Annoying and catchy. Like Counting Crow with testosterone. 

What's that? "5 Decent" "3 Formulaic" 

Do more listens make it more catchy or more annoying?

Lyric sucks. Okay. 2.

I don't know whether I find this piece irritating or interesting.  The opening is annoying and the singer sounds a little too much like the guy from Crash Test Dummies for me take his voice seriously...

...but that's a mighty catchy chorus hook.

I thought I heard Michael Glibicki's voice.
Nice to hear them on RP.

Looking at the lyrics, which are pretty abstract, I suggest that he obeys his woman's every touch. It seems to me a kind of awkward way of saying that he really like, digs her, or something. Her every touch commands him.
 

I came on to post the exact same question.  I have to say, "Wooooooaaaaa, Dr. Hooey!"  Very good, I never would have thought of that, but it is a very plausible interpretation!  And one that raises the song up 3 or 4 notches in my estimation.  I have know women with that kind of touch, and it is the law!

They're from Pittsburgh.

Got to play with them a few times when I still lived there. Good stuff.

Haven't heard this new one before. I'm liking it though.

Oh Wow!!! I so totally DON'T agree....I like it a lot. That being said, I don't understand what "hands are law" means. But that's ok.

Nice groove suggesting motion. Good hand-claps and I like the female voices in the background. Nice tune. A definate 7.

Bill, I'm truly hoping your nomadic diversity someday translates into true diversity in the playlist. "Featured Artists" suck the life out the stream. Not to mention it creates a paradise/hell paradox.


Oh wow, I totally agree!

Have been a Rusted Root fan since their first indie release and still love them. No they are not perfect and as has been said here before, they are much better live than a studio album can translate. This release is a big improvement over recent releases and I do rather like this song. P.S.MICHAEL GLABICKI does allow the women in the band to do lead singing on their own songs on this and past releases.

I'm starting to like RR... the first time I heard them was on the "Twister" Soundtrack of all places, and didn't think much of them... The more I hear, though...

Hey, aint that the guitar riff from Paul McCartney's Listen What The Man Said? Pretty much so, I think.
Kinda like the song. His voice is the right one for a melody like this one. Don't know if I would appreciate a whole album with him as a singer, though.
