The first song "Warm", pulls from influences as inspired as the Beatles, Beck, and U2. A strong bass line and heavy beat recalls experimental rock songs from the Sgt. Pepper album and it packs enough wallop that it should be the opener in Long's set.
As with all of the songs, influences are filtered through an amazingly original voice. That deftly crafted voice carries the songs from mere catchy tunes into a more elegant classification of brilliant songwriting.
The most popular song, "Astronaut", finds it's legs in sounding familiar yet miles away. It's a combination of perfectly placed notes and hooks that jump out at the listener.
Vocals from lead singer Jake Ryan Long are warm and tubey, intimate yet mysterious. Many bands such as Hooverphonic attempt this same technique. It's popular in the indie scene, but here it sounds more like late John Lennon in "Imagine" and "A Day in the Life". The vocal hooks boom with a modern edge and rugged masculinity.
The lyrics are simple but pull with a magnetism of an old story you'd almost forgotten. In 'Back to You', the artist reminisces, "Pictures on the wall, memories this tall, hard to forget, won't get too upset." It's lyrics like this and, "Messages from you, on my computer too, texting back and forth, plans to head up north," that make many songs simple, plain, and downright catchy. Certainly there is an air of Pink Floyd in the delivery of such lines. Some songs experiment with innovative sounds much like "The Killers" and "MGMT" in their respective freshman years, though it remains to be seen if Jake Ryan Long is also plucked from obscurity.

80's movies are unrealistic but incredibly addicting

And you know if Molly Ringwold is in it, it’s the 80’s.
Alex Martin
You just didn't live it. It was magic.
Jimi Lemanski
Wrong, it was definitely a down right portrayal of what it was like growing up then
PSYCHOTIC MILKSHAKE

@Jimi Lemanski a father allowing her daughter to miss her other daughter's wedding reception all because she cant wait a few hours to hang out with her crush? LOL yeah I dont think so.

What really touched my heart was the expression on the dads face where he sees his daughter having a dream come true moment and I also feel like he let her not go to the reception to be with her dream guy as a way to make up for forgetting her birthday

One of the best movies ever, with one of the best soundtracks ever. And I find it hard not to squeal when Michael smiles while biting his lower lip. It's both sexy and shy at the same time.
BooklionsUnite
Well I find it very awkward when ANYONE does that. Just like in you belong with me. Seriously? Are you expecting a kiss and can't wait? What does it mean!

crazy music, must have been cheaper to pick obscure UK music that you didn't have to sacrifice your left kidney for.
