Sometimes, when times are tough and it seems like the world’s against you, a song like this can keep you going. A stunning mix of jangling guitars, sparkling harmony vocals, and a heart-wrenching lead vocal by Alex Chilton, this is my favorite song from my favorite album by the band often referred to as “the greatest band you’ve never heard”.

When I think you can’t surprise me, I hear a wonderful song that I never paid enough attention. You have the power to make us see the songs differently. Thanks a lot for one more.
Thanks, man!
