Amazing
Is it just me that hear something else than Bussis?

 

[PaulS]

Not a well known band, although they have had songs on Breaking Bad and in some commercials. Just an amazing happy tune to me.

Yeah... umm I thought it was a song about felines.

Be Still And Know by Machine Head is pretty hopeful.

This comes on in a middle of a fairly complex, often dark symphonic metal album. I always set it to play randomly, so I can be surprised and laugh when this song starts up out of nowhere.

J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #5; it reminds me of Christmas,

(OK, it reminds me of Christmas TV commercials, actually...)

edit: Whoops! corrected wrong concerto number.

When the "band" comes back in after the keyboard solo...

These moments are rarely achieved, in any genre, IMO

We recently started playing this in my band. I LOVE it when it comes uouon the setlist. The crowd looks at each other like "No way!" and it is just such an infectious groove. The bass part, guitar parts, and keys are individually simple. But they weave in and out of each other so well!!!

I played this in a band that had a fanatical following back in the 80's. Great performance song.

No, it's not just you, but it really is about riding the bus. Now do I think the similarity was intentional? I wouldn't put it past them.

I just love this song - groove, melody, the guitar solo is just an incredible musical journey. Mike Stern with Richard Bona - Cameroon

Joni Mitchell's ex on bass?

I don't know who that is, but I've never seen him play with anyone but Tony Levin on bass. Weird.
