I love this track. I love this band. Full disclosure: I’ve booked Mojave (pronounced like the desert – “Moe Hahv ee”) at a few venues I’ve been involved with, and shared the stage with them too. LJ, the cool lead singer and rhythm guitar player delivers this track the same way she comes across in person. She’s calm, insightful, and you get the feeling if you got on the wrong side of her you would come out on the losing end. Her voice is crystal clear and up front in the mix where it belongs. Paul on lead guitar adds just the right amount of hook lines and still supports the overall sound. No grandstanding.

Philly on violin weaves in sinuous harmonic lines, again, always supporting the whole. The Toronto session drummer should also get some kind of medal for his/her contribution.

There’s an ominous and contained feel in this song. Like something’s going to blow. But LJ’s voice also carries a pleading quality that suggests she’s still in love with the rascal of her affections. Tina Dico, formerly with Zero 7, should cover this song.
