    I've had this song in my head all day, and therefore spent my lunch break playing around with it, trying to make it sound kind of 90s alt-rock (sort of Gin Blossoms-ish).
    So now I'm looking around around for covers, and of course I find this one, and, as I'd expect, it's brilliant. But, in particular, I'm gonna say the country lead tone you've dialled in is PERFECT.
