The Pet Sounds of the late 2000's. Haven't heard anything this good since then.
Greatest (oddly also most positive) break up song
I agree
Uhhhhgreed. Absolutely outstanding.
Not as lyrically genius as The Shins. But try listening to this young band: 2nd Grade. Although they lean more towards power pop. They have the same sunny indie pop vibe. Swelling with good hooks. Hope they burst out of the underground and come away even with just a tiny portion of The Shin’s success and recognition. Bands like these dont come more often as far as i’m aware.
This is the best song on a nearly flawless album. So powerful

A bitter break-up never sounded so beautuful
"So affections fade away, until adults just learn to play the most ridiculous, repulsive games."
“All our favorite ruddy sons, and their double barreled guns”
You’d better hurry rabbit. Run, run, run.
Marry someone good then
was going through your past comments and am listening to this song right now while reading this comment
You can fake it for a while
Bite your tongue and smile
Like every mother does her ugly child
But it starts to leaking out
Like spittle from a cloud
Amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound
You entertaining any doubts
'Cause you had to know that I was fond of you
Fond of why-O-you
Though I knew you masked your disdain
I can see the change was just too hard for us
Hard for us
You always had to hold the reins
But where I'm headed you just don't know the way
So affections fade away
And do adults just learn to play
The most ridiculous repulsive games
All our favorite ruddy sons
And their double-barreled guns
You better hurry
Rabbit run run run
'Cause mincing you is fun
And there's a lot of hungry hatters in this world
Set on taking it over
But brittle thorny stems
They break before they bend
And neither one of us is one of them
And the tears will never mend
?Cause you had it in for me so long ago
Boy I still don't know
I don't know why and I don't care
Well hardly anymore
If you'd only seen yourself hating me
Hating me
When I'd been so much more than fair
But then you'd have to lay those feelings bare
The one thing I know still got you scared
Yeah all that cold ire
And never once aired on a dare
You had to know that I was fond of you
Fond of why-O-you
So I took your licks at the time
A change like that is just so hard to do
Hard to do
Don't let it whip-crack your life
And I'll bow out from the fight
Those old pious sisters were right
The worst part is over
Now get back on that horse and ride.
Why would it be why-O-you? Is it not just Y-O-U? I might be wrong; I’m just assuming.
@@Foster_B You're probably right I'm guessing the first guy might have done it that way for phonetics
He says... you had to know that I was fond of you,
Fond of why oh you.. listen to the lyrics before and after and if you understand Mercer’s style it makes sense.
@@Foster_B The idea of him intending for the lyric to be understood as "WHY" o-u as both an "spelled out" emphasis on his lover and a lament (in hindsight, why you???) to the time he invested in her/him makes sense to me.
@@Foster_B oh i thought it was "my own you" as in, he was fond of the person he saw them as. how he perceived them vs who they really are.
Nobody writes lyrics like "The Shins" James Mercer and i mean Nobody!
Damn right about that
Aint that the truth!
Yup it is truley amazing
He's a master poet
Obviously if many like Tokio Hotel in its beginnings when I sang in German like forgotten children, it's not me, thay day, countless songs. Greetings
I'm late again!! Just discovered this and cant stop listening to it.
congratulations! never late... right on time good sir.
Same here
Better late than never. Welcome aboard, great tunes ahead! It was great 15 years ago and still holds up now.
A song that speaks for a whole generation.

Absolutely brilliant writing
Imagine Elton getting these lyrics off Bernie Taupin...😂
frankie villani
This song sounds like The Crystal Then He Kissed Me
Yes, and I always wondered if taken for a fool had inspiration from you didn’t have to be so nice by loving spoonful
mr steal yo girl me 😎 sorry jeff, not sorry
WTF
I haven’t heard this since middle school!!
No idea what they say, but behold the despair of my eldest youth. The vanishing of my childhood illusions. You have no idea how high and despondent I felt while listening to these songs.
