Its just a pop rock song with a fat beat. I love Jason Mraz and John Mayer and mostly Justin Timberlake, and that's what I was channeling when I wrote this. I wrote everything except the chorus and bridge all at once and had to revisit the song later cuz I couldn't think of what the chorus should be. This also the only song with acoustic instruments, I played a banjo and acoustic guitar that my grandma gave me. I should probly mention that my grandma is the most amazing banjo player youll ever meet. I had no idea what to do with the banjo and acoustic mix wise. When me and Chris were doing the final mixes, he was like, 'um, take all the plugins off the acoustic and banjo and just eq it a little bit' and what do ya know, it sounded great. I guess I can't take the same approach I take to mixing drums to the banjo. I really like the hits in the last chorus it really helps it become more powerful. ALSO, that drum fill in the middle of the last chorus followed by that ridiculously long riff Joanna does. Mind blowing. OH and MADDIES SOLO! Rewind the song and go listen to it again. I was busy talking about how to mix acoustic guitars, but who cares. That girl can play, shes unbelievable.

Give Maddie more guitar solos, yewww.

[@ShaunStruwig]

2:56 The way Maddie Rice does the hair adjustment thing mid solo, hahaha... she's so freaking good. My favourite song off the album!

[@russnrach8]

Total boss move

[@thebalance6869]

Ahhh, that guitar solo was tasty! I just ran into the band....I now feel like I have hope for the future of modern music.

[@wimccarthy]

Awesome groove. Yet another great vocal from Joanna.

[@annieray90]

Who's listening in 2020??

[@svenrudolflindgren1883]

2021 😂 - still an awesome tune!

[@russnrach8]

2024

[@hansjoseph__]

I’m so sad this band isn’t active anymore! You guys are the weirdest, coolest, most talented band I’ve ever heard💕💕💕

[@joshuabrettmann5827]

Hey! I agree this band is so amazing I wish it was still active!

[@russnrach8]

Let’s petition them for a reunion!

[@bird10498]

Maddie! Maddie! MADDIE! So great!!

[@michaelschack]

Impressive. Good song. Sharing!

[@MrHoraceGold]

If there's been any significant increase in views it honestly probably is me. I've become obsessed with this song and have listened to it literally 40 times in 5 days or something. Amazing music right here folks.

[@lolztillirolz47]

That lick at 3:12. Eargasm.

[@00govan00]

the way she starts the solo befits her, 'cause she's a goddess

[@00govan00]

yeah, that imitative passage a few frets apart. Goat

[@crisscheatham]

WOW again I just discovered all this!

[@jigsaw924]

I can't be the only one who thinks this should be in guitar hero

[@twinbladedfury]

Rocksmith?

[@airuiz2]

Guitarist is amazing. Should I quit playing guitar now... lol

[@KidPersepolis]

Guitar player from Colbert late show. She's great.

[@jweihaas]

great tune man. fat grooves, awesome solos, very original.

[@LüttgePresents-MoreCowbell]

Honestly, you guys are everything I look forward to in a new generation of musicians. Keep writing your own music it's a joy to listen to!!

[@Metalingus]

amazing song!!! just bought the album because of this!!

[@joaodebarro7682]

Strange thing: The song has 3 effects 1.) First attraction = instant love (because of the combination of guitar and groove) 2.) curiosity during hearing: what happens now? 3.) Long term love (im hearing many many old and new songs in youtube every day, but every day , in the morning or in the evening I remember : There was this crazy song from berklee!!! And i enjoy it every time I here it. My favorite for weeks !!!)

[@poryis5235]

I first saw this video off a year and half old facebook post 3 weeks ago... In that time I have shown it to everyone who will let me. I play and teach with tons of incredibly musicians, and not one of them reacted with anything less than ebullient praise. I don't even know if you guys are still a band, but I'm going to keep pushing you guys at every opportunity.

[@molkobacano]

I loved it

[@MBblink182]

YYYEEEEESSSSSS easily my favourite song on the album, everything about this song is perfect!!

[@Paddy126]

Oh, the way Maddie casually flicks her hair aside in the middle of a solo that would make Larry Carlton proud!

[@gtearns73]

I Purchased the Mad Satta album from Google Play. Reach Out is another addictive jam. I listen to your music every day now

[@cpilard]

Awesome!

