To my ears they almost sound pitch corrected.  Hard to tell when it's done properly though.

Good song, 

this song says nothing to me.....

That's just one way of looking at it. The success of a song to inspire or simply to bring a bit of joy does not depend upon the complexity of the arrangement or the degree of imagination involved. In fact some of the most-loved songs have very simple arrangements - think early Beatles, Buddy Holly, etc.

I have to agree with coloradojohn on this one even though this is the first time I've heard this song. The singer's high notes are not really bad, they are in key and well sung. The production may be have a bit of a flat sound due to its simplicity, but again, that doesn't prevent good songs from bringing joy to its listeners.

As an audiophile (of sorts) I enjoy well recorded, well produced, and oftentimes complex music through a true hi-end system, but at the same time, I can enjoy listening to a great song even through a clock radio.

Just my $.02 worth.

wow, such a contrast between a superlative-filled comment and the true quality of this song, which is mediocre at best. At least in terms of vocals (the singer's high notes are really bad), melody (simple and unimaginative), instrument playing (again, very simple) and mixing and production (flat sound, almost no changes in tempo). just boring...

Never fails to make me feel better...absolutely awesome melodies, harmonies, percussion — all of everything in the spectrum!  And I love the way they kick it up into high gear toward the end!  WHAT A GREAT SONG, now, and the first time I heard it!

They have better songs, but it's stil a good standard

nice

They're back out on tour—go see 'em. Great show. http://www.guster.com/

Love love LOVE them!!!!!! Perfect for a sunny friday!!

Saw them this past Saturday night at Constitution Hall—a family affair no less with Mrs. Lizard and Baby Lizard, who passed up her HS homecoming dance for Guster...how cool is that? They were fabulous. Their encore was to wade into the crowd, equipped only with acoustic instruments (Brian shook an Egg) and do one last number before racing into the foyer and out on to C Street to be swallowed whole by the night—or maybe a waiting car. These guys haven't forgotten who got 'em where they are.

Oh please. You can't tell? OUCH! PLEASE MAKE THE AUTO-TUNE STOP!

Not a bad song, but for me,  it lost four points for being Auto-tuned! 3.

HATE Auto-tune!

lol

It would be really nice to know if this is autotuned.

Meh. They do have some good songs though.

Same here! And they're now two of my favorite bands.

Just to second that emotion about playing Gomez and Guster back to back.... Great sense of what's right, Bill!

Guster and Gomez B2B—two of the better bands to emerge in the last decade, neither of which I was aware before RP.

Thanks for playing Guster and Gomez back to back, Bill!  I always get those two mixed up for some reason.

They're all done by hand (bongos, etc) on this album (and, in fact, all of their first three albums) which is why they have a strange sound.

Great song, though!
