Download: Hope You Feel Better by The Sweet Life
Just because Swedelife and Sweet Life sound similar doesn't mean the name of either was made up in some drunken giggle fest.
Hope You Feel Better is a richly textured track filled with layers of a choir, distortion, and a crunchy finish with a pop sheen. A testament to the super producer.

Tim, for a period of time, sent me multiple Sweet Life and Baby albums, that mixed stuff from old sessions, variations of old songs, and new nuggets of joy. The song was on one of them.
As I recall, this is actually a track from the Sugarrush sessions, Tim's "sell out" project, which produced some fine pop gems, this one included. Even when Tim is trying to sell out, he still outputs some genius tunes.
Hey, it's December, so why not a song about the girls of summer? Amen.

Some of you might think that the band The Sweet Life has something to do with the name of this site... You'd be correct in your assumption. When naming any thing, it takes a bit of imagination. One's imagination is usually enhanced by a nip of the old "crazy mcbluejuice" if you get my meaning. So there's a band called The Sweet Life... Wouldn't it be funny if it was "the Swede Life?" Isn't that hilarious? Let's go buy that domain name! Swedes are funny!
The Bacharach Years is a sweet album. It's chock full of tracks inspired by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Take a Chance on Happiness is a pretty song.

I'm not sure why this is an m4a, but whatever. Most of you should be able to handle it.
A great cover of the Guided By Voices classic. Not much more to tell you other than I think this version sounds pretty good. I like it.
