Lake Street Dive - Better Than
I am in love with this song. Sometimes the saddest of songs can make me the happiest. This song has a tinge of the melancholy, but its beautifully tempered tug-along tempo, the gorgeous wistful voice of Rachael Price, and the ambivalence of the lyrics, defeatist yet challenging, makes for a smiling, saddened joy. The joy of an adult who's comfortable in not knowing what's right, who's loved and lost and carried on. This is a song that makes you want to close your eyes and drift, only to open at the end, with a sigh, and a slight smile.
