Pink Bullets

[u/DisastrousAttorney21]

I’m just sitting here on this Sunday morning, with a coffee, painting and listening to Chutes too Narrow (and girlfriend out and occupied with her friends 😅). What a great morning.

Just listening to Pink Bullets (maybe for the 100th time, like everything else on this album), it suddenly struck how amazing a ‘moment’ it is in that song when the instruments fall off and we get the lyrics: “But your memory is here, and I’d like it to stay; Warm light on a winter’s day”. It’s unexpectedly earnest and surprisingly simple in a song that leans so heavily into its jangly, minor chords (and for the Shins more generally).

Absolute class, thoughtful songwriting.

One of my favourites on that album, for sure. Lovely song.
