I find the first half of Moving To The Left some of the best modern Americana music I’ve heard; up there with War on Drugs. But it’s hard to maintain that quality for 5 minutes without ruining it. After 2:30 min, a petulant Hindustani guitar sound discomposes the vibe of the proceeding music. ‘Hey just end it at 2:30 fellas if you haven’t got anything better to add‘. Others here might beg to differ and that’s cool.
Woods is an American folk-rock band from Brooklyn, formed in 2005. They have released 11 albums and Moving to the Left is the fourth song from their eighth studio album With Light and Love released in 2014. With Light and with Love received largely positive reviews from contemporary music critics with an average score of 79, based on 19 reviews.
All of my life, is this happenin’ again
Are we floating by and by
Are we moving to the left?
All of my days we’re spending in the sun
We’re moving on and on
Are we moving with the rest!
It feels strange
It feels the same
We’re speaking tongues
To hold the shame
You can cover up,
You can hide –
You feel again
What passes by won’t stay with them
