Pins and Needles

Story Behind The Song

Basically this song is saying... you see, really good things could happen... but should I be waiting for them? I'm so worried about waiting for them!

Song Description

A dreamy folk pop song in the vein of Feist or The Decemberists-- pretty girl harmonies, a gentle, loping feel punctuated by banjo and an ever-so-slightly country sounding electric guitar (played by Jeff Baron of The Essex Green). Lyrically, the song is poetic and somewhat opaque, evoking anxiety about the future and worry, but couched in a very serene musical landscape.

Song Length 4:26 Genre Folk - Alternative
Tempo Medium Slow (91 - 110) Mood Worried, Serene
Subject Future, Worry Similar Artists Fleet Foxes, Calexico
Language English Era 2000 and later

Lyrics

Once in a while, every hundred years or so comes a man, a magic man, who lights the way to go


He will end your rainbow chase with a pocketful of grace
Oh such a toothsome catch to end your day


Still there's a reason for the pins and needles in your hands
And it's quite a late season to be waiting on such a man

See underneath stairs, growing there in the dirt, there's a sprout, lowly flower sprout and you bet it knows its worth

Still there's a reason for the pins and needles in your hands
And it's quite a late season to be waiting on such a man

doo doo doo doo doo doo etc...