[@russnrach8]

This is my favorite of all their songs. I’ve returned to it several times over the last ten years, and it hasn’t lost its appeal yet. Each of these musicians is a prodigious talent in her/his own right, but the synergy of their unique contributions creates an end result that takes your breath away. Through the medium of (under the guise of?) pop music, they’ve given birth to true art that moves the human spirit (well, mine at least); art that inspires a deep yearning for some long forgotten, elusive sense of fulfillment/connection. The songwriting, the composition, the arrangement - all of it simply beautiful. And the production is top notch. Listening on headphones, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect mix. Thanks to all of the band members for gifting us with their creativity!

[@russnrach8]

Forgive me for yammering on, but I would be remiss if I failed to mention Maddie Rice, queen of the guitar! She’s obviously spent many hours honing her craft, and deserves all the accolades everyone is giving her. I shared this video with my 15 year old daughter, who resembles Maddie slightly, because I thought she might enjoy seeing such an accomplished young woman showing how it’s done. I was right. It was particularly fun pointing out Maddie’s totally boss move of making tremolo with her right hand on the whammy bar while simultaneously adjusting her hair with her left hand. The mutual appreciation and enjoyment was a nice father-daughter moment. (Thanks for listening)

[@brianwaitzman]

I be digging everything about this👍

[@luketaylor7896]

That guitar solo is amazing.

[@pyrocanther]

One of my favorite guitar solos of all time. Outstanding.

[@dingacassiusralte6644]

Dear Drew, your tone is amazing,can you tell me what kind of bass pedals/tone settings are you using for this particular song?

[@Hoooch420]

So, we're just supposed to sit here and pretend she didn't just murder that guitar solo?

[@MadMasterMike420]

her voice is hella interesting

[@stevegordon7246]

She sounds a lot like Joss Stone.

[@jon630]

Yeah. Like a cross between Joss Stone and Jill Scott.

[@TheJohnnyBE]

Nice tune, nice groove, nice solo, nice singin'. Nice recipe. Even nice banjo! let's hear more.

[@arkurts]

[@jurgenwesser2894]

100.000 clicks huuuu I knew it, I clicked it from the very beginning... Best pop song of the 2 years , best solo guitar performance of the 2 years

[@techniqueswithtodd]

That was awesome!! one of my guitar students shared this with me. I love your work and your solo is killer!! I'd love to collab with you on something if your up for it :)

[@BittenMitten]

YO. That's really good. nice.

[@AndrewManson]

Geez louise, that was so fucking great.

Very nice!

[@Foobymaster1]

One of my favorite guitar solos ever

[@massimo.pericolo.w]

I love it that you guys are making videos of your songs.

[@ryanberry5594]

Is that a short scale bass? or does it just look small because of the headstock?

[@navekeinan]

singer & guitarist very good :) Great song !!!

[@poundtownlegend1564]

Glad I started watching Bill Burr's podcast he introduced me to such a great band.

thanks mate

[@nylesthe3rd]

as if I couldn't love Joanna more!

[@Paddy126]

Unbelievably well constructed- reminds me of Steely Dan - esp the guitar solo which is knockout.

[@EgoShredder]

If she carries on like this, she will end up in the great Tony Macalpine band, just like Nili Brosh did at the same age! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXPKkp6pic6dobM

[@TheSlandis]

If you are referring to Maddie Rice, she's way beyond that. She was a member of Jon Batiste and Stay Human, the house band for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and now she's the guitarist for the Saturday Night Live house band...hardest gig to get on the planet.

[@EgoShredder]

@@TheSlandis I was referring more to the technical and musical prowess required to even play with the likes of Tony Macalpine, rather than getting into a high profile gig. All things considered I hope Maddie gets where her desire leads her to.

[@jtgenis]

I love Maddie's solo in this song!

[@dndud920]

O M G holly.. I've been searching that song for a long time... I love that song!!!!!!! Cool guys!!! Big fan of you guys!!!!!!!!!

is the bass player really tall or is it a really small bass ??

[@shadowfoot-4390]

I think its a small bass, if you notice the banjo isn't that small on him a buddy of my has the same one and hes 6'3

I'm addicted to this song. Sad I just found it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
