So backspacer is and always fine with me.

Next time I cried was sirens.

So they're dojng good at making me fell stuff id rather not and proud to be a fan at the same time
Very well said. Sirens had a more profound impact on me than any art ever has. More profound than anything non living ever has. More profound than anything non human.
I'm choosing to convince myself that you guys are engaging in some light-hearted trolling.

I'm being manipulated. It's like I'm having my first gay sexual experience. There are tears and everything. Fucking hell.
Last night I felt this same way listening to the song and simultaneously watching the reveal of "mother" on season 8 of How I Met Your Mother for the first time... I know what girls feel like now watching that stuff. And.it's.weird.

I don't know what to think of myself right now.

I'm guessing he meant "just listened to Sleight of Hand to the Sirens video"?

Hmm, so Sirens-Sleight of Hand is PJ's Wizard of Oz meets Dark Side of the Moon? :shock:

This. What we have heard so far is what they have been *trying* to achieve the last few albums and actually doing it.

UK/LB
Got Some/Getaway
Big Wave/LTRP
Come Back/Sirens
Force Of Nature/Amongst The Waves/Swallowed Whole

Except...the new ones are all better. Much Better.

Ugh, yes I meant I listened to Sleight of Hand while watching the Sirens video. It went together really well, it was awesome. And I only did it cause SoH came on my Ipod randomly, it just worked.

Betterman (live). Now that Ed's made peace with the commercial appeal of his music. Plus BOB will tell them to.

Sorry if this has already been posted - I can't bear to actually read the thread.

Sirens....

So... i dug 4 of the 5 songs prior to Sirens, but sadly I have to say that musically it's one of their most generic songs in their catalog.

it also feels like it's 10 minutes long

:(

I routinely get choked up at the sentimental parts of How I Met Your Mother. I don't admit that to many people too.
