Red Mosquito

Enjoying this more now. Still feels like it should have been followed up with a rocker or maybe even been the first song on the album.

Buckle Up
Who Ever Said
Dance With The Clairvoyants

I love this song even more, since knowing it's literally about hospitals and doctor / patient interaction - how weirdly beautiful; well done Stone

the near-polyrhythm Matt is playing on his bass drum in the instrumental break makes me wonder if it would work to play the bodhran with this song - it's essentially a jig; I'm going to try it

I still read it as about matricide/patricide.
Yes I do need to see a shrink, thank you.

*clinks glass*

i can hear stone under the not-kazoo now

find me another human being, alive or dead, who ever pronounced the word "harm" like this.

I like this better than Parachutes. It's perfect on this album and Josh captured it beautifully.

yep, it's way better

Parachutes is a five star somg though, certainly better than several Gigaton songs.

Buckle Up is still my favorite Gigaton song. Truly excellent.

I love Parachutes as well which is why I mentioned it. Buckle Up is as good or better than Parachutes and Thin Air. That is saying something.

Yeah I dunno. I LOVE "Buckle Up" but I don't think it reaches "Parachutes" tier. Just below it.

this song is lovely. too early to tell if it is better than parachutes - it does go down easier

Wise to wait.....we can agree that Stone's still got it though!

that's a completely subjective proposition

I just got MP4 video of my cockatiel Pippin dancing to this song, is there a way to upload it here?

Im enjoying it more than Parachutes. I still love that one, but this one is just so good. Havent paid attention to the lyrics yet.

that is true, I just felt that "Parachutes is a 5 star song though" was a weird thing to say, cos my reaction isn't "shit you're right, I forgot" lol
