I've been away for far too long I've had my mind wrapped around this one song I heard last week on the radio while Driving near that place we used to go Where the track homes all look the same With the roofs and the tiles and the similar frames All these streets are so wide and these cars are so lame And on every block I heard the whisper of your name I spent so many evenings in my head I'd lie alone on an unmade bed Counting the minutes like numbered clocks Should I call, should I write, should I read, should I stop? I'm a child, I'm a ghost, I'm a slur, I'm a boast I'm a prince, I'm a king, I'm a ryhme, I'm a ring I'm unable to sleep, I'm unable to sing I'm a desperate and lonely, frightened, unholy thing And you'd say la la la I'm so glad I'm over you As you reach for your drink and you tell me you like my shoes And I smile like a wretch, there's not much else I can do I say I know what you mean, yeah it's weird for me too Besides what would I sing about if I had you?
In a word inundated with corporate pop, hip hop, auto tune, and so called "Rock" bands that all sound the same, Airborne Toxic Event is a god send. Wish more people would appropriate the true creative talent Mikel Jollett is.
Something like this, borne of pure genius gets 20,000 views, but complete garbage by Katy Perry gets views equivalent to the population of Europe. I think, for the most part, people are just content to wallow in their own base stupidity.
This song is so hauntingly beautiful. one of the most talented bands of all time! Their music is magic.
Anytime my soul feels heavy, this song manages to pull everything out of me. I don't think I've ever been so grateful for a song, or for so long.
its some kind of amazing magic.
I could use some of that magic tonight. God bless. And thanks, Mikel. Miss ya, Anna.
My favorite lyricist of all time
Me too!
besides, what would I sing about if i had you?
-favorite line
Haunting... me too.
The most romantic breakup song ever. The subtle way its worded. The music makes you sway and words make you cry. So beautiful.
55 comments for one of the most artistically written and performed songs of all time...it's such a shame more people do not appreciate this .
I think it's just many haven't discovered them yet
I completely get your point,this is typically beautiful and brilliant ❤
I think the “right” people are here, this song isn’t meant for the masses. It’s too precious.
The best interplay of viola and voice I have heard, and I love viola in Indy/country/rock. Anna makes the band's unique sound.
Man im stunned, you guys are so damn good. Your a really smart dude. I love what your doing.
I discovered this video recently and for some reason I am drawn back to it repeatedly. It's a lovely presentation!!!!!
Never heard this song before! It's incredible 😍
"I was always eager to love and eager to leave" ❤️
Great lyrics! Promise Ring reference totally took me by surprise! What a band!
I've been away for far too long
I've had my mind wrapped around this one song
I heard last week on the radio while
Driving near that place we used to go
Where the track homes all look the same
With the roofs and the tiles and the similar frames
All these streets are so wide and these cars are so lame
And on every block I heard the whisper of your name
I spent so many evenings in my head
I'd lie alone on an unmade bed
Counting the minutes like numbered clocks
Should I call, should I write, should I read, should I stop?
I'm a child, I'm a ghost, I'm a slur, I'm a boast
I'm a prince, I'm a king, I'm a ryhme, I'm a ring
I'm unable to sleep, I'm unable to sing
I'm a desperate and lonely, frightened, unholy thing
And you'd say la la la I'm so glad I'm over you
As you reach for your drink and you tell me you like my shoes
And I smile like a wretch, there's not much else I can do
I say I know what you mean, yeah it's weird for me too
Besides what would I sing about if I had you?
Anna's little smile at the end 😍
Such an awesome song.Violin is epic.
Absolutely Awesome,what a georgous melody of sounds
3/18/19 First time I heard this and it sounds great, that is a rarity, that's how great ATE is.
this is too beautiful to be allowed to exist
I love the Modest Mouse reference.
This band hits me right in the feels
