I've been out of the indie music loop for well over twenty years, which means that all "new" indie songs I happen to discover are usually five-to-ten years old by the time I get around to hearing them for the first time.
Anyway, I stumbled upon the song No Woman by a band named Whitney about two or three weeks ago and find that I really like it.
The problem is, I don't know why.
I mean, I think the trumpet is great. At the same time, it seems somewhat out of place. The singer's nasally falsetto is charming but also grating. The song's lyrics are vague and minimal yet speak volumes. The mood hinges on depressing but is also sort of uplifting. The guitar melody is irritating but somehow magical.
Well, there it is. I like this song . . . but I couldn't tell you why.
