worldrecordplayer Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The better and better it gets. I was dancing my ass off to it yesterday.That song is friggin GREAT. Not some throw away. Totally agree. This tune has been in my head for weeks. Love it every time I her it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xTonyWonder Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I was not overly impressed the first time I heard it. Now though, I listen to it all the time. I love it. There is so much going on in that song that it took me a few listens to process it. Its a fantastic song. Here is a great acoustic version of it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Same here. It took me a few listens. I LOVE the released electric version. Does anyone have the lyrics?? I think its as good as any of the classics. I want to hear it every night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I Might Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It's such a layered song with so many subtle things going on in the background that it really benefits from repeated listens. Its definitely one I'm looking forward to seeing how it will be performed live. I also think its important to listen to it loud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Al.Ducts Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Official lyrics here Hey, look at this line: "It's in the cards, (oh, oh) Get Well Soon, EVERYBODY!!" So it appears that's where the working title came from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

choo-choo-charlie Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Dig the keys. Hope to hear more like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yeah I can listen to this over and over. I've mostly been listening to the terrific live versions from Solid Sound. Incredibly good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 What makes the song genius is that it initially comes off as an "easy rocker". If you listen a few times on a good system you can hear some really beautiful subtle layering in the course of the tune. Definitely more than it seems..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It also has a glockenspiel, so it's in compliance with the U.S. Indie Rock Code.Seriously, it is a GOOD song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lamradio Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yeah I can listen to this over and over. I've mostly been listening to the terrific live versions from Solid Sound. Incredibly good. I'm grabbing the 6/25 show now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I just noticed that on the live versions from Solid Sound, he doesn't say that "get well soon" line just before "Everybody." I know the line is sort of muttered under his breath anyway, but I definitely don't hear those words on either night's performance. I like the way he introduces it the second night by saying this is the only song they're going to repeat "if nothing else, just to beat it into your heads, cuz that's what you do when you put out a single. That's what the label told us to do." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 What's this "U.S. Indie Rock Code"You know, when that dude said what he said about seeing the future of rock 'n' roll, I bet he didn't have a clue that what he was really talking about was the pervasiveness of the glockenspiel in today's music.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The more I listen to it, I am struck by the groove. I am really beginning to be put off by the retro keyboard sounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fourfeathers Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 So far, this is the leading candidate for Song of the Year in my book. You know as soon as that organ comes in that you're in for a good four minutes. Then the chorus harmonies breeze in halfway through and just blow your mind. Just an amazingly well-constructed tune. Can't wait to see it live this fall! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 It also has a glockenspiel, so it's in compliance with the U.S. Indie Rock Code.Seriously, it is a GOOD song. I'm a sucker for glock. This is a damn fine song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino4evr Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 ive only heard I Might a handful of times, I didnt want to burn out on it by the time the album came out, which happens a lot with singles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
