Harvest Lyrics

Lyric discussion by raius 

Cover art for Harvest lyrics by Neil Young

not sure how much any of you folks like The Shins... but an amazing new eclectic band, with a brilliant lyricist/songwriter, James Mercer. he's done a cover of "harvest" at a couple live shows of his 10-10-2004 is one of them... its an excellent rendition... the way he sings the last verse is:

"will i see you give more than i can take? will we only harvest some? and as days fly past, will we lose our grasp, or fuse it in the sun?"

he also sings "sad face" instead of "black face"... whats your take on the second verse? i feel like ive got a solid idea about the song, but not sure entirely about that verse and how it fits.

Would you suggest one best album to become acquainted with The Shins?
