Re: If Only
I am really digging this new tune. It's a simple, yet extremely catchy melody, Dave's vocals are really fun to listen to, and I keep hitting replay - all the aspects of a hit song in my opinion. I always appreciate the band's complex and layered tunes, but when they stumble upon a simple groove that doesn't need time changes and flourishes to make it a great time to hear, I think that deserves just as much appreciation.
Think about Seven Nation Army for instance- that song is extremely catchy, but simple and straight forward - the 7 opening notes of the tune is what make it unique and that hook sticks in your head. It's not Jack White's most complex composition, but its the song that brought a mainstream fanbase and tons of airplay. I think this new tune has "radio hit" written all over it, and it doesn't try to hard to be that like FTWII did for instance.
