Man, "Black Water" by the Doobie Brothers is most excellent on a Lemonade high! The Meat Puppets "Backwater" is probably just as uplifting with massive amounts of sugar pounding within my brain, but I didn't have it on hand at the time.
Had to listen to Justin Currie's "What is Love For"'s title track on the way too and back from work. Three minutes of ache, like Neil Diamond covering Lionel Richie's "Hello", but just the sappy part. Wait, the whole of "Hello" is sappy. Okay, the really sappy part. This song is amazing because it eschews normal pop structure. No minor verse to major chorus BS here. The ebb and flow tension exists within its own lines, which aren't necessarily verses or choruses, but both. It should be on commercial radio and should be a hit, but it's probably being ignored by the "golden ears" of corporate ville as I write. Therefore, this single makes my "Must Have Singles" list and deserves to be the sappy song in some romantic comedy.
