Climbing up the same walls
been climbing up for years
but its not the way it looks love
its not how it appears

don't ever darken my door
don't ever show your face
its a faithless revelation
to put you in your place

oh you'll never know
how this feels.
this is music to my ears yea
long time coming...

one more day in your arms
seems half a world away
all those precious moments
will haunt me to the grave

oh you'll never know how this feels
this is music to my ears yea
long time coming..
its been a long time coming..
long time coming
its been a long time coming..

don't go...
don't go...
don't go....

Listening in the background, then stopped to see who this was, then turned it up. Nice groove and vocals.

Yep, on the first notes I was hoping it was. This is still good, too. 
...Dang, still wish it was the Delvins, though.

 Was also hearing that influence.  Just saw him play with Fleetwood Mac.  I liked him before but was blown away by his talent!  Sorry Lindsey, you were not missed...

 Thank you! I couldn't figure out what this reminded me of...  Figured if I looked at the band I would know the song because it must be the same band.  That didn't work so I knew one of you genius's out there would have the answer:)

Some music just reminds you of other music.  Very reminiscent of Soul Asylum to me.

Music to my ears...  Indeed! I hear many parallels in this one; resonance is one trippy function of sound & wavelength that I always dig!

edit:  great album, to my ears.  Sorry they are no more.  This is what Travis wish they could sound like.

Hey ..... I am Montana born and bred (5th generation) and I have absolutely NO problem with the term cowboyland.

But, if Montana is no longer cowboyland, where can it be found?  That would be nowhere,  though the myth is difficult to surrender.

Um, where, exactly, is "Cowboyland"?  Be careful with your answer, because I grew up in (and still live in) a place that was and is lovingly referred-to as "cowboyland," but somehow, I don't think your reference applies to my neck of the woods. I bet you've never ridden a horse in your life. I bet you've never been to a rodeo. I bet you've never worked on a ranch, herding and branding cows. I bet you have no idea what barrel-racing is. I bet the smell of burning cow-flesh would make you pass out.

Stop throwing around expressions about which you have no first-hand information. It only proves to everyone that you're a child. The fact that you're still allowed to post here is only because it's an open forum, and the denizens pretty much patrol themselves and resolve their differences off-board.

And that's all I'm saying about your absolutely asinine reference to "cowboyland."

Aw, I got excited. From the beginning of this song I thought it was "Waiting" from the 6 Feet Under soundtrack.

Probably depends on the person mixing it? I know what you mean, though - that tight, simple sound that three or four people can make, and it becomes bigger than life? I love that! Still love some rich backgrounds, tho : )

I saw Rubyhorse once when they opened for Jump, Little Children. I have to say, they sounded lot better live than they sound recorded in studio.

I like how they've incorporated strings; especially the cello towards the end.

I thought that this was Soul Asylum at first... vocalist sounded a bit like Dave Pirner to me and that is not a bad thing.

For some reason, the opening reminds me of a slowed-down opening to Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing." Anybody care for that one? I've liked Rubyhorse for some time now. This song is no exception. Excellent.
