Black Water
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Lyrics
Black water
Drippin' down your face
Mountains in reconstitution's embrace
[Chorus]
Guns and steel
And the germs of love
Toe to toe
In the world of mud
Guns and steel
Blow for blow
For my aching heart
Black water
Spread your words on me
Waste me with a bang
You know, for posterity
[Chorus]

Its first show as a full band was played July 18, 2007 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California.
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.

I don’t know what it is, this song just has a vibe to it. I love it. It’s dark, echoey, and just draws you in.
I used to listen to this album to and from work when I lived in Vegas and worked in Primm, but especially this song going down I-15 at 4am after my shitty shift and smoking a cig on my way home.
This album definitely had a day/night vibe to it. I’d listen to Om nashi me, 40 day dream on the 35 min drive to work, then this or Tool towards my resting spot.
