There's a charisma about the band, a sort of geeky playfulness that mere enthusiasm can't beat, that makes The Shins so unique.

Aryaman Sinha “the axe struck a spark”. The metaphor intensifies the adjective “fumbling” of the previous line: he is like something madly chopping wood and missing, but he succeeds in spite of himself. This is real poetry.

This band and this song performance is an amazing example of how good music is today. I have listened and watched it over and over.

Well this is just a simple song To say what you've done I told you about all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun When I was just nine-years-old I swear that I dreamt Your face on a football field And a kiss that I kept Under my vest; Apart from everything But the heart in my chest I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and bleed like a stone Could be there’s nothing else in our lives, so critical As this little home My life in an upturned boat Marooned on a cliff You brought me a great big flood And you gave me a lift Girl, what a gift! You tell me with your tongue And your breath was in my lungs And we float up through the rift I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and bleed like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives, so critical As this little home Well this would be a simple song To say what you've done I told you about all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun Remember walking a mile to your house Aglow in the dark I made a fumbling play for your heart And the act struck a spark You wore a charm on the chain that I stole Especial for you Love's such a delicate thing that we do With nothing to prove Which I never knew

Delighted to see the Shins, particularly James Mercer, go from strength to strength over the years (the Shins members from the O,IW! days have since departed); you now hear them in the mainstream like the new Spiderman movie and HIMYM and this is great because the world needs more music that makes you think while tapping your feet and nobody provides it like Mercer.
