This is a song that I heard and had forgotten about for a year a two. Then one day the melody popped in my head and I had to dig through all my music to find it. Once I did, I realized Chad VanGaalen had written an essential tune. VanGaalen writes thoughtful and sometimes challenging tunes, but I find this to be one of his simpler and sweeter songs. Again, I decided not to rearrange this song, finding it worked as is.
