Wonderful little song that I heard this week. The kind of track that turns up in a YouTube rabbit hole at the exact moment you needed it and then refuses to leave your head for the next four days. Light arrangement, sincere vocal, no overproduction — basically the opposite of everything the charts were doing in 2012. There’s a tagged-on-to-the-title bit about whether the future is becoming less free, which feels heavier reading it back over a decade later. Some songs you put on because they’re huge. Some you put on because they’re small. Put this one on.
