I'm gonna take a stab at this,
sure you will be alright

Make a decision with a kiss
Baby I hold fast by it.

And when I trek alone back home
I need; shall I trek in the snow?

Tissue and bones; it was a trick
This is a knock on five

Checking it off my list
Honey look to rewrite.

Time is cast once; and far alone.
Hope I'm ready, able to make my own;
goodbye.

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

Their songs I hear here seem to have an almost-Bob Welch-era FMac type of fading in and out, a rhythm like breathing, & great sound.

Very interesting piece, qualities somehow remind of Pink Floyd's Fat Old Sun off Atom Heart Mother, 'long' ago and 'far' away. :)) Thank you Radio Paradise for including such fine art in your eclectic collection. :)

I just want to reply to myself that this song has really been growing on me and I now consider it one of the better songs on the album.

Unusual, at first I thought oh no another David Byrne song....but then when they started the reverb, I realized it wasn't him and really took notice.

Nice pick RP!

Definitely one of the most innovative new American bands.

I've been waiting for RP to pick up on Grizzly Bear and this is the first I've heard it here. By far not the best song from the new album but a good sampling. They are getting lots of press and festival exposure this summer. The music is a pleasure to listen to, fresh and infectious with all sorts of twists and turns. As Time magazine review stated in their review, the only thing missing is a little tension.

Thanks RP for turning us on to bands like this.  Think I'll plug XM's indi-rock station at this time.   Thank you for commercial-free and bias-free..........freedom.
