It found me deep beneath the water
This time it looked and felt so different
I'm begging to my loved ones, understand
I'm a useless man, the loving hand that you fell for
That you fell for

I took my fear back to Galileo
They told me son, just count your blessings
I wandered through those streets that you wouldn't mend
And I felt so low, the man I used to know
That you fell for, that you fell for

And oh, I wander
And oh, I live in fear
Cause when my shadow moves I shudder
For the fear inside my heart won't disappear, no dear

Cause I sold my spirit for your soul
I felt it running through my fingertips
I love you more than you will know
And I hope you understand
My strength lies in your hands

And oh, I wander
And oh, I live in fear
Cause when my shadow moves I shudder
For the fear inside my heart won't disappear, no dear

You took my only one, when I only wanted love
When I only wanted love

I never fail to be astonished how, with the countless thousands of bands out there, an individual voice can be identified and recognised, as in this case.  Unique sound and in a different league to the cripplingly awful Mr Martin.

ps the fish hook in my lip stung a little, but it's ok now.

This works for me...  
Thought it was Fleet Foxes!

yeah, I feel this song is particularly bland - his voice is both grating and soppy if that is possible

 
"Grating & Soppy" would be a good band name...or at least an album title.  Like steel cut oats.

Yes.  
Hmmm sounds a little like Travis-ish

Good tune.
Like this song.

Well produced but a bit too laid back for my taste.

They should do a tour with snow monkeys, vampire weekend and arcade fire. 
I keep hearing "Feeding line" in my head when I hear this song. THAT is an amazing song.

I very much agree with what you said about  MMJ and FF

This band seems to have a better quality!


I like bear..., but do not needs boys!
Yeah...repeat the same line over and over and call it a song. I like some things by this band but this is very mediocre....and did I say repetitive?

Great band, great song. Yet only 6,5. Come on RP-listeners you can do better than that.{#Yell}
 
let's see, I can get you anywhere from 6.4 to 6.7 right now......  but, I have to say 6 at this point in time, leaving you at the 6.6 I found it at.  Let me have a few listens and it might make a 7.  I have liked their other songs.
Great band, great song. Yet only 6,5. Come on RP-listeners you can do better than that.{#Yell}
