a song to make you happy.

so i've loved the shins these long years, that's no news story. and then when their latest album "wincing the night away" came out, i was really predisposed to like the song "australia," what with having the ties with australia that i am blessed to have. but then i heard the song, and it was bouncy and happy, and i really liked the music. and then i listened to the lyrics, and they were really good. then yesterday i stumbled upon this video. and what can i say, it makes me happy! i hope it does the same for you.

jo--you already know I love this song because we are music twins (ok, I just want to be a twin today for some reason---it's like it's own secret world!)

but i hadn't seen the video, thanks for sharing.

I dig Australia. I can't wait to see it one day!

Have you been Jo?
