The Past and Pending
as someone sets light to the first fire of autumn
we settle down to cut ourselves apart
cough and twitch from the news on your face
and some foreign candle burning in your eyes
held to the past too aware of the pending
chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale
enter the fog another low road descending
away from the cold lust your house and summertime
blind to the last curse of the fair pistols and countless eyes
a trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running
feed till the sun turns into wood dousing an ancient torch
loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love
your name on my cast and my notes on your stay
offer me little but doting on a crime
we’ve turned every stone and for all our inventions
in matters of love loss we’ve no recourse at all
#TheShins #ThePastandPending #OhInvertedWorld
This song makes me happy and sad, depressed but hopeful, nostalgic yet longing all at the same time
That’s a lot of stuff
Classic Shins
I agree.
Wisdom is holding hope and despair in one’s hands
I just found this song for the first time the other day and for some reason i feel the same.
I was born in 1961 which means I grew up listening to Beatles, Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Rolling Stones etc all through the vibrant 60’s, bizarre 70’s and 80’s and interesting 21st century and I can say that of all the music that I have listened to, all of it, the Shins have in my opinion authored and published the most beautiful,, affecting and profound music I have ever heard. Treasure.
1969 here. I agree. James Mercer is one of the most underrated songwriters of our time.
Yeah I see you didn't mention Pink Floyd, LZ, David Bowie, Queen, or the Who...
He didn't need too. All you have to say is the Beatles, from which every thing else descends
I love that
@@brookmcentire1328 I love them but lol stop
I just showed this to my dad and he said it made his day. He's been listening to the shins for 18 years. Love you dad :)
Damn your comment hit home! I've been listening to the Shins since I was 13.
Now I am nearly 31. Kudos from one father to another! Take care, Cat.
I listened to them and I’m over 60.
20 years ago was listening to this on the bus to school. still brings back the same feelings.
Oh god
20 years ago I was listening to this tending to a heart break. Still brings back the same feelings.
ME TOO, THIS WAS ON REPLAY, THESE DAYS WERE SO MUCH SIMPLER FOR ME...IT WAS 12 YEARS FOR ME WOW
Old-head here (1969). Didn’t discover them til 2012. Love the Beatles, Floyd, Beastie Boys… but The Shins hit me deep in the feels boi.
Bus rides to SubPop in the summer of 2002 interning there
gonna watch this at 240p for old times' sake
for that double hit of nostalgia
Me who has literally shitty network.
There's 144p for even older times sake
Authentically enjoyed
@@ankit99ize There is actual, physical turds on your network?
Much of this is filmed around Portland, Oregon. That beautiful bridge is the St John’s Bridge nicknamed the Cathedral Bridge and people are often getting married there in Cathedral Park. If you haven’t been there I highly recommend you visit. Especially in Autumn, but every season is lovely. St John’s used to be its own small town, but was incorporated into Portland and to this day (mostly because of location) it still feels like a separate town.
The first scene of the video is in North-Central Oregon I think, around route 97 maybe? I've driven it several times and that's what the first scene reminds me of.
Yep. I just found out that it was filmed in and around Dufur, Oregon. That first shot is of the historic Nelson House: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_E._Nelson_House
The only reason I listen to this song is because of the way Portland looks in this video. I moved to Stockholm because America was not it, but Portland is in my home and I miss it like you miss your first love.
When I pass away one day, I want humanity and AI to know that the Shins was ONE of my FAVORITE bands.✌️🎵🎶🌻🌼💐☺️💖
You guys really are one of the best music groups ever
SERIOUSLY I FEEL ALL OF YOU GUYS.
I love that I can finally listen to this song and feel zero pain in my heart.
I love that you can too :)
same, because i figure the guy that put this on a mix tape for me was a bigger a-hole than the a-hole i married.
I enjoy it with all the pain in my heart. Congrats though!
Woah good on you! Lots of pain but it's almost numbed by the wondrous beauty
Arguably one of the best songs of all time.
