I was born a lover
Everybody knows
Just the way it is
Just the way it goes
She's a cold companion
Like a desert rose
The worst it is
The more she glows

Woman are you under?
Woman are you under?
Woman are you under?

I saw a light shining
On the edge of town
I packed my things and I ran it down
Past me and my hemma
I hold it in my hand
We can never change the universe's plan

Woman are you under?
Woman are you under?
Woman are you under?

Why does someone in a two-man group need a side project? Especially when it sounds like the main group?
maybe was getting tired of the static-sound? this tune is different, but i haven't heard others from the arcs

Love the feel of the song, but there is a tone in there that makes me think my wireless headphones are low on battery, so I have to concentrate to ignore it.
Had to check and make sure this wasn't early 70's Fleetwood Mac

When is anything about music ever necessary? What's the point of art anyway!

Sounds quite Cake-like, except the singing.
 
Cake is more "novelty"...this more authentic.....

Put simply, Dan Auerbach wanted to play similar kind of music, but with a different set of musicians. A different set of instruments, a different collaborative process. Maybe Patrick Carney just wanted to take a break and Dan didn't, so he found someone else to play with.
Fleetwood MacIsh

WOO!!!         super cool  : )
Are there flight warning dings in the song? You know the seatbelt warning beoing sound.
Looking up the band it's suddenly easy to see why I I was hearing some sort of Black Keys circa Brothers feel to this tune.

This song kicks ass! Sounds like something out of 1972, but fresh.

 
yeah, it has a 'Rock On' David Essex vibe to it
not digging it
the guitar doesn't seem right
but i'll keep on listening as long as Bill plays it 
Who by Fire next would be cool!
tne sound!
Some half decent tracks on this album, accompanied by some serious clunkers.  Bit hit and miss to my ears.  I like this track, though.  There's a little snip of Arctic Monkeys at certain points too, to my ears, 
Only 0.3 plays per day - seriously?
Only 11 plays in last 30 days, seriously?  {#Wink}
Plays in last 30 days: 11
Seriously...

New to me. Hm, quite cool that. :)
With each play they change the title.
They have a  nice song titled cold roses.
