Remember the jolt of energy you got, back in the day, when you heard an exciting new song for the first time?
It’s likely that you’ll get that same rush listening to “Say It” by Houndmouth, Dave’s selection for this week’s “Whatever.”
It’s fun, upbeat, feelgood; perfect for a listen first thing in the morning or at the end of the day. I was humming the hook right away.
It’s a combo of roots music and rock n’ roll. Snappy, and catchy, but grounded, not silly. Hip but not juvenile.
What’s so great about listening to a new, popular song is that it’s so much more than 3-minutes of good sounds, it’s also a way to connect with the world that’s around us– the prevailing points of view, the way things work–it’s energizing, stimulates ideas, keeps us sharp. As Martha Stewart would say, “it’s a good thing.”
