    Great version! I love this entire ENTIRE album front to back! I have probably listened to it 20 times already and I've only had it a week. This is my fave song (currently) on the album. It's great to see the faces responsible for this amazing music. So thankful that NPR covers new artists like this cos I would not have otherwise known about them.

    What a fantastic song! The chorus has a BeeGees sound in the high notes and that’s a beautiful thing.

    I prefer this performance to the album version.
    Sounds like you're in the room with them.
    Simply amazing.

    Yet again, I'm completely overwhelmed by Broken Bells. From the opening guitar string I'm blown away. Its been a long wait, but well worth it. The lyric "In the lighted corner, sitting on your own, What a lovely day to be lonely" has me in pieces

      @artfernandez7432 7 лет назад

      No joke! I first heard this song years ago and my first thought was 'Did they discover some unreleased Bee Gees in a basement somewhere?'. Turns out, even better! New band to discover and love

    Broken Bells is like when a good MC or rapper finally gets on some good tracks. Like how Danger Mouse made people look at Jay-Z again after Big Pimpin'
    I keep thinking about bass lines when that Surfjan fellow plays too. We need more "Detroit" in music these days.

    Danger Mouse... does it get any better? One of the best producers around today. With his stuff he did with Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley, Portugal the Man, Sparklehorse... if you can't appreciate what he does then your taste in music is just awful.
