Danger Mouse is one of the best producers around these days. From Gorillaz, Sparklehorse, Portugal the Man, Gnarls Barkley, to Broken Bells. It doesn't hurt that he is a band member of Broken Bells.

I can't believe it's been 13 years.

I haven't heard this song since shortly after it was released, but I remember loving the vibe. If I recall, it used to play in our home theater section when I worked at Best Buy. So tonight I'm driving back home on a 10 hour round trip, and I was turned around on a country road due to a fire. Detoured back through a little back woods town, and got to a fork in the road with a high road and a low road, and said to myself "I'm taking the high road!" I then instantly remembered this song after all these years and had to come back for a listen 😁

It took me years to find this song after hearing it once in a store

This song sends me somewhere where there is no more hurt. I dont know why.

2024 yeah it's a groove. Say it with me

I love this...I forgot the name and searched for 45 minutes for this song and found it with these words..."Come out and get the Minimum"...

I've been listening intently to James Mercer for 20 years, and to this song for at least 10, and just now in 2021, it finally makes sense! 💛💛💛💛💛

Personally I feel the song is about PTSD, Stress, Suicide. something along those lines. Like the thoughts of someone saturated in depression and desperation to escape and possible acceptance to the outcome. This is what I hear, feel, and get from the lyrics. Clamoring and groveling for the high road we have our eyes set on. - Goldfish

This song was posted almost exactly at the start of the decade, Jan 21, 2010. Now it's December 11th, 2019. Glad I heard this song one last time, before the 2010s are over.

Heard on FM4 - Thank u!

As a former drug addict I feel like this song is about addiction

I was struggling with some major problems with family, finances, etc. when this song was released in the 2009/2010 time period and it helped me to get through my situation.

This song is pure beautiful pain.

These people are amazing and always have a place in my heart

I'm old school punk rock and old rnb, among other 80's things and this song is in my top 10 for 3 years now. Well done, I appreciate you.

The vibe of this song is very unique, you hear it once and you'll love it forever. Thanks Árpi for showing me this track back in 2010.
