    Months ago I bought this album because I find the album cover so beautiful. I swear I never heard of this band before I bought the CD. I thought it's one of the best albums I have ever bought so far.

      ​@user-do7yz6sf8j I think this still sounds fresh because they echoed music from an unforgettable bygone era, yet also introduced something new. They weren't concerned about sounding like fags either; much like Bowie, Morrisey, and Bret Anderson, and that must take courage and self belief. I only wish they'd been able to continue with the original members:( The singer's solo stuff hasn't yet grabbed me in the same way. Maybe it's a little too faggy for my tastes. which was always a line they were close to crossing, in my humble opinion.

      I've been in and out of hospital, at some points under the mental health act. Last week I was admitted by my psychologist: I had no life left in me, my heart still beat but surviving isn't living and I was simply surviving at that point. I'm so glad, I remembered about this song from a short film I adore, I'm Here (dir. Spike Jonze).
      it helped me no longer survive. But live.

    On a car ride home my best friend was telling me how close he was unaliveing himself, we discussed without getting into details. Had a heart to heart and after that we both love Girls and played HellHole Ratrace, On full volume we sang that song together all the way home. That was 5 years ago, I want to believe this song saved both of our lives, this song holds a special place in my heart. Thank you Girls, I bet you saved so many of us with your music

    The truth is once you look past societal conditioning we can actually all be friends. We're forced to separate and be part of groups different from one another. In our rawest form we are the same and want to love and be loved. It's simple really.

    I looked in the mirror today. Damn I’m old lol. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. As I age there’s this graceful aura about it that I can’t put my finger on. It’s like I’m grateful for having the chance to witness the growth, failures, opportunities, pain, loss, of those I love near and dear. But also of myself.
    I want everyone to know that you are an infinite project unto yourself. There is no road you cannot take, no obstacle you cannot face. You are endowed with the bravery and courage of being human. And this strength alone can lead to things you have never thought of. But has been inside you nonetheless. The movement of time and the universe is within us and is not separate from us. We are the universe. We are it.
    So do not shy away from doing what you love. Do the things that make you uncomfortable and that challenge you. You can do it. I believe in you. And I’ll always be with you.

      Well, clearly people just moved on and didn't do a single thing whatsoever, and now we don't have one of the greatest producers of my life. People find it easy to let go and move on, and I get it when it's just regular old depressives or relapsing old friends - but when it's someone that was able to produce this shit so proper you just let the world down and are merely letting yourself move on and not recognize how unethical it is to let people you love just not be here anymore. I've been sober for over a decade but I'm an anomaly, and everyone that loved him should've been trained in administering narcan - simple as fuck.

    I'm sick and tired of the way that I feel
    I'm always dreaming and it's never for real
    I'm all alone with my deep thoughts
    I'm all alone with my heart ache and my good intentions
    I work to eat and drink, and sleep just to live
    Feels like I'm never getting back what I give
    I got a sad song in my sweet heart
    And all I'll really ever need is some love and attention
    And I don't want to cry my whole life through
    I want to do some laughing too
    So come on, come on, come on, come on and laugh with me
    And I don't want to die without shaking up a leg or two
    Yeah I want to do some dancing too
    So come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
    Sometimes you just gotta make it for yourself
    And sometimes, sugar, it just takes someone else
    Sometimes you just gotta make it for yourself
    And sometimes, baby, you just need someone else
    And I don't want to cry my whole life through
    No, I wanna do some laughing too

    and i must say this is one of the better finds that i've had..
    good stuff...
    lol at ppl saying its boring...i suppose in this age of fast food musical production anything that deviates from the norm of naked chicks and lack of creativity is considered boring...

    I agree this one's one of the best from 2009.
    As for me, I would say Grizzly Bear's All We Ask is also one of the best.

    If someone could just lend me like $7 or even $10 million, I could make a really nice film whose final 7 minutes were this song.
