classic melody & lyrics w/ fresh production. nicely done

Been hearing it on the radio. Not growing on me yet. Maybe there's a live acoustic reinterpretation in our future.

I just heard a live, acoustic version of this song, and it was amazing. Ryan played a xylophone instead of the synth at the bridges...totally rad.

I go from listening to adhesivewombat and savant to this in one day...

"Simple Machine" appears on Guster's full-length album, Evermotion(Ocho Mule / Nettwerk).

LYRICS:

Static, steady, plastic, motion
Lights flash, beating, almost, breathing
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

Empty, hollow, spit and swallowed
Preachers preaching, courage, ceded
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

So just forget about me, I will get by on myself
I’m not a simple machine, I have become something else
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

Wise up, scarecrow, this is treason
Coal eyes see it, straw heart beating
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

So just forget about me, I will get by on myself
I’m not a simple machine, I have become someone else
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

Ever after, I get further
Who will still be waiting?
Ever after, it gets further
I can feel you fading
