I agree. So many people, on this forum and in general, are wannabe hipsters who have the mindset of older=better and newer=worse when it comes to music, and particularly DMB.
I also find humor in the masses that quickly criticize the musical merits or songwriting elements of this song, but yet the majority of these people (Presumably) have never written a song, played a musical instrument, or studied music in any organized fashion. And before you flame, I do realize that everyone is entitled to their opinion and you don't have to be a musician to appreciate and enjoy music. It
does help though when you wish to discuss specific elements of a song
intelligently.
Overall, I am thankful for the release of this song and looking forward to hearing more from the new album. I like the diverse sound to the song, the Latin influenced elements, the compound meter, and particularly enjoyed Jeff's solo section. I also liked the vocal timbre of Dave's voice, particularly on the bridge section. As numerous posters have cited, I did not care for the children's chorus and agree with the likelihood of this being a Lillywhite influence.