*"I think The Past and Pending is my favorite. I just feel like it's...I don't know, lyrically really strong & it's got an interesting melody & some interesting chord changes. It just works on me more than other songs do."*
*_James Mercer_* _on his favorite track from 'Oh, Inverted World' ; 10 years after its release_
I hated my teen years because of depression... but God and songs like this give me a bittersweet viewpoint of those days
I just love the French horn on this song!
I love how the two men, one younger, one older, drive wordless over the countryside, as if words are unnecessary between them and the mere presence of one another is enough. I love too, how the young man acts like a collector of memories, regathering them via a relic of a camera and silently sharing the captured images with the older man. It's a learning and a reclaiming of someone's past and a creation of another's.
Where has such art like this gone?
Why do I see little if not nothing of it anymore?
Such a beautiful song and by far my favorite from this album.
This video recalls memories of driving with my dad. He passed last year but I imagine that he's still there sometimes. Like you say, it would often be wordless, our bond enough to seal the moments. Love that The Shins capture that so magnificently, that respect for the past and what hasn't happened yet.
What makes The Shins so good is their lyrical prose and beautiful melodies. Lyrics these days are rarely as musically and verbally complex as The Shins.
Agree, James is a true poet.
A soundtrack to the many reflective and contemplational drives that everyone should take regularly throughout the course of their lives. Your older self riding passenger, relinquishing the helm to your inner youth to recollect as many of the mental pictures which shape your memories and feelings as possible. This is me.
I think it's time we all could use a new album from The Shins to heal our wounded souls.
These musicians don't get enough air time. I am 66 years old and they would play this variety of music back in the 70s & Early 80s. They are unique.
Oh, Inverted World is one of the best albums of all time.
If there's an afterlife, I look forward to discovering it again.
You would get sent to the hot place if you don’t have Jesus as Lord and Saviour
I desperately want to listen to this song when i’m 80 and just sit on my rocking chair with my husband on the porch. Just looking at the sunset in the middle of nowhere.
That is a worthy goal in my opinion. It encompasses so much more than your words.
I want to be your husband. hahaha. No, like really.
I believe this will happen. 🌅
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
Man this song hit hard. In high school when life felt so complex this album and others were the intimate feelings I needed.
I can’t imagine my life had this band existed during my first heartbreak.
oh, guess it’s time to go down my bi-annual Shins nostalgia hole again 💙
"bi-annual Shins nostalgia hole" is how i call my semesters
I know that hole very well.
Shins = nostalgia. Especially this song.
I’m there now. They’re coming to Seattle and I desperately want to go
Detailed
Thank god for "The Garden State". Introduced me to my favorite band.
Sheer genius. Poetry in motion. All that.
As someone sets light to the first fire of autumn
We settle down to cut ourselves apart
Cough and twitch from the news on your face
And some foreign candle burning in your eyes
Held to the past, too aware of the pending
Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale
Enter the fog another low road descending
Away from the cold lust, you house and summertime
Blind to the last cursed affair, pistols and countless eyes
A trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running
Feed 'til the sun turns into wood dousing an ancient torch
Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love
Your name on my cast and my notes on your stay
Offer me little but doting on a crime
We've turned every stone and for all our inventions
In matters of love loss, we've no recourse at all
Blind to the last cursed affair, pistols and countless eyes
A trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running
Feed 'til the sun turns into wood dousing an ancient torch
Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting
Lose yourself in lines dissecting
Lose yourself in lines dissecting
Lose yourself in lines dissecting
Lose yourself in lines dissecting
Lose yourself in lines dissecting
you house --> your house
Feed 'til the sun --> Feet to the sun (two places)
love loss --> love lost
Never knew this song had a music video. Somehow missed this one back in the day!
This is one of Heath Ledger's Favourite Song of All Time which also played in his Funeral.
One of my favorite bands to this day ❤
Be honest, who else likes this band and is also super into Wes Anderson films
AKA white people
@@alexanderboulton2123 …well, you’re not wrong
@@alexanderboulton2123 cliche comment
@@lotuseater7247 Balls
don't forget Zach Braff films too
Yebba brought me here. What a great song! Her cover is great too.
