The song was playing on the radio the year I met my wife. Obviously it gets a totally unbiased 10 from me. 
Still in love.

Yeah, like others, I got fooled too, his voice is Michael Stipe-ish. But not the music, it's more standard and/or less eccentric then REM.

It's funny, because I have a CD that has a bonus track of Josh performing one of his songs live, and a guy I used to work with at a music store argued with me that the song was actually REM (even though I have Josh's CD and knew it was his song). There must be something there, with so many people hearing it, but the only thing Josh and Michael Stipe have in common, in my opinion, is that they're both from Georgia.

Anyway, about this song...not the best on this CD. Solidly average. Check out some of his others, though.

 
His phrasing and high notes sound similar to those of Stipe.  I'm not saying he's ripping off the style - it's just the way he sings. I hear the Matthew Sweet similarity as well.

Five, IMHO:
Matter, Gravity, Here I Am, Undone, I've Changed.
My favorite is Undone, for those grim moods, though all the songs are rather grim.
This track is the one that I definitely DON'T listen to.

I can't wait for this song to end it's medium weight late-eighties sounding rock. Oh good it just ended, and I've deleted it from my brain.
