I could have dittoed what you said---i'm glad there's good music in this world, I hear a lot of complaining but find great stuff on here and elsewhere in the last decade.

I kinda like that.
  
I can't listen to this song without thinking about your comment, Jelani.... I think it only adds to the absolute joy I feel when I hear it (it's on my CD player in my Sidekick now, and I can't seem to get past it - I just keep hitting "repeat.")  Today was a day off - I went in to work, but my boss said the temperature wasn't going to be warm enough to warrant watering the greenhouse and nursery plants, so I collected my paycheck, banked it, and played. The sky was so blue, the air so warm, traffic was moving slowly, as if they wanted to savor this blessed glimpse of true spring after all the rain, wind, and snow...

And I listened to this song, over and over, and I sang to it. I sang.  I haven't actually sung to a song for a long time, so the voice was husky and raw and off-key at first, but as I drove, I kept singing to the "woo oo oo oo oo hoo oo" chorus, and every time I did, I thought of you and smiled.

Holy cow.  I have a SOUL, and it's sorta happy now! {#Sunny}

It's really odd, I was scrolling through the comments looking for a reply from Cynaera on a comment I'd made on this song, and came across this. 
This wasn't what I was looking for; I had never seen this comment until now, and now it has started me crying. 

Cheers Cynaera...

Gave it a 6. Sounds like a modern Kenny Loggins song.

A very well expressed opinion. I disagree but found your post quite interesting.

Not sure about this one.  Kind of a poppy sound, different from what I&W I've heard previously.  Was across the room when it came on, thought it might be an obscure Loggins-Messina song from the 70s.

Uhg.  I was hoping this had been removed from the song list.     The lyrics here just strike me as incredibly inane.   Was Alanis Morissette a contributor?

Well now I've to get this on my latest mix C.D. for a trip up to San Luis Obispo.

Another great driving song.

It is a bittersweet song, like a Kumquat.
