"keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters." wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/3/07 whoever called them the chins, i dont know what to say. stupid. but i love the shins, best band ever COMENTARIO CANCIÒN AUSTRALIA | Reviewer: ORGULLOSA | 6/21/07 ESTO ES LO MEJOR QUE SE HA HECHO DESDE LOS BEACH BOYS,EXCELENTE CANCIÒN EXCELENTE DISCO GRANDE THE SHINS! DESDE CHILE Wow | Reviewer: Angie | 6/17/07 The video's simplicity and child-like humor and point of view just made me want to cry. The song is poignant, and the melodies are perfect. I'd never heard the Shins' music (well, not concsiously) prior to this song, and I'm glad this served as my introduction. What? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/13/07 How can people say that this song is bright and uplifting? It's about feeling empty inside and ultimately killing yourself... interesting song | Reviewer: miranda | 6/8/07 i heard this song before i knew the title kind of surprised me that it was named after my fab country i dont get the lyrics but hey i love the shins and i love this song!! caring is creepy is still my no.1 shins song Probably the best song from The Shins | Reviewer: Bri | 6/4/07 I love The Shins and this is definitely one of their best songs. It just makes you feel so fun. If anyone reading this hasn't heard it yet I suggest you do it now. It's a bit addicting. amazing | Reviewer: Brigs | 5/26/07 can't get this song out of my head! i'm completely in love with it! and most of their other songs but especially this one. you'll always catch me singing it when i'm at work. ha Sounds like... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/23/07 Does anyone notice the similarity in sound to Crowed House? Neil Finn and his band are from Australia... could this be a tribute? If you like this song, check out Crowded House's first album. more then meets the eye | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/8/07 not wanting to be the wanky music guy, but the thing i actually love most about this song is in my perception of what the lyrics mean. I wondered for ages why the song may have been called Australia, and until i heard a james mercer interview I couldnt figure it out. As we all know James Mercer is pure indie and genius and maybe the hottest guy ever. With his genius naturally he wouldnt be able to simply look at an everyday situation and accept it for exactly what it is, he questions everything. This is both a gift and a burden to him, which he explains in this song. He is out and about in Australia and no doubt pondering some of lifes most obscure details, his eyes fall upon a girl. This girl isn't particularly gorgeous, or doing anything out of the ordinary, she is simply dancing...she is listening to the music and without a care in the world just dancing blindly to this music. "You'd be damned to be one of us, girl", james mercer thinks. how much would you want to not give a shit about anything? Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7
