This song is an example of a tune that I LOVED SO MUCH at first and it slowly grew somewhat stale for me. Seems as though the songs that have more longevity to me are the ones that I slowly like more and more as I hear them...This one was great right away...and it has since succumbed to the fate I just mentioned.

A great pop tune for sure, but Archie hit the nail. Alanis must be a little curious about this one. It than becomes a STP inspired piece, all hail the Vedderites...

Good song, not my favourite, but good, nice vocals.

But I would agree that musically the verse is...uhm, inspired? by Uninvited by Alanis Morisette.  I just find it a little too close for comfort...

After some ups and downs on my life I should say that I'm getting to it again, but I think I'm not yet - this song is really a good one. Congratulations for radioparadise for sharing this with us, and most of all - thank you very much! You're the best!

Hey, Bill:  What happened to RadioParadise bumper stickers?  I had a few once upon a time, but don't see them on the "Stuff" page.  Spreadin' the word, you know.

I agree about the live thing. Palladia runs an older festival where Gomez performs this live sans the banjo and it takes the song to another level- makes this version seem tame by comparison.
 
YES! I have a video of one of their live concerts....Outstanding version of this song live....Ben cranks it up several thousand notches st the end of the song......yep!

I am not talking about songs with Ben Ottewell on vocals, but a lot of recent Gomez songs sound just as if they were performed by Michael Buble, crazy as that may sound.  Thankfully we don't hear them on RP.

How bout not? Why didn't you just say Mozart? This sounds like Creed about as much as it does Mozart which is not very much.

I somehow thought this was a 7. Silly me. Totally an 8!
 
Next time I hear it, maybe it'll go even higher. I found myself turning it WAY up today...!  {#Music}

Super group, super album, great song. After all the years, and the number of times I've listened to this, I still get goosebumps and a thrill. Good thing RP didn't play anything from their last few albums. I love this driving, I love this in the evening, I love it with red wine, her shoes thrown off under the table lit with candles ...

Gomez answers Steve Martin's assertion that you can't have a sad banjo...

PLEASE less looping, and not only for this song, for all songs, you have a huge library, why all the looping all the time?!!
{#Headache}

 
RP is basically Bill deciding what sounds or segues well together. Two big reasons you see the looping: he did a good job putting the songs together the first time, and he probably wants to sleep on occasion. Besides, the loops are days long, not top 40. If it really bugs you they've added a really cool PSD button. I hardly use it though. I love this station.

You do not need to apologize for this voice.  The best in my opinion, so far as good, real Rock goes.  I would give Karen O 2nd place.

Fully second that!  I've been a fan for years due to exposure from RP.  Got to see them in August in Anaheim (Disneytown, actually).  Wow! What a band.

My brother pointed me to radio paradise.  I am an old grad student at 60, so I am slow and spend a lot of time writing papers - grateful for the music.  I have been exposed to so many great bands, like Gomez, that I would have missed entirely.  Haven't watched commercial radio or tube for decades.
