What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Another of my end of year purchases. Bought this after seeing them on one of the late-nights. Thought the performance was superb, even captivating. Included that clip in track 6. Another of those superb performances in the clip of track 1. Some real nice chemistry in this band on stage I think. Not my normal buying habit, to buy after only hearing 1 track, but at times I step out. The entire album doesn't live up to that performance, but still a couple of other great tracks on here. Then there's 3 tracks that bombed for me. Which leaves us with a nice round 2.0 on the Hickster scale. That score is gonna grow fast. This is the groups debut full length album, and there's some nice potential there for me. Album came out in 2009, and just made it my ears. Always stuff to find. The album made it to #76 here in the states and a #86 in Australia. Side note: Edward Sharpe is a fictional character created by band founder Alex Ebert. I don't know. Not sure what the guy was on. Check out the clip for track #2 from a radio station appearance. That's charisma, folks, like the song or not. One other thing on the clip for track #6. If them guys ain't married, they should be after that. Whew!

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Om Nashi Me

Best Track - Home


Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa
Not the way that I do love you
Holy roly, me, oh my, you’re the apple of my eye
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you
Man, oh man, you’re my best friend, I scream it to the nothingness
There ain’t nothin’ that I need
Well, hot & heavy, pumpkin pie, chocolate candy, Jesus Christ
There ain’t nothin’ please me more than you
Chorus:
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
(2x)
La la la la, take me Home
Baby, I’m coming Home
I’ll follow you into the park, through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you
Moats & boats & waterfalls, alley ways & pay phone calls
I’ve been everywhere with you
That’s true
We laugh until we think we’ll die, barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you
And in the sticks we’re running free like it’s only you and me
Geez, you’re something to see.
Chorus
“Jade?”
“Alexander?”
“Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?”
“I sure do, you came jumping out after me.”
“Well, you fell on the concrete and nearly broke your ass and you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital. Do you remember that?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Well, there’s something I never told you about that night.”
“What didn’t you tell me?”
“While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was going to be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you and I never told you ‘til just now.”
“Now I know.”
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is whenever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is when I’m alone with you
Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Yes, I am Home
Home is when I’m alone with you.
Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa
Moats & boats & waterfalls & pay phone calls
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is when I’m alone with you
