I think they do. They must. This is possibly the best song written in the surrounding 20 yrs. They must know, and I'm sure they are quite happy when they perform it. There is no better thrill as a musician, than to know your audience is well pleased. That's what these guys know, because they are the real deal.

What a really wholesome thought. I'd like to hope so, but then again it would require a degree of arrogance which is not a quality I look for in artists. The lyrics to "I believe you but my Tommy Gun don't" by Brand New come to mind here. I think if a song changes just one life an artist would be pleased, so there's that possibly.

Raphael i often think deeply tge same about this and so many favorite obbsessing over songs of the week. For years...thanks at least we aren't alone.

I sang this song to my newborn daughter every night as she screamed, thrashed and wailed with colic. Nothing could soothe her, but singing these beautiful, timeless words at least put me at ease, which helped get us through those nights. Tonight, 4 years later, a random night when she was feeling sad and lonely and missing her mama who was gone for the evening, she couldn't fall to sleep. This song came to mind, so I sang it to her once again. She instantly nodded off to dreamland, with the sweetest look on her face. That's what this song is. This song will forever be a part of me and I hope someday my daughter will find the same beauty and peace in it that I have.

On a long enough timeline the survival rate of everything is zero

This song makes me think of the end of the semester in college; I had an ecology class that did a lot of camping trips, it was popular with foreign students since it was used to promote the school in other countries. We were driving back to school from a camping trip at dusk and it was when the weather was just starting to feel like summer, we had all gotten a lot closer on this trip since it was so long, despite the cultural/language barriers that made it more awkward at the beginning of the class. One of my new foreign friends fell asleep with her head on my shoulder and this song came on, and at that time I knew I'd remember that moment for years to come. I have no clue what all those people are up to now we didn't keep in touch, but I still remember that time of our life fondly and this song always takes me to that time.

I remember listening to this in 1673 when I was just 15 years old. We'd just finished burning my sister at the stake for practicing Witchcraft. The summer air was peacefully warm and the sun was just setting. Then this song started playing. I don't know what it was playing on, as no radio's had been invented yet, but still, we all stood there and listened, feeling peaceful and optimistic. What a beautiful evening it was. Every time I hear this song, I'm immediately transported back to the edge of those cliffs looking out at the blood orange sun setting over the ocean whilst watching my sister's ashes drift lazily into the evening sky.

And if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to the wind. Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree And I'd 'a danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries. Hope it's right when you die, old and bony. Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall, Never should have called But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely. And if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to the wind. Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree And I'd 'a danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. God speed all the bakers at dawn May they all cut their thumbs, And bleed into their buns 'til they melt away. I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find. Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine? And if you'd 'a took to me like I'd 'a danced like the queen of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

This song reminds me of my son and I, living on south jackson street when he was in elementary school. When I'd get home from work and jiggle the door knob, I'd hear his little feet running across the hardwood floor and he'd sling open the door, throw his little arms up and yell "MOMMY!" And give me the hugest hug around the neck. It's one of my favorite memories. ♥️ He's 21 now. 6'4. Still gives me the strongest best hugs. He doesn't need me anymore like he did, but it's ok.

Hey man, when you have the world's best friend. The years of loyalty and a connection to this brilliant furry amazing pup with their 4 paws, a heart that gives itself away completely. The years and the Pups have broken my heart and given a gift of love from the first time those eyes lock on you and then a slight tilt of those faces that give the quizzical look for a lifetime. You never want those moments to leave. Soon, so soon the day becomes ten years. Too soon that look, the one you have watching the one baby you didn't bring home from the hospital. The soldier of life the truest member of our family. That last look of trust that they give you until you feel a small peaceful moment remembering to breathe. Never to be the same without the pups that changed the world from our homes.... One yesr ago, 11/14/2020 We lost my Dophie, the six pound Pomeranian who called me Daddy for 11 years. Still not over it man, not sure if I want to be. The pups that their time has come, it seems as they know a future pup needs the love your home can provide. Ain't we lucky? Love... God bless your pup my friend.

