how did I miss this til now?
This song has the feel of a classic to me... like something you'd hear on an oldies station for 50 years in a row because it has such resonance with a generation!
Good call getting the Merritts involved! They should change their last name to Midas because everything they touch turns to gold!
But it helps to start with a good song in the first place, and that's surely the case here!
