Can't get this song out of my head
This was a minor hit when I was a lad. I can't find the original version anywhere on the net. I recall it had a lot more synths and vocal harmonies. This more recent version, however, is very pretty.
I love this song because from a strictly structural point of view, it's top-notch. There is definitely an A, B and C part. To me, this song does what a great song should do...it takes you on a ride. There are turns and twists, and you can hear the music ascend like it's going up a hill and then a release as it comes down the hill. Again, it sounds like a trip in a car. I love that. Lots of major/minor modulations too...kind of like someone's moods. One minute light and carefree, the next minute rather serious. The lyrics are also very conversational, telling a story along the way. Love it.