When someone writes one of these songs that you know will outlive you, it's something special. You have a moment where you think: this is a song that can fix everything that's wrong...and it should, but people are by and large too shallow to feel what a song can give, and they miss it. It is forgotten

This song reminds me of rehab in the mid 2000s. All the good people and friendships made along the way, that meant the world to me. Sadly few are still around. It's a bittersweet tune for me, but always moving and beautiful.

This is my favorite comment so far

I’ll share something too because apparently everyone has memories about this song, and the comments are pretty heartwarming so I thought I’d add. I first heard this song when I was in rehab and I was in my last few months there. It was an incredibly hard time in my life and I have never fought so hard for anything. I used to listen to it whenever I was allowed to have my phone and it always comforted me in a strange way. When I got out and I finally had a roof above my head, let alone one I could call my own I still listened to it a lot. I eventually started studying music, fell pretty madly in love with a beautiful girl and seeing as she was the singer in the band I was assigned to in school, I wanted to share a bit of myself with her. We were playin covers, so I recommended new slang. We didn’t end up keeping it in the set because of some difficulty with backing vocals, and so this song slowly started fading out of my life. Me and the girl got into a rushed relationship, and to keep it short we were too different wavelengths trying to talk to each other. I became caught up with school, my girlfriend and just life in general, and because I wasn’t living right I eventually relapsed into drug use. Me and her broke up, I lost the house I worked so hard for because of my own stupidity and I went fully off the rails again. People learn though, and even though I’m not where I want to be, I am clean, I have the best relationship I’ve ever been in. This time it’s not rushed, and this time I have a lot of experiences that have made me learn about myself and the world around me. I was sitting at the coffee table listening to music just now, and guess what came on. It’s been almost a year since the things I just wrote out happened, so that’s how long it’s been since I’ve heard new slang. And this time, I’m gonna make life work. I know I will. Thank you for reading.

Those, with Sonic Youth’s “Sister”, are all that are mentioned in the 2002 Entertainment Weekly article about the video. So I think you got them all. I remember the Let It Be reference jumping out at me and getting excited and playing closer attention to the visuals. The ‘Mats are one of my favorite bands, and almost every other band I’ve liked (and some I haven’t) name them as an influence in one way or another. It’s kinda wild. (Personally, my favorite album of theirs is Tim, followed closely by Don’t Tell a Soul.) The Shins and the Replacements were soundtracks to very different times in my life, and thus served very different emotional and entertainment purposes, but sensing a thread through all of it is reassuring, in that there’s some sort of comfortable consistency in what appeals to me musically. (Just kinda “thinking out loud” here while geeking about music, thanks for indulging me.)

Plus this song came out in 2001 so if you’re saying the *song* is a ripoff and “music sucks right now” means you’re assuming it’s current, well, obviously, no.

peter the type of spider to say "i needed this" when he plays basketball with his best friend

I've spent 10 years with this song, and met many people sometimes loved one. However this song didn't step into my personal memory so far. Every time I listen to this song, it reminds me the first memory of listening to this. It was a lecture hall in my college,few people was there,and I felt nostalgia but I still don't know for what.

You know.. I've listened to some really depressing and dark music in my life: Elliott Smith, Scott Walker, Some Radiohead, some Swans, Late Joy Division etc, but none of them really affected me.. in fact I found them to be beautiful. But for some reason from the moment I heard this song it just hit me so strong and I was moved to tears from that first time. That was a very long time ago, and it still holds that same spell over me. It's hard to listen to it without chocking up. I still wonder why

I like how this song played in the latest Spider-Man game, and in the first The Amazing Spider-Man movie, a other song by The Shins, No Way Down, plays. I’m not sure if that was an intentional reference to TASM, but I hope it was.
