I love this song sm. Rock n roll love confession. A classic for me. There’s never a lull, with the timing of the back up vocals and guitar licks and the lyrics feel so pronounced they’re unavoidable. No wonder he inspired Elliot Smith. Feels like a 70‘s summer.

This album slaps from start to finish. A.M. 180 is the breakthrough hit but Summer Here Kids is my personal favourite.

Specifically "Canola Fields" by James McMurtry. I feel like the older I get, the more this sort of songwriting resonates. It's impossible to escape. Even if you're not a dad yet, the dad rock finds you. Be warned.
Anyway, one of the lines is so simple, yet poignant, and, to me, that's the true hallmark of good songwriting. The line: "cashing in on a thirty year crush, you can't be young and do that". It reorients aging in a way that really struck me. Smashing together the childish and the mature and flipping the usual loss/gain calculus. Showing that just as there are certain things unrecoverable to the old (that humming freshness of youth!), there are also things that are incomprehensible to the young. It's a dialectic, and romance and beauty come in many forms.

Currently obsessed with this British rock group from the 80’s. Can’t believe I’ve just now discovered this group.

Inspired by 80‘s production, this song feels bigger than itself. End credits of a movie vibe. Reflective of passing youth. In layered, reverb laden vocals he sings “Growing up is never easy…Wrong enough to say I’m sorry. Owning up to things I can’t undo.” It’s great for a drive alone thinking on all the things that’ve passed you by and all that has yet to arrive :)
