one song a day: song three | song that makes you happy

The Hold Steady is a band Matt introduced me to when he became obsessed with them—and for good reason, they're fucking amazing. In the past few years, I've seen them live more than any other band in my life and their shows are always amazing. This is my favorite Hold Steady song, I love the lyrics and just the general feeling of the song, the up and down, the build up and the quiet. And every time I hear it, I turn it up and every time we've seen the Hold Steady, they've played it and I sing along at the top of my lungs. Craig Finn is incredible on stage, he always looks like he's having the time of his life and that makes a live performance. Remembering how that feels, hearing your favorite song played live, just brings that rush of happiness each time I heard it, no matter where I am.

We're just dust in the spotlight, we're just kind of floating.
