REQUIRED LISTEN: Mayla by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros


This song is the best. In my mind, it's one of those songs that's above criticism. Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros are probably my favorite active band right now; their two albums are easily my favorite musical discovery in recent memory. So basically, if you don't like this song, you're wrong. Listen to it after the jump.
Since my mom won't click read more, I would like to add that if you throw this song on after a wake and bake, like I did this morning, you will fully get it. Also I'm pretty sure the lyrics are really meaningful, but I haven't been able to make them out enough to get the story. If you know, tell me in the comments. Or don't, I guess I could probably just google it.

    Mayla,
    Long time,
    Mayla,
    Sunshine,
    Mayla,
    No lies,
    Tried to see it through,
    Our future to the new,
    Horizon.
    Mayla,
    Long time,
    Mayla,
    Sunshine,
    Hold on,
    We'll try,
    Our hands are bleeding through,
    We're building us a new, horizon.
    Mayla,
    Long time,
    Mayla,
    Sunshine,
    Mayla,
    We'll try,
    Our hands are bleeding through,
    I guess I'm stuck with you,
    And falling. (fall)
    And all i have to do to rise,
    Is look into your eyes.
    Mayla,
    Long time,
    Mayla,
    Sunshine,
    Mayla,
    Hold on,
    Tried to see it through,
    Our future to the new,
    Horizon.
    Mayla... ( x30 )
