THE biggest OF ALL TUNES (G.O.A.T.) is a series of posts, creating my 100 preferred tunes of all time. The master listing is here, as well as I update it about every two weeks or when I have one more 10 tunes or so.
The weirdoes won a Grammy! before 2005, moderate mouse were a strange, inaccessible indie band who made music that was extremely fascinating however so far from the mainstream that it didn’t even qualify for deep tracks on AOR. That all altered when they released, “Float On.”
In stark contrast (intentionally, according to bandmember as well as cowriter Isaac Brock) to whatever else mouse had ever done, Float On is about optimism as well as the power of positive thinking. It’s like that trite poster: “It’s not your aptitude that figures out your altitude, it’s your attitude!” The narrator hits a police officer car, however the authorities drive away without so much as a never-you-mind. He gets tricked out of some cash, however it was worth it just to discover some sleight of hand. Whenever I’m down, I play this song: It’s cynical sufficient that I don’t feel insipid for feeling better, however it’s likewise bright as well as shiny as well as full of hope.
It was the band’s very first as well as only #1 hit.
