Barenaked Ladies- Keepin' It Real (Track 6)

[@robwisdom4541]

What I have done for people will determine my worth. *"Special is as special does. You aren't special just because."*

[@birdergirlrs]

I keep picturing Neil Young... I think this might be my favorite from the album... It would be awesome to see Neil perform this with BNL!!!!

[@Supesfan88]

Probably favourite track off new record - Very nice!!!

[@BigGoldChungus]

My fav song off the album so far

[@focusfishingoutdoorswithcr5880]

This is a great track! Love it

[@stevesgirl824]

This is my favorite song on this album. PLEASE come to Dallas. :)

[@techdawgca]

This is a great track. Be great if it was the next one to get an official music video. ;)

[@lyleryan2235]

most songs i've listened to were of kevin, jim, and ed. so....i'm not missing too much

[@TotosDawn]

How I love this!!

[@christopherlecheminant8041]

tab book please. Do it now!!! Please:)

[@SirJNicolas]

How the fuck have I never heard of these guys before? The fuck is wrong with me...

[@kcrambler4426]

You still listening to them?

[@beaubrockett8757]

This album could definitely be the next Stunt for them, maybe even better.

[@andrewbrown8956]

I was probably thinking "Coattails of a Deadman", given its beat and slow vibe.

[@12321Walrus]

Odds Are is a lightheaded fun track

[@HeadshotWaffle]

You know, as a Christian, I still find myself agreeing that this is awesome. This isn't some slanderous hate-song about his opposition that relies on a smearing those who believe. You can tell: it's just what he legitimately feels about his own views on life portrayed in an incredible song. I love it and I definitely plan to buy the CD because of it. I mean, what's life if we don't realize the views of others?

[@robwisdom4541]

HeadshotWaffle go vote against cancer research.. Nobody wants your religion.

[@FaylunaRaRa]

@b phillip You're right... Religious people are good for their food... xD I'm joking (kinda), but your focus on the food as opposed to things like the values the Church preaches just struck me as hilarious... Like you were ignoring the stuff they often try to push and being like "Well, at least religious people are very useful..." To be fair, in a way I guess you can expand the giving of food to be based on some of their values, so there is that... Being charitable is certainly good for society...

[@eyflfla]

@b phillip there are plenty of secular sources of charity.

[@MichiganPeatMoss]

May 2021: Rob had a bad day back in 2019. Awwww.

[@robertbergman1779]

I love it, but what's with the country vibe to all of this... s'the lack 'o Steve, says I. Oh well. Me still love.

[@andrewxc1335]

I get some slight Primus feeling in there, too. I can't find the track, but I have "The Antipop", so it's probably on there.

[@dirkbag22]

Haven't been whimsical for years. Gordon remains their greatest album.

[@bnlgeekychic]

True story. ;)

[@andrewxc1335]

Can't be whimsical all the time... :) Same with "I Have Learned" off of their last one - very "ROCK". It's true that there are a few others on this album that deal with lighter subjects. Try them out.

[@karmawindsor1389]

Is this almost country?

[@BelatedGamer]

Feels a little like Johnny Cash to me.

[@bouchardaanda4257]

Karma Windsor its Canadian Folk Rock

[@TC_mizu]

My grandmother went to music camp with you. Her name is Andrea.

[@simbeau]

This is a hell of a good way for Ed to become more vocal about his atheism.

[@Zach121k]

Ending Lyrics please... You cant keep nothing if you havent got trust....

[@MarsJenkar]

You can't build nothin' if you haven't got trust You're standin' on steel, and slowly watchin' it rust There's no use fightin', no one's gettin' along You can't just add sugar if the coffee's too strong You dig a foundation, put it deep in the ground Then water and wind'll come and blow it all down Tie it all together, so that you make it float Then drop a piece of dynamite into the boat They say we'd have wings if God had meant us to fly He never gave us gills, are we supposed to stay dry? If He had a hand in the original code He hasn't paid attention since He made it explode

[@AnotherPostcard]

Tom Waits should do a cover of this.

[@GrumpyOptimist]

Very Rainmaker-esque....

[@BlueFlameStudiosOfficial]

zombie apocalypse theme music right here

[@goldjd1]

Am I the only one who can't hear the final verse except a stray word here and there?

[@mrknowie]

Yeah, would like to hear a mix where the lyrics are clear there. One of BNL's greatest strengths is amazing lyrics; don't drown them out!

[@MarsJenkar]

That mix still doesn't exist, but in lieu of that, I do at least have the lyrics for the final section: You can't build nothin' if you haven't got trust You're standin' on steel and slowly watchin' it rust There's no use fightin'; no one's gettin' along You can't just add sugar if the coffee's too strong You dig a foundation, put it deep in the ground Then water and wind'll come and blow it all down Tie it all together so that you make it float Then drop a piece of dynamite into the boat They say we'd have wings if God had meant us to fly He never gave us gills; are we supposed to stay dry? If He had a hand in the original code He hasn't paid attention since he made it explode

[@dirkbag22]

Pretty good, but by track 6 I'm wondering where the whimsey and light hearted fun has gone.
