 | Nobody´s talking about the new song ?
Sounds like a Nashville interpretation of Sunny Day....

| The song credit goes completely to Edie Brickell. So, it is a song in which Simon appears. |

 | We have a Starbucks -- thought they just sold coffee there. I´m cheap and make my own coffee -- they´re selling music? |

| Sounds alright. It´s not bad but its not something I´d go crazy to hear either. Kinda just background music. So I guess this is what their duet album is going to sound like. |

| Yes, you are right.
Very simple song & lyrics. Don´t think that Paul spent 3 months on it, contrary to his standard on his own.
In fact, as mentionned, it is not *his* song. We can still feel SBOSW influence here and there in some sounds (chimes, harmonica). |

This tumblr account uploaded the song for those of you who haven´t heard it yet. It´s a pretty simple song like Mog said, but a happy tune nonetheless. |

 | I Love it. Like most of Edie´s songs happy and joyful. The new Gaddabouts album pretty good too. |

 | Nice and cheerful song, shows you how to enjoy the simple things of life, be happy with small things and appreciate what you have, in that way it´s not a very simple song but an intelligent song.
Thanks for the link Mike!
Agree with Brenda, the new Gaddabouts album "Look Out Now" is very good, very jazzy.

| Now for me, it is Feeling Groovy meets Sunny Day à la Edie. |

 | I take mob´s point - that it doesn´t sound as though there´s been the same painstaking sonic approach taken on Pretty Day as on PS´s solo work... On first listen it does sound like a jolly fine ´throw away´ song - couple of voices and guitars, pleasing sounds. But, listen again.. On my second listen - and using only inbuilt laptop speakers I heard Mouth harps, harmonicas, background vocals, background background vocals, various percussion, steel guitars..... Birdsong... Vocal effects... Actually supreme attention to detail in creating such a simple sounding song. And it´s this meticulous recording and arranging style that I Love - a song that keeps growing time after time after time... |
