Song of the Day Thing #83

So uh, I guess it's National Dog Day or something. Guess I'll just push this song of the day up a bit for the dog jokes and stuff. This song has a really interesting melody, I like the buildup from the minimal instruments at the beginning to the swinging instrumentation the song gradually develops. The lyrics to this song are quite interesting as well, although I have to admit I'm not entirely sure what they all mean. My best guess is that this song is about an ending romance I think? Like, they're clearly losing that touch ("slow to acknowledge the knots in our laces") but they're trying to pretend it isn't happening, that everything is all right? That's what I got. I really like this song, I think Dr. Dog is pretty interesting from what I've listened to so far, they have a pretty unique sound in my experience.

    Oh hey Dr. Dog, that's a band I've been meaning to check out but never actually did. Perhaps I should do that soon, they played in New Haven recently actually. Not entirely sure what album to start with though, any thoughts on that? xP

    Uh, good question. We All Belong is pretty good from what I've heard, perhaps that would be a good start. I've not fully explored their discography myself so I'm a bit at a loss but yeah. I'll say We All Belong.
