Last night I started listening to the PDX Pop Now! 2010 compilation and I'm utterly floored by how many good songs are on it. Normally compilations (especially label compilations) are full of crap songs, maybe two out of every ten songs is worth listening to. I don't know why this is, it's just that way. However, this PDX collection is awesome; just in the first twenty tracks there are twelve good songs I might end up posting on here. This one, so far, being the awesomest.

I'm not sure exactly how this song is so awesome---it's a candidate for "Stuy wants to pick your brain and find out how you wrote this song" for sure, if I was ever to be famous and could, at short notice, interview any musician I wanted about whatever I wanted---but I am exactly sure that it is so awesome.

Namely I think the lyric "I know I can't see you like that 'cause I know you don't see me like that but tell me you see me like that because I see you like that-aht-aht-aht-ahht" is the most amazing thing I have ever heard in my entire life and I am so annoyed that I didn't think of it first, and the way she sings it, her voice, it's just perfect. This is pretty much an absolutely perfect song.

When I saw the name The Angry Orts I didn't expect this song, you know. I expected something different. Something that sounded like, say, Paul Revere and the Raiders. I don't know why, that's just how it is. Instead I got this song that makes my chest feel all tight: I'm jealous of the lyrics, want to move to the music, and I fall in love with her voice every time I hear it. Does a song get any better?
