It’s Friday, and why isn’t the day over already? This optimistic jam will help you power through today with a heart full of hope. Tuneful guitar melodies that decorate an uplifting chorus assure that the weekend is yours and it is ripe with possibilities.
Jon Brion hosts a weekly show on Friday nights, here in Los Angeles, at the Largo Theater. In a small, playhouse-like theater, the majority of the set is comprised of the crowd shouting out cover requests. To watch the musical genius, behind numerous soundtracks and pop culture albums, is a revealing glimpse into the layers in which this musician interprets songs. In fact, this photo was taken from the set of the Largo, as you can see Brion surrounds himself with all of the musical toys he will potentially play with in a night.
While this song adheres to a pop structure, that many of his other works deviate from, the tune is an example of Brion’s understanding of what it takes to make a wonderful Beatles-meets-Built To Spill like anthem.
So tap your toes to this one today because you’re on the cusp of a weekend that is anything but meaningless.
