Album Notes & Community Reviews

Historically notable for being the first pop song to open with a fade-in, bringing a sense of approaching momentum to the bright, driving arrangement. The relentlessly optimistic A-side is brilliantly contrasted by the moody, Everly Brothers-influenced country-rock stylings of the B-side.
