I love this song and I played it tonight at a dinner party and everyone asked me about it... Good reviews all around. I told everyone to buy the CD when it comes out, of course. One thing was bugging me about this song though and its the piano at the beginning. It sounded somewhat familiar. It reminds me of Fleetwood Mac's Beautiful Child.

I first heard this song in the car and got so excited I nearly crashed. Ben Kweller sounds more beautiful then ever in Sundress.
