My Top 1000 Songs #920: The Biz

[I've been writing up my Top 1000 songs on a daily basis--you can see them all in descending order by hitting the All My Favorite Songs tag.]

There's something so strangely evocative about the title track off The Sea And Cake's 1995 LP The Biz, but I can't quite put my finger on it. A skewed, jazzy track, full of gentle yet weird chords, free-form time signature shifts, conjuring stoned afternoons of 70s jazz/prog-flavored soft rock, with one foot planted firmly in 90s alt.rock yet sounding nothing like it. Dunno. Wish I could figure it out. But I play the song and I'm somewhere else, just not sure where it is.
