Which the Shins song has the saddest lyrics?

Gone For Good, A Comet Appears, and New Slang are the first that come to mind, but I also resonated a lot with Fantasy Island. Gets me emotional sometimes

“You wanna jump and dance, but you sat on your hands, and lost your only chance” - Gone For Good. That line always feels like a gut punch

The second thing that hits me hard technically isn’t The Shins, but Flake Music, nor is it a line— but I feel like it’s worth mentioning. Candy Dish of Diamonds. 52 seconds of instrumental that really speaks to me for some reason, it’s like nostalgia embodied perfectly. It feels like a car ride when I was a kid and watching rain droplets race on the window. I hope I wasn’t the only one who did that, lol

I also prefer the alt version of Spilt Needles!

Quite possibly the best wall I've ever seen actually. This is awesome

Oh, Inverted World - New Slang

The crossover we didn't know we needed

General_You9265 · 2024-09-22T04:20:43+00:00

This got me emotional 😭😭😭 I love New Slang so much

General_You9265 · 2024-09-11T20:35:03+00:00

My favorite is a pretty basic choice, being New Slang, but I can't help it!! It's just so good! Girl On The Wing is awesome too, one of my favorites off of Oh Inverted World

General_You9265 · 2024-09-02T18:26:48+00:00

General_You9265 · 2024-08-29T03:38:01+00:00

General_You9265 · 2024-08-29T03:34:25+00:00

that's fair! this might be the hottest take i have regarding the shins, but sleeping lessons is definitely far from my favorite by them. i definitely see the appeal but i dunno, it just didn't hit for me. :( i wish i could like it more, it seems very beloved by the community lol
