Song: Bubbly

A little thing I think is just swell:
The new song "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat.

The lyrics are trite, the video is remarkably similar to anything Sheryl Crow has ever done, the sunshine branding is so forced that liking this song will make you feel shamefully unoriginal.

However.
HOWever. I don't think that truths like those should ultimately determine whether you should dislike or disregard a song. I'm just not that kind of girl. Music is music, baby.

As a (pop) song, "Bubbly" is beautiful. Perfect, really. The chords are lullaby-esque. The chorus is memorable. So sweet, so simple, so easy to sing, so easy to play on the guitar yourself. It's classic, it's tender, it's lovely. An instant top ten on the radios.

Who said sunshine is so bad anyway?
