Ours: a collection of videos and thoughts

I'm going to see them this friday.
Sometimes when it's late and I can't sleep, I listen to their songs and the lyrics help to sort of put things in perspective. His voice is also just really nice. Jimmy is a lot like Jeff Buckley in voice and even with some of the lyrics. Maybe thats why I like him so much. So melodic.
Here are a few more songs/videos I like





an oldie but goodie and also very amazing lyrics and voice


I love that he sang this song... the sound is a little yucky, but I know how his voice sounds :)


great video


and yes, mercy for the meek, please

So, who is Ours, you ask? Well Ours began in 1992, and built a strong following playing shows in New York City. By 1997, the band had sparked a label bidding war, and when the smoke settled, they signed a deal with Dreamworks Records. For their first record, Distorted Lullabies, Ours worked with legendary producer Steve Lillywhite. The record was released in 2001, and was met with beaming critical praise, and fervent fan appreciation. Their single "Sometimes" enjoyed heavy rotation at both radio and MTV2. Ours followed up Distorted Lullabies in 2003 with Precious, helmed by critically acclaimed producer, Ethan Johns. For the past 4 years, Ours have been meticulously crafting their 3rd record with world renowned producer Rick Rubin. NOW ON SALE, the lush, sweeping, and transcendent Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy) is the record Ours were destined to make.
