I beg to differ, I listen to music for pleasure. However I have a ‘each to their own’ attitude to life and feel no need to push my views on others.

I logged in just to give this the "Sucko-Barfo" rating, which I've never done for any other song on RP.  No, no, no, no, no - not even after repeated listens have I been able to warm up to this insipid stuff.

is this a child singing? bleh.

I like this song very much.  My scale is strict, however.   So, 7.

Adorable song w/ huge barbed hooks!  6 —-> 8

What a pleasant song.

Simple, sweet yet a little on the wet side at the same time. Not for me thanks.

Hmm. There's an awful lot to be said for simple, pretty song. Then again, if music is your drug, your escape, who is anyone to argue? But before you blast off into orbit, consider this: it was always better then than now, and, no, there isn't anything more. All you have is what you see and what you can imagine. Life is what you make of it. But I digress. You were one your way somewhere. Bon voyage.

There must be more!! We're using music to escape from this disconnected, hyper-urban world that we live in. Music must reach ever-increasing extremes or else remind us of times in our lives where things were better than they are now. It is not about pretty songs, it's about the high.

Not like every other song. Clever lyrics. Intricate rhythms. Nice weaving of the two. Good harmonies. So it's more subtle than standard Lite pop fare.

I'm only answering because you ask mind you. The composition is nice if you're into sleeping, the lyrics are meaningful to some people I suppose, but the voice. Ugh. It's all through the nose. Like she just got done weeping for hours. I know their name is Weepies, so maybe it's intentional. But really. If it is they should be wiped off the face of the earth and their belongings given to charity.

I kind of run hot and cold with these two, but this song sounds so much like every other song on "Love FM" or other "Lite" office-background FM stations that it just seems to have no substance at all. I'll give it a 6 since it is far better than some of the other hip and trendy stuff being overplayed here and elsewhere.

Simple and sweet. All in all, nothing wrong with that.

Grows on  you.

I adore this band...perfect rainy Thursday afternoon drinking gin and painting still lifes in an old t-shirt music. 

When i first heard this song i thought she was singing "no im not on coffee, no im not on crack" and thought it was hilarious. What a disappointment, now this song lacks something..

Neat, sweet, and fun to play with a capo.  Elegant in its simplicity.

Oh, and I totally agree with utt73 about how strong memories can lock you into a song.  And vice-versa. 

Nice light romantic pop.  There's room for that in my world.  Good choice!

I dated a girl who loved the Weepies. She was lovely, and breezed out of my life as quickly as she came into it. It makes me miss her, hearing this... a beach in Mexico, green eyes, a purple dress, azure sky & sea and soft stuff like this -- good memories like her are what music is supposed to invoke.

I think good & memorable music is more related to what you were doing when you hear it, and who/what is associated.

Thanks RP, once again, for the smile.

A bit too sweet, isn't it? Teeth-meltingly sweet, even.

And something about sweet is more enjoyable when it's simple.

No, no, no, no!

Don't know "The Weepies" but this is quite catchie...!

What a GREAT contrast between the lyrics and the sound.

Deb Talan has such a special voice. it's dreamy with something sweet added in for good measure
