This Wisconsin band incorporates a variety and blend of musical styles. On this song, shimmering guitars and a pounding organ line provide the backbone while powerful vocalist Julia Blair infuses '70s soul into a country-rock melody drenched in dynamite echoing backing harmonies. It's got Motown sensibilities filtered through the Band's harmonies. Lyrically, it seems to be a warning to someone blind to something holding them back. "All the rubble you've been hauling around is a sight to see / So all the things you've done for him now are too sweet."
"A great song mutates, makes quantum leaps, turns up again like the prodigal son. It crosses genres. Could be punk rock, ragtime, folk-rock, or zydeco, and can be played in a lot of different styles, multiple styles... A great song is the sum of all things." - Bob Dylan
