Song title: Pick You Up
Artist: Powderfinger
Year: 1996
Why I like this song:
1996. The year that a lot of people, myself included, became aware of a Brisbane named Powderfinger.
This still song still sounds great two decades later although I can't help but think that it has something of a sinister edge to it: The lyrics express a form of devotion but the music suggests otherwise.
I'm not sure of that was the intent but this ambiguity makes the song compelling - and a far cry from the radio friendly material that would follow.
