Hear this song at work every day. Never can really hear what she is saying but the horn really sticks out. Finally just stood under the speaker today to pick out the words from the hook. Googled the lyrics and here I am.

Dearest Laura Viers,

Most hope you'll find a huge appreciation here in Denver town so you can headline Red Rocks like you deserve. Pike's Peak misses you so much, and so do we! Love, Park County and Denver too!

[goldsmice]

The horn section is what makes this song. Without it, it would be mediocre, but because of it, it is AMAZING!

[arrain08]

I can't express how I feel everytime when I hear it. It makes me dizzy n addict, so I keep repeating it over n over n over again.

One of my favourite songs.

[motifontheback]

there's something about her music and her voice that makes me sometimes think of her as female version of the lead vocalist of The Shins. it'd be interesting to hear them together, any song that they'd make together would be a fantastic one!

[1957thack]

Great Cut!!

[HelenKellersDog]

I keep hearing this song at work. Oddly enough, this is one of my favorite songs that is played on the music playlist at work.

Great job with the thoughtful lyrics, and the brass instruments (at least I think it's brass) are the icing on the cake.

[W3R3W00F]

Yeah, just kind of amazing.

[AviatorAndyK]

CBC rdo 2!

[olddoowoop64]

the only good song on the CD is I can see your tracks, the rest is boring.

[yesrelation]

@olddoowoop64 Wrong! The whole CD is amazing!

[tamcon72]

@olddoowoop64

I fail to understand how anyone can consider this song "boring." It's almost epidemically catchy!

[tooskyblue]

Good audio quality!

[Tampa0123456789]

Heard this while at the supermarket. Alwayse wonder who it was. It sounds so fresh.

[RootsinBrooklyn]

Beautiful? Ya think? ....Honey Wax? Makers and Melters?

Thought she needed rodent teeth? "tough iron filings"?

Could you explain, please, Laura.

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

Heard it on KCRW.

[dupunka]

Laura Veirs has no competition for me :)

[tamcon72]

This reminds me of Ivy. Similar delivery and scoring. Great song in and of itself, though.

[withinspace]

Heard it on the radio too. Love it!

[Giamatti]

beautiful .

gotta love rich terrrfry too

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

@Giamatti

what the hell is a 'terrrfry'

[tamcon72]

@TENNSUMITSUMA

Rich Terfry, host of CBC Radio 2's "Drive" show in the p.m. He also records and performs as hip hop artist Buck 65.

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

@tamcon72

dont know him, never heard of that station or 'buck 65'

but what does he have to do with this song

[tamcon72]

@TENNSUMITSUMA

People up-comments were saying they searched for this song here after hearing it on heavy rotation on Rich Terfry's show on Canadian radio. Her music is popular up in the Great White North :)

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

@tamcon72

huh. is she from canada

[tamcon72]

@TENNSUMITSUMA

Nope; Portland, Oregon.  But if you are able to receive CBC Radio 2 wherever you are[they have podcasts also], and listen to even a bit of Rich Terfry's show, you'll see Laura Veirs's music fits well with that format: They really like eclectic singer/songwriters on "Drive."

[ZachHasGlasses]

I absolutely love her voice and style.

[333sarahD]

haha seems like we all heard it on radio 2! must be getting a lot of airplay :) beautiful.

[AviatorAndyK]

same here, solid tune!

[CeleseleC]

This is a great song!
