Song title: Finding You
Artist: The Go-Betweens
Year: 2005
Why I like this song:
Oh the Go-Betweens. One of the greatest 'should've beens' in the history of popular music. If they were a TV show, they'd be Firefly. And yet they remain eternally on the fringes of mainstream success whilst less-deserving acts get in the ARIA Hall of Fame (yes Daryl Braithwaite, I am looking at you)
Having got that out of my system, this does indeed play to the strengths of the Go-Betweens: Jangly guitars, great vocals and lyrics that are nigh-impossible to find some form of universality. It's the last gesture of a band from what would become their final album. And, seeing as I've heard many bands end on a sour note, that is a very rare thing.
