I listened to a ridiculous amount of new music last year, a ton of it I liked, but this song ...

[Hugh_Lebowski]

It's just one of those tunes that makes me kinda misty. Which means I love it

The lyrics, the melody, the delivery, where her voice is just on the verge of cracking in the pre-chorus (dancing in my living room part ... it's hard to perfectly capture a feeling in the form of song, but that section just freaking nails it).

So, yeah, I know it was popular, but this is a case where a popular song ... is also an incredible song.

1. Christ that's good.

Not breaking any new ground but hitting everything nearly perfectly. A hair too much auto-tune for my tastes, but I’m a curmudgeon.

2. I'd have produced it a little differently, it's a tad bright for one thing ...

And you're right it's a basic 4-chord ballad ... but the lyrics are great, the vocals are great (esp. that pre-chorus ... man that is good!) and total package ... it's just really really good song. That steel guitar is HUGE in how good it is, I'd add.

Even by like, 1972 singer-songwriter standards

3. Snare sounds great as well.

So hard to get all the ingredients right in something like this. It’s way easier to hide behind layers of guitars and keys but all the elements have to be spot on in something this naked.

Well-crafted pop songs are such rare gems. Thanks for pointing this one out!

4. 👂

I heard a good song by someone named Pearl Charles recently. I just rediscovered an indie radio station here and it’s really interesting

5. Quite beautiful.

I close my eyes, and listen, and it is sweet. Thank you.
