After breaking up with his girlfriend, moving out of his house, and joining a 12-step program for addiction, Ebert began work on a story about a messianic figure named Edward Sharpe. According to Ebert, Sharpe "was sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind ... but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love." Ebert later met singer Jade Castrinos in Los Angeles, California, United States. In the summer of 2009, as Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Ebert and Castrinos toured the country with a group of fellow musicians in a big white school bus.
Its song "Home" was voted number 15 on the Australian Triple J Hottest 100's 2009 countdown, the largest music poll in the world.

40 Day Dream
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Lyrics
I been sleepin' for 40 days and
I know I'm sleeping 'cause this dream's too amazin'
She got gold doorknobs where her eyes used to be
One turn and I learned what it really means to see
Ah, it's the magical mystery kind
Ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh, I could die
Oh now I can die
Oh I've been sleepin' for 60 days and
Nobody better pinch me
Bitch I swear I'll go crazy
She got jumper cable lips
She got sunset on her breath now
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death now
Ah, it's the magical mystery kind
Ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh, I could die
Oh now I can die
Ah ooh, ah ah, ah ooh ah ah, ah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, ah ah, ah ooh ah ah, ah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, ah ah, ah ooh ah ah, ah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
Ah, it's the magical mystery kind
Ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh, I could die
Oh now I can die

Well, I been sleeping for forty days and I know
I'm sleeping 'cause this dream's too amazing
She got gold doorknobs where her eyes used to be, yeah
One turn and I learned what it really means to see
Ah-ah, it's the magical mystery kind, ah-ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh-oh, I could die
Oh, now I could die
Oh, I been sleeping for sixty days
And nobody better pinch me
Bitch I swear I'll go crazy
She got jump cable lips
She got sunset on her breath now
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death now
Oh
Ah-ah, it's the magical mystery kind, ah-ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh-oh, I could die
Oh, now I could die
Ah-ah, it's the magical mystery kind, ah-ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh-oh, I could die
Oh, now I could die
Culper
I been sleepin' for 40 days and
I know I'm sleeping 'cause this dream's too amazin'
She got gold doorknobs where her eyes used to be
One turn and I learned what it really means to see
Ah, it's the magical mystery kind
Ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh, I could die
Oh now I can die
Oh I've been sleepin' for 60 days and
Nobody better pinch me
Bitch I swear I'll go crazy
She got jumper cable lips
She got sunset on her breath now
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death now
Ah, it's the magical mystery kind
Ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh, I could die
Oh now I can die

This song reminds me of falling in love with my husband, Spring nights, cheap champagne, and dancing barefoot on wood floors in old houses. :D

@Hannah Giddings a great comment 👍

Thats so beautiful 😍 their song home reminds me of me and my husband moving into our first house, having our first child, our wedding day and every time I've seen his face and been gut punched by how much I love that man. These guys are amazing for catching a feeling and letting you relive it time and time again. Xx

Siz-same. Multiple times at that.

This song came on the stereo while I was at work. I tried to break off and use Shazam to identify the song but I was too late, and it ended. In frustration, I slapped "ah ah I could die song" into Google and hoped for the best. And the first result I got was this video. I love when mashing random lyrics into Google actually works.

It was the "ive been sleeping for forty days" just resonated with me apparently
