Green Aisles

unconditional love. just it.

Just a song about living in suburbia. Love Real Estate.

I misheard the lyrics and thought it said "a campus lifestyle" at first. I imagine this song being about a long distance relationship after the guy moved away for college, and drove back every weekend (the wasted miles) in order to see his beloved.

awesome song

I love this song, so damn much. It's perfect.

Beautiful track... I think its "phone lines," not fog lights.

I picture a highway with farms on both sides, as the "green aisles"... I think this song is about the "careless lifestyle" of youth, and the feeling of freedom that comes with it too

It just about being young and making stupid mistakes or doing foolish acts and learning from them. About the adolescents years of suffering and insecurity and realizing that all those cantankerous years really meant something. All those leaps of faith all those half baked plans weren't stupid weren't foolish they were actually wise. It reminds one of a parent telling a child to stay away from the stove because it's hot and the child touching the stove anyways, and learning from first hand experience that the stove is really hot and they should be cautious when around it. It's the relization that all our minute acts in life add up and really make us who we are and appreciating those things.

Songs about him and a girl (whom he used to or maybe still knows) and how they would used to get high on weed and travel down the green aisles together. Their careless lifestyle, it wasn't so bad afterall.. Shit was haunted, the winter was coming, but that was alright. ever been high when it's cold out? You feel like a boss.

This song is clearly about Real Estate touring as a young band, riding around in their van through the 'green aisles' of trees along the highway.

The song looks back with nostalgia on those early days, when they were still unknown, and affirms that all their "wasted" miles and "aimless" drives weren't so unwise after all--that it amounted to something in the end (the success of their band), despite all the difficulty and risk that it took, and despite family & economic pressure to make a practical living.

That is, this song celebrates the eventual practicality of their impractical decision to make music.

The "you" is a girlfriend who was always waiting for them to come back from tour, who believed in them. It's this secret bond of mutual reassurance that it's going to all come together in the end. Which it does.
