most people are tired of it lol
most people are tired of it lolIt gets a 10 from me. I'm not sure why there are a few comments suggesting it's out of tune, or that Wesley's voice is strained. This song is an example of perfection to me.

The fact that this song isn't a 10 on everyone's list tells me that humanity has a lot of evolving to do.

Why this piece grates so much I can’t say, but if I never hear it again this will be a positive
Lumineers are up and down for me. This one is ..ok

There is something in Shultz's voice when he sings the chorus that's a bit disconcerting. Like he's straining uncomfortably. It may actually just be the production, or a bit of both.
In reality I think this is just his style. If you listen to the whole album, this isn't the only track where it sounds like his vocal chords are at their limit.
I will not question anyone’s music taste (well, mostly) but this song is painful for me. The relationship between the singing and the rest of the piece grates intensely. Surely this need not be the case ?

"a solid song that is well executed" - that's not exactly high praise though, is it? Sounds like the definition of a 6 at best to me!
Surprised this isn't rated higher than a six. We are a fickle bunch. While it doesn't break new ground, it is a solid song that is well executed. I gave it an 8.

Assuming they write their own material, why is it in a key the singer can't handle?
And today, the App wouldn't let me skip to the next song. What fresh hell is this?

This is almost a perfect song. The notes he hits in the chorus "brightside" just don't quite resonate with the rest of the song for me.
Man I am sooooo tired of this song. But I like that it gives me that feeling of familiarity that I'm at Radio Paradise... so I have mixed feelings.

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight
when the wheels come down
A Wonderful tune! I rated it with 8! 
Just heard this live at The Gorge Amphitheatre! Being honest, went for their opener, Gregory Alan Isakov.
But the crowd stood the whole time for The Lumineers. So so neat being in a crowd of adoring fans.
