Seriously, I was having lunch at my local watering hole yesterday when that came on the restaurant's Pandora channel, and I just about fell off of my bar stool at how glorious it is. I don't know how to describe it, really; obviously, it's a little bit 60s Top 40 influenced, although not in a blatantly retro way, and if I had to compare it to anything specifically, the closest I could come is to Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" (mostly for the guitar riff, 'natch). But damn, the whole thing is instantly addictive, and the bass player is doing stuff so beautiful in the second half of the song that I want to shoot him for being so much better than me.
In any case, let's just say that having discovered that song I'm in a lot better mood than I've been in for at least a couple of weeks.
I should add that...
Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain/ I just thought it didn't rain in California...
...is now my favorite opening line to any pop/rock song ever.
