Song of the Day: Falling Down the Stairs of Your Smile

Today’s song is Falling Down the Stairs of Your Smile by The New Pornographers.

Indie/ Powerpop.
This is just a cool song. Weird, a killer hook, and a neat blend of vocals.
Those drums hit hard and really draw out focus for the lyrics.

There were too many dress ups, not enough child’s play.
Too many stopped clocks, not enough time saved.

So this group is a musical collective, which explains the eclectic mix on display here.

The vocal back and forth is fun, especially with the harmonies involved.
As you pay attention to the backing you notice just how many distinct vocalists there are.
Each listen draws your focus elsewhere and it all blends into a cohesive song (with some excellent drums to keep the pace).
