If ever there was a song for the dying days of summer, it’s this 1997 Byrds-inspired song from Teenage Fanclub that celebrates apathy and accepting your meager lot in the prettiest fashion imaginable. “Here is a sunrise/Ain’t that enough?” But those harmonies! That most-jangly of all guitars! The way the entire thing feels like a pop song lullaby! This is almost irresistible to listen to, and when Gerard Love, Norman Blake et al sing “Who’s gonna argue?” you realize that sometimes it really does just feel good to surrender.
