago

for a minute there I thought I was listening to commercial radio until I saw the RP page on my screen.

I thought this was a new Alt-J song!
This is exactly why I listen to (and support) RP and encourage others to do so.
I come to RP to listen to all kinds of music.  This includes classic rock favorites that I grew up with and it also includes decent contemporary popular music.  Keep it up Bill and Rebecca.
I don't listen to Hip Hop ( is just not my style).  but great tune and good lyrics .
Wow - first play, first comment.  Better make it a good one... Hmmm.  Kinda künstlich sound, but not bad.  I´m sure we´ll hear it again...
Great tune.
