LYRICS: Daylight come Daylight go How far will it reach Ain't nobody know And when the dawn breaks The cradle will fall And down will come baby Cradle and all Now I know you need the dark Just as much as the sun But you're signing on forever When you ink it in blood A.E.I.O.U.E.I.O.U.A.E.I.O.U.I. I used my state of the art Technology Supposed to make for better living But are we better human beings We've got our wires all crossed Our tubes are all tied And I'm straining to remember Just what it means to be alive A life worth living Now you can feel it in your chest Building like little birds Just building up the nest And you build it up strong And you fill it up with love And you pray for good rain All from the lord above A.E.I.O.U.E.I.O.U.A.E.I.

We must have not watched the same episode... not even close to Season 1 quality

[@mikec42]

[@srenrasmussen2792]

​@@AT-ki8jzthe best Since 😉

[@nr1771]

@zornu They set up a really interesting mystery and a cool location with the research station, but then they spent more than half the episode on other things away from that. It was disappointing. I think all that side stuff is going to ultimately turn out to just be filler. They really should have focused on the main mystery more.

[@josiahp.6960]

​@@AT-ki8jzIt probably won't live up to the greatness of that first season, but I think it's awesome that they're harkening back to the original material, with the Yellow Sign and Tuttle references.

I first heard this song on the accountant. For some reason, I watched that movie on repeat for awhile....and got very familiar with just the first 2 verses. I had no idea how it progressed after that. I finally saw the whole song on YT. And that's when I heard one of the most satisfying guitar riffs (3/4 of the way thru), and deeply deeply cool drums at the end. A bonanza of musical reward at the end! Love it!

You work on a song. You make money selling records and not only that, the song grows to play in not just one but "multiple" films. On top of everything else the song is so unique that first time listeners from around the globe go looking for it to hopefully get the name and hear it again. Now that is living the dream.

I have been captivated by this song for the past decade without really listening to the lyrics and understanding it for myself before tonight.

Most won't know the kingdom of heaven within, but it awaits all who seek it

I saw Jim James and Twin Limb live yesterday at The Palace and his music gave me an experience I will never forget. The lights, the music, and everything was just so unreal.

I still think this is one of the best songs I've ever heard. It has this haunting quality and it will be relevant as long as we have technology in abundance, along with loneliness. The fact that my comments don't even get any comments really prove that. Even the ones that do, there is no real conversations being had. People probably argue online more than anything. Either way, these lyrics are still relatable to me.
