This really is one of the all-time great pop songs. The theme is well-trodden, with artists all the way back to the Beatles having taken on this subject, but Comet Gain are the match of any of them. This single was recorded fairly early on in Comet Gain's second incarnation, and is featured on their recently-released Best Of, Broken Record Prayers. Everything about it is amazing, with the jangly introduction and bass building to a pop explosion which gradually dissipates over the next 3 minutes. It fundamentally has spirit in both the heartfelt lyrics and the music, something missing in so many songs these days. David Feck's voice really isn't the best, but something about his slightly out-of-tune warbling really fires me up. In the words of Silver Jews, 'all my favourite singers couldn't sing'.
