I like the song a lot. It reminds me of Brand New’s album, The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, but somehow Brand New’s darker tones always sound forced, like they’re trying to make up for their earlier albums. “Funeral Shed” has nothing to make up for; you can feel the darkness, and it’s real, and I love it.

Hey, while I have your attention, could I make a suggestion?

I can’t find anywhere to buy your album! If your label lets you, you should make it available in the U.S. iTunes Store. Especially for bands whose albums I can’t just pick up at the corner store (like most Canadian indie bands, since I’m from the States), iTunes makes everything a lot easier.

Oh, and I’ve lately switched from listening to “Ransom the Sunset” on repeat, to listening to “Funeral Shed” on repeat. Awesome!

Well, I guess that this is beginning
That these are beginnings
And I pressed in close
To notice that they were fragile at best
an as of yet unattached
If cogent mess of magazine bits
But they read (?)
Could we be beginning again?

Well, you stood, your back to the water
You split the horizon, and I said
You’re gorgeous, you’re gorgeous in this setting
You’re gorgeous dressed in the sun like this

Well, I guess this sinking in the west says
That this decline is a blessing
This end’s a beginning
So, so, so, so…
So, watch for me in the east
I’ll be coming around again
Between the Earth and the heavens
I’ll be much more than a silhouette

I’ll wear that red dress, gold necklace, two blue eyes in my head [my head]
