I have a better break up song from the Free Tibet concert in 2001, Randall's Island. Full moon and all. Is that too many syllables ?
ReplyDeletefor kicks I looked up the lyrics, and with out a doubt Sid, Nancy, Joey, and Joe are spinning in their graves.
ReplyDeleteThe words babe, frequent, as well as twilight and forever are in this song.
And they really could have moved a few blocks north and defiled Madison Square Park.
It's like a plane crash minus the plane.
I like that the band is broadening their sound. I like this song, but it could be about any park.
ReplyDeleteI saw them back a few years ago at Webster Hall when they first started to tour the U.S.; they put on a good show.
ReplyDeleteThis is bad
ReplyDeleteEh, it would make a good B-side. If there were such a thing as a B-side anymore.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to TSqPark, the brand.
ReplyDelete(This song on top of a slew of recent movies, etc...)
First thing I noticed were the creepy, cringeworthy lyrics. These guys are are treading water in a sea of cliched poetry and rudimentary musicianship. I think they should stick with their impassioned, unrelentingly churning acoustic-based sound. Because switching to electric instruments only further exposes their melodic and rhythmic shortcomings. Admittedly I have always hated this band.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, he's kidding, right? Is this a SNL skit. Get lost.

ReplyDeleteWhat's a side-B?
its a special off menu item at Horseshoe Bar.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how far some musicians can get today with such a limited understanding of music. On the other hand, I've known great jazz musicians who were saying that about the Beatles way back in '64.
ReplyDeleteDevolution is real!
...or B-Side...the bar on Ave. B.
ReplyDeleteJustin Beiber is writing a down and out ballad with our park as the central focus. Good job, kids. Thanks for your apathetic presence in our city.
ReplyDeleteYou have to admit, it's better than Lou Reed's "Hold On".
ReplyDeleteThis band suck, I never got their appeal or sound. Its like designed for young professionals milennials who can't develop a taste of music for themselves.
ReplyDeleteI like that most of the posts here are drowning in there own sea of pretentiousness,
ReplyDeleteA bought this album after a long day and driving home, this first song,
Tompkins square park..
Saw me clear through the drive home. A simple understated message and music that doesn't try to be more evolved than it needs to be.
Simple and straight to the heart.
Well done M&sons,
Another addition to the playlist.
Who is credited w/ writing the lyrics?
ReplyDeletefunny I've actually been broken up with in this park