Stunningly gorgeous.
the horns at the end are so bittersweet. James Mercer is genius!
This is my favorite shins song ever ❤
Have I been under a stone all this time, this song is great!!
This video has a nice Wed Anderson feel. This is definitely my favorite song on Oh Inverted World Side 2.
This song is a GD masterpiece... causes a lot of good and bad flashbacks but it’s all reminiscent. Sad to see those times are gone but we must move on to better and brighter events. Beware of the negative but strive for positivity and peace.
Good luck exploring the infinite abyss everyone. These guys will change your life. ❤ Still sounding so good in 2021
I cry every time I hear this song. It's lovely
James Mercer is a National Treasure
If he and his band were Brits they'd been knighted a long ago already
Not sure about that but as a Brit I love this song!
A perfect song in every way. I never get tired of listening to it. Hits especially hard when the days start getting shorter.
Shins are so underrated I tell everyone I know about them
still one of the best songs i've ever heard
@theshins please continue to make songs.. dont stop. Earth needs to heal and your songs like this wouldbhelp
It’s crazy I have photos of that rusted boat in St John’s from 20 years ago
Something about this song. So bittersweet and special. I can't listen to it deeply enough or too many times.. and it never fails to make me cry. I like the Shins, but this album, in particular, is so unlike any of their other work.. so genuine and emotional. Grateful to have it in my system.
I love this song.
I have listened to this song a zillion times. Takes me back to a certain place and time. Such beautiful melancholy.
Genius.
On par with Neil Young’s Sugar Mountain -and that’s a helluva compliment
Everything is clear , the arrangement and sound is just sublime songs a masterpiece ✌️
So nostalgic, warm and familiar but hits like a new tune each time you hear it....
As a Liverpudlian, there is definitely a Liverpool type sound coming from this wonderful tune.
Check out The Magical World Of The Strands Album. The most beautiful album ever made that hardly any ones heard of. A Liverpool band that quite never made it big time but should of been massive. This song could of been on that album.
I recognize and have memories in a lot of those specific places. I think I saw Sauvie Island and Kelly Point in there.
I've driven by these exact spots when I lived in Washington. I like the association of driving an old man around sightseeing with recounting lost love. Thats what it feels like.
unmissable work of art
I heard Yebba sing this and didn't even know it was a cover. So glad I found this!
Beautiful and just.... Beautiful ❤️
This song brings me so many memories. I am soaking in nostalgia😭
Love the tone and feeling and still the most perfect voice ever. 🎼🎤🎶🎸
Amazing song, never seen this video, I'm glad y'all uploaded it!
Truly beautiful musically, lyrically, and visually. Always seems to give me a little peace of mind.
I love this video with this song so much, master piece
This song will be played at my funeral (too much info/dark?) - perfect mood with the right amount of wistfulness and serenity.
Love this one. Such a classic, song and video both!
Their *Masterpiece*
One of the great tracks on an album filled with them.
Great 2 hear this again. Thanks, guys
The perfect notification to wake up to on a Monday morning 🌄🤙
This was nostalgic to me when I first listened to it, now I feel nostalgia for that first time.
The narrows bridge has been updated since this video was filmed. Cool seeing it how it was 20 years ago!
That's actually St. Johns Bridge in Portland Oregon
Dang this was a sweet gift
I love love love this track what melody, favorite driving music
what a beautiful song and video
I love this music video, just so well done
A classic.
I learned how to play this song all the way through when I was 15 or so. Now it's locked in my heart forevaaaar.
Gotta love The Shins.

I love this song
I so miss you and wish you would play again - beautiful song and video
haunting, i may buy tix for the philly show, love you guys after 20 years!!
The Shins truly tethered me to the ground and offered me comfort within escapism through some of my darkest times. Will never not be forever grateful I came across this band several years ago. 🧎🫡
This brings back memories.
I've taken packfilm polaroid shots at a few of these locations. The Shins giving all the feels.
