Hindsight's giving me
Too much memory
There's too much never seen
But it's always there 'cause it's everywhere
Taking my own advice
Worked out for me nice
But now I come to find
The tricks we play with human brains
They don't want to think about the other side
Is that grass just greener 'cause it's fake?
'Cause that's all that we've been told since we were five years old
Is that all we'll ever know?
Hindsight brings me down
It keeps me on the ground
And though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare if you weren't there
The thing with getting up
Feelings like giving up
Feels like not enough
You eat a crumb and waste a loaf
They don't want to talk about the other side
Where the grass was greener than they said
'Cause this doesn't bring to mind what I'd expect to find
They must be colorblind
What about Canada?
What about Canada?
This paradise
Of pines and ice
Morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
Bad into ideas was no surprise
We'll wait 'till the wild has rights, then never lock doors at night
And kiss all those wars goodbye

And Canada with Bill. Just noticed that there are almost 2000 listening in Canada as opposed to 6500 in United States. Considering that the population of States is 9 times greater, percentage wise, more Canadians tune in than Americans.
Currently only one listener in Mongolia. Apparently, still some outreach work to be done there?

Sharing a hometown (Fredericton) with David Myles, Holly Cole(who might prefer Halifax, actually), and Measha Brueggergosman is a source of pride.

Canada, indeed a paradise of Pines and ice… And relatively sane politics.

it seems that a lot of people like to slag nickelback. it escapes me why. they are unapologetic about their motley crue roots, good old canajun boys who play fire breathing pyrotechnic full on muzak rather than the fake country shuffle we hear all over the place. kind of like how people slag john mayer or toto. i understand it. i just change your dial, kenneth and you'll be fine.

a Canadian, eh.
Really do like the feel of this song, but every time I hear it I'm thinking it's Neal Young. Wiki does say he was one of there greatest influences. I'm going to agree.
Ammmmazing song that gets better every time I hear it.
Intro/Sweet Jane —> this.
Okay, everybody. Time to turn down the music in your cubicles!

Seeing these guys tonight at Red Rocks in Colorado....opening for Father John Misty.
Not to be confused with "Blame Canada" from the (in)famous South Park episode. Was going to attach a link, but it's pretty offensive.
My people come from Canada - eh? (Kinda have to put a question mark on those)
It's a nice song. Probably a nice sentiment, but not entirely sure that I'm smart enough, or artistic enough to really fully grasp the lyrics...

Canada is in the lyrics:

Morning comes in freight ships while your sleeping
Batting two ideas with no surprise
Wait til the wine has rights
They never lock doors at night
And kiss all those wars goodbye

Being an Idaho guy, and a life long Pacific North Westerner, I have had the pleasure of seeing these guys live a couple dozen times. LIVE is where they completely sealed the deal for me l as a life long fan. They simply DESTROY in a beautiful way live. I love every one of their studio albums.
I'm surprised we do not hear more from some of their earlier studio work, or their live album on RP. Their live Neil Young cover Cortez the Killer is incredible.
Great to hear them period however.

This song reminds me a LOT of Neil young - similar voice, country backing.

It's true: in Canada, morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping. This has some downsides. In 1993 there was a horrible Nautical Disaster in which it seems a morning freighter was, indeed, Built to Spill. Off the British Columbia coast, morning spilt from the damaged vessel across the country, reversing the natural order in which those in the east wake up first. Many of us in the west were traumatized by having been woken up much too early, during deep REM sleep. Greenpeace members, who would have been the first to point out the inherit dangers of shipping morning, were too dazed to organize themselves. The morning industry has only grown since then, controlled by a few Japanese exporters whose red-sun flags remind us who controls whom. And while there have been no other incidents, many Canadians go to bed nervous each night, not knowing which would be worse: if morning never came, or if it came too soon.

I wish I could tell you brother, but I'm afraid it was one of those magical once-in-a-lifetime-moments.
You know the ones that flash before your eyes, for a short instant stopping all clocks, bringing your whole reality to a screaming halt. Soon before receding and perishing in a silent void of the past, never to be reached and felt again. Leaving you standing stark naked and somewhat afraid, with no less than a coctail of emotions stirring your whole inside. And in your hands holding all you thought you knew of the world, while before your eyes reality now has turned completely upside down.

Let's hope no one ever makes a typo like this: Built to Spill: Hindsight from There is No Enema
I always look forward to hearing this one! An 8, I think. . .
Whew. Audioslave over. Unmute.
I wonder if you can do an auto-rate? Every Built To Spill song that's been played on RP has been a nailed-on Ho-Hum. If I have to have a leg amputated without anaesthetics please play this whole album to me and I'll be numb to anything by the end of it 
Was only half-listening here in the office; I thought it was gonna be Slow Ride!

Please! Please! No DFA! (Death From Above) We promise to behave well. Promise! -lol-
Tagish_girl: Just want to let you know that increasingly Canadians have guns too. To own one, it helps to be male, between the ages of 16 and 35, extremely insecure; apparently possessing an IQ of less than 90 helps too.
Two males in the 30s were pulled over at the 4-way stop near our quiet suburban home on Christmas Eve. Two streets up, they had backed into a parked car and upon leaving the scene of the accident, switched drivers. (Thanks to vigilant neighbours who called the police.) The drive had a hand gun on him. Illegal, most likely US origin. Do the police often intercept weapons like this? Not in the past.
In 2009, the Greater Vancouver area suffered a epidemic of public shootings. Probably as result of the increased use of informants by the police.
Did I just hear some old Hollies riffs in this song?
Nice.

And don't call it "ice" hockey. Despite what the IOC may think, it's just hockey.

You will not find a bigger fan of the Goldsmiths than me, but once in a while they just have a blind spot.
On balance, they deserve our gratitude for what they do, though, so let's sit back and enjoy the ride.
BTS is a great band, why do they pick all of their sucky songs to play though? If the only outlet you were hearing them was here, you would think this band sucked!
You know what, my friend, you've hit on something that I've wondered about since I subscribed to RP in 2006.
I have made the same comment about Oasis a number of times —- their best stuff isn't playlisted here.

Nope, not since 1987. but I do live about an hour outside of Toronto, so I do hear all their gun-related news. I'm not too far removed from gun violence.

Agree on each point, except for the guns. Guns are NOT a part of Canadian culture. At least not in any way to be proud of.
Not try to start anything, I'm just sayin'.... don't shoot me!

Hmmm. if you listen to the Southpark boys, we can just blame Canada! But then, what is Canada guilty of? Oh yeah, having universal healthcare, encouraging multicultural diversity, allowing gay marriage, loving ice hockey and being all-around nice people. But don't piss us off. We have guns.

And Canada with Bill. Just noticed that there are almost 2000 listening in Canada as opposed to 6500 in United States. Considering that the population of States is 9 times greater, percentage wise, more Canadians tune in than Americans.
And that is still true 9 years later. I’ve got a little spreadsheet that I can dump the ‘listener by country’ data in that compares by population. The US just about always has the largest number of listeners (except overnight, for the relevant time zones) but never the majority. As a percentage of population, the US is often around 10th even during “peak” US listening hours. Canada is always higher than the US as a percentage of population. The highest country by percentage of population is often somewhere with few listeners but a really small population. Last time I bothered to check, 5:30AM Eastern time a couple of weeks ago, it was Slovenia with 101 listeners and a population of 2.1M. Canada was 43rd with 326 listeners and the US was 52nd with 1298.
I kinda like the fact that at any given time LESS people in the USA are listening than from the rest of the world.
