Great song and a movie worth checking out.
Sad trivia fact: Fountains of Wayne's late, great Adam Schlesinger (who passed during the Covid pandemic of related causes) is the mastermind behind the song, the band, all of it. One of the greatest humans I ever had the pleasure of meeting.
zoejane There are so few bands out there that can do that "wistful pop" thing like FOW could -- ironic or downcast lyrics with slightly upbeat sounds (happy/sad). Not sure this song qualifies but it might be my favorite of theirs -- very much a Who situation, Adam's songs given voice by Chris. I loved them a ridiculous amount. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JtFJ_sIrLg
In Ann Arbor there is a dock where everybody and their mother tans and drinks beer and listens to music and swims and it’s the loveliest thing in the world!!!! I’ve started going every afternoon to read and soak up the sun and smoke pot 🫶
