Swim Until You Can't See Land by Frightened Rabbit

Dip the toe in the ocean. Oh how it hardens and it numbs.
And the rest of me is a version of man
built to collapse into crumbs
And if I hadn’t come down
To the coast to disappear
I may have died in a land-slide
Of the rocks, the hopes and fears.

So swim until you can’t see land.
Are you a man or are you a bag of sand?

Swim Until You Can't See Land is a song from Frightened Rabbit's third album The Winter of Mixed Drinks released in March 2010. I discovered Frightened Rabbit through Twitter about a year ago when they were mentioned by--I can't remember who exactly, but being that I bothered to check them out, it must be by a band or personality whose taste in music I like. And they did not disappoint. After a bit of reading, I learned that their music has been making its way into primetime, being featured a couple of times in the TV series Chuck.

Frightened Rabbit is a Scottish indie rock band, which only heightens my love for Irish and Scottish music. They have some of the best bands and indie folk artists, which is why I'll surely be posting more of them in this blog as well. Anyway, you may also want to check out The Loneliness and The Scream, another Frightened Rabbit song I happen to like. Enjoy!
