Rediscovering Amorica
July 19, 2017
Is it optimistic or pessimistic? I can’t quite tell. Depends on mood. It could make me cry or lift me up.
This week, I listened to it on repeat and blaring in the car with the windows down.
I love it on it’s own and in the context of the rest of the album, Amorica. It’s from a time when an album mattered, and the flow of this one is near perfection from the raucous beginning to the more somber close.
Want to enjoy it for a few minutes? Appreciate a beautiful acoustic version here or search for a rocking jam version. Lament with me that brothers Chris and Rich Robinson are unlikely to ever perform live together again.
More shaker!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this song before. I love it too. and I think it is both optimistic and pessimistic at the same time. Is that possible?
