Picking just one Maccabees song to listen to is a little like opening a box of whatchamacallits.
Sometimes, you want the pretty thing, the one that'll sparkle gently in the light. And sometimes, you want the jangly, clangy thing, the one that you can shake like a mad yoke, and clack and clatter and spin around to.
Right now, with winter biting at my fingers and toes, warm songs are the business. Toothpaste Kisses hits all the right spots. It tingles like a lover's warm breath on the back of your neck in the morning, delicious and intimate. Plus? For the video, they asked for a couple who had been together for more than forty years to share their photos. Lovelylovelylovely.
Check out some of their othersongs, too. This one stands out like a sore thumb (the most beautiful sore thumb I'd ever seen).
