So, Lindsey always had this thing for the 1950s. Remember, Oh Diane. That is what this song reminds me of, Oh Diane, from Mirage. I think this song will be much more appreciated in Europe just like Oh Diane was, which actually charted high in Europe.

To me, it's almost too simple, but I think the point of the song is the harmonies and I think the harmonies are excellent, so I'm giving this one a thumbs up. At least he produced this one more lushley than the last one which means there is hope for the album. I'm also feeling a Tango vibe, which I like.

In recent interviews looking back at Mirage, Lindsey indicated that pastiche is the last resort of the desperately unbothered. Yet, this is more than pastiche, an exploration of his musical inspirations, shared cultural heritage, and his musical kinship with Christine. It is appropriate. He accesses pop's sublime essence--like the 50s throwback group in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive.

I can think of no higher praise. Really.

Yes, I think you are right. This album is coming off as Noir piece. 1st we have as song that reminds me of the late 1960s and early 1970s British mystery theater movie soundtrack and now this 1950's piece. Instead of Film Noir. It's music Noir.

Thank you for this. It explains so well my thoughts and feelings about this song, but was unable to put it into words.

I Love It!!!

I voted love it. Definitely better than In My World imo.

I voted I love it, too. I'm just happy that Christine sings on it, that there is a nice melody and that is has a retro sound.

Sigh. Strike 2 for me.
Sounds like a boring adult contemporary song you'd hear on the credits of a Lifetime movie :-(

I'm still trying to figure out how to vote on IMW, but this one gets a "love it" before I've even finished my first listen.

Not for nothing but OP sorry you have TOO many choices in your poll that mean the same thing and we have to add up to find out if people actually like the song.
In the future can you just stick to:

I love it
It's ok
I don't like it
I hate it.

Simple. Just my opinion!

Its very catchy and upbeat.
Love it.

Not with that quirky, Lindsey Buckingham Brian Wilsonesque production. NO freaking way! Much better then that.

Choices 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 all mean the same thing. 3 and 7 are the same. 1 and 10 are the same. But you can't fault the OP for their enthusiasm!

3 and 7 are not the same. And there are levels to hate and love.

I LOVE that it's a little strange and off center. Can you imagine if Chris recorded this on her own? Lindsey balances her sugar with a little salt!!!!

This is good, catchy melody and love the 50s quirky production.

Lindsey did what he could with the production and the harmonies are nice but this is not a very good song IMO .Not sure how this could be considered Chris's best since Tango by some. Love Shines and Friend to name 2 are by far superior songs to this one.

Friend is an excellent song and I wish Lindsey would of produced that.

Feel About You is better than In My World.
I still want to like In My World but you've got to admit its kind of boring really.
This song is jaunty but I still have some production concerns...there are parts of it (that middle section) that sound really cheap and tinny like IMW.

Anyway, the journalist that said IMW was the best song on the album was wrong.

Feel About You is a much better advert for the album and should have come out first. The fact its come so soon after IMW makes me think IMW was only aver released as a 'political' statement.

:xoxo: :confused:

The bombays agree! lol

Methinks you two bombays are chiffonheads who want this to be bad??? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Personally, not my cup of tea. It's just too.....I don't know, it's lacking a punch to the gut. Sounds like something we'd almost expect to hear from a tape of unreleased reels, like its unreleased for a reason.

Still though, it's one song out of 10 and IMW was alright so I'm not totally discouraged yet about the project.

doggone this song keeps calling me back for more!
It's like happy Mac and a dream come true!

Nope ..I was rooting for it to be good just calling it as I see it and so far not very impressed ..oh well the week after Buckingham/McVie is released the greatest band to emerge in the last decade The Fleet Foxes will be putting out their first new one in 6 years and so far it sounds awesome.

It's a cute little ditty, but again, they should be singing together more. That's the magic they're known for.

so there's no option for me on your list. i think this song is super cute. bouncy bubbly cutesy simply melodic, reminescent of the musical times past. calling you to come back for more and listen over and over. like they had tons of fun making it.

while IMW was annoying me more and more which each subsequent listen.

Fleet Foxes
 

Always love it when I see someone else mention Fleet Foxes. It's like a band full of Graham Nashes. Beautiful music, even more beautiful vocals. Sorry to sidetrack, but I'm looking forward to that album more than this one...

It's a happy song and happy, summery songs seem rare to me. Going on vacation soon and I will be listening to this by the ocean.

I like it. Those harmonies in the chorus are glorious! It really could have used a guitar solo around the 2-minute mark (think Hold Me). The outro is nice but way too brief. The chorus is almost ABBAesque. I also get a bit of a McCartney vibe with it being so sugary sweet, but it is so damn catchy, you can't help but bop along with it. I'm not a big fan of the airy production, even on Tango. I prefer the richer sound of Mirage. Great to hear Chris and Lindsey together again. They still do compliment one another, even on lightweight material.

Same here..the Fleet Foxes are one of the few younger bands that know how to make an entire album.

I'll check that out. It sounds cool. I like new music.

To each their own.
I respect that.
I know I'm in the minority here.

We will get you a club card. lol..

I'm starting to like this... am I crazy?

No you are not crazy.
You like it.
I hope it's a hit for them and the album sells some decent units.
I just am not thrilled too much with the first songs chosen for being previewed.

I'm still not sure about them either. But they have both grown on me.

I apologize if someone else already mentioned this, but the piano and rhythm section in the chorus remind me of "Summer Nights" from Grease. Not in an over obvious way, but...

I'm almost over the keyboard voicings.. and there's some brilliant stuff in here.

As I stated previously, I cancelled my pre-order.
I'm going to legally stream the album on my paid Google Play subscription when it's released before I decide on a purchase.
