Weekend Song – Matchbox Twenty

This little belter of a song is off the new Matchbox Twenty comeback album which was released this week. I hadn’t even noticed they were gone, and as far as I can think, I’ve never heard a song by them before, but there’s something about this that’s both infectiously relentless and relentlessly infectious.

Balls-out drumming, acoustic guitar getting hammered by the rhythm guy, everyone’s singing along to the chorus and my god I think we just might be OK.

We’re not perfect but we’re doing it, and with considerable style. Since I heard this song a month ago, I have not been able to get it out of my head and it deserves to be in more places.*

Say your goodbyes if you’ve got someone you can say goodbye to.
