I am in love again

[tomEisenbraun]

Oh wow,

How Could I Know is sheer bliss. Wow, I can't explain this stupid grin on my face, it's like flirting with the girl of your dreams and having her bat her eyes beautifully back and that fluttering feeling of the uncertain "this has to work". It's like that. Only musical. And absolutely amazing.

Why is this song so beautiful? I could laugh, get married, or die to this, and it would all feel perfect in place.

I love you Jim James.

[Specialist]

i'm listening to it right now for the first time

update: holy crap, that chorus blew my mind...great song

[tomEisenbraun]

doesn't it make you just glow?

This song could ALWAYS pull me out of any kind of horrible mood ever, I think.

It's such credits music.

I never want it to end. I have it on repeat in my iTunes. My audioscrobbler page is gonna have like 50 plays from it today.

[tomEisenbraun]

Hahahahaha, yes!

Listen to the fade-out. That is definitely the OmniChord!!!

Oh wow, I love this song.

[EC]

[aMillionDreams]

This song is wonderful.  It's helping me get up on the right side of the bed this morning.

Anyone else think the chorus sounds closer to "I'm not old" than "How could I know"?

[aMillionDreams]

Hahahahaha, yes!

Listen to the fade-out. That is definitely the OmniChord!!!

Oh wow, I love this song.

Are you sure that's not a steel guitar?  I don't hear the omnichord.

[realdeal]

is it the live version where he uses only the ominchord?(sometime this year) thats the only one i can think of.

yeah, thats the cat's cradle show, great version of the song, but the only other one ive heard was the toronto one from last year.

I love the way you put this!! Sometimes listening to the Jacket is akin to like a purely blissful dream where nothing and I mean nothing is askew!  

God I LOVE this song!!

Thanks for another cosmically beautiful song!

Put on headphones and listen to your right ear. You'll hear that signature round fuzzy tone in the fadeout. Definitely steel guitar hanging, but most certainly some OmniChord in her too.

What is the OmniChord?  Is it that plastic keyboard doo-hickey that he played with on a few shows?

[tomEisenbraun]

yeah it is. it has that really warm sappily happy sound. Sounds all warm and fuzzy. I forget what type of synth tone this is called, but you can definitely hear it in the mix waaay towards the end, and its in the fadeout.

Same instrument as used on "Wordless Chorus"
