This post wouldn't have been possible without the integral help of a random stranger biking past in a bicycle tunnel while singing this song three weeks ago, and even more importantly, without Meghan's keen musical memory and knowledge for figuring out what he was singing from a second or two snippet!
Although the video is slightly confusing (since it belongs within a twelve part Edward Sharpe music-video series, the likes of which I'm sure is wildly entertaining) it is well worth a watch, and even a BETTER use of time to listen to! A slow intro bursts into life at 1:07, and the song has a wonderful mix of equal parts big-crowd-singing-and-clapping-along, and at the same time an intimate sitting-around-the-campfire-loving-life musical experience! The chorus and handclaps just feel so right. Wonderful song! Enjoy and let me know if you watch the whole video series! I'd be interested to know all the cool hippy shenanigans they get into!
Lines like, "I know I'm sleeping because this dream's too amazing" make the song! Enjoy!
