Jukebox the Ghost



The tinkling piano that opens the track "Good Day" tricks you into thinking that you are in store for a typical emo mope-fest. But there's surprising power in this song. Ranging from Ben Folds to Conor Oberst to the Postal Service, this song does a good job of never falling too far into any one expectation. The vocals and the keyboard play off each other well and there is a surprising amount of really finely crafted instrumentation in this song. The three minute track slides by far faster than it actually is.


This would go well around 10:30pm between a Morrissey track and a Coldplay track.
