I was born on the first day of December
That means the beginning of the end
Between the last in the line of an emotional time
And the patriarchal rash in the wind
And I'm overwhelmed at the range of emotion
I can ride in some high lonesome sound
I get so low I need a little pick-me-up
I get so high I need a bring-me-down
I get so high I need a bring-me-down
And when I'm high above the sea of love
With the stars of Leo shining
Well, that's a long way to fall into the blue
But it's just a matter of time until I do, yeah
But now I'm under the ground in New York City
I miss the water from the wells back home
And that's exactly what the papers said would happen
If I keep boarding crowded subways alone
So I tried to surround myself with real love
You know, the kind that make them wheels go 'round
I get so low I need a little pick-me-up
I get so high I need a bring-me-down
Like when I'm high above that sea of love
With the stars of Leo shining
Well, that's the hardest way to fall into the blue
But it's just a matter of time until I do, yeah
Like when I'm high above the sea of love
With the stars of Leo shining

Between the last in the line of an emotional time
And the patriarchal rash in the wind
And I'm overwhelmed at the range of emotion
I can ride in some high lonesome sound
I get so low I need a little pick-me-up
I get so high I need a bring-me-down
I get so high I need a bring-me-down
And when I'm high above the sea of love

A 5?!
Granted, this isn't my favorite M. Ward tune, but jeez, it ain't THAT bad.
huh....M. Ward is newish to my ears, and I likey!! It's quirky which I like; gonna rate it a 7 and see how I feel next time it comes on these hallowed airwaves. Long Live RP!!
Brady Bunch theme song?
He IS very good live. And his current work with Monsters of Folk (with Conor Oberst and Jim James) is outstanding.
Wow, very surprised to see a few low ratings for this tune.
Here is a great vid of M. Ward jamming unplugged, whatz not to like.

When I saw him live I didn't really know any of his music - he was opening for another band - and I really liked it, but he didn't have much stage presence at all. He pretty much kept his head down looking at the floor while he played and sang. I did like the music, though.
M. Ward gets happier with every album - I am preferring his older, twisted, sad, sounds of loss. That music seems to move me more. Still a master. And DAMN great live.
