Catching up on these older posts in no particular order, but I'll throw in any song by Van Morrison. (Except "Brown-Eyed Girl," mainly because it's been covered by other artists enough to let me enjoy it.) They all bring me back to the days of an abusive family member who was obsessed with him and insisted on blasting his songs at maximum volume any time they were in a drunken manic episode. Fun times!

I wouldn't have thought of it, but you're absolutely right that sounds like surf guitar music, and hearing that adds to my enjoyment of the song.
There's no way they weren't going for a Duane Eddie style there. At least the instrumental portion. I'm glad it could add to the enjoyment!
Stay tuned for next album when I declare Spy to be the perfect High School Football Band anthem.
I will wait with baited breath. . .
I also remembered a song that connects to (moderate) childhood trauma. I definitely remember crying about the death of Robin Hood and that emotion transferred to this song: https://earnestnessisunderrated.substack.com/p/the-death-of-robin-hood
"Bangs" from Mink Car - and getting out of the South Tower with seconds to spare
Does that specific song make you think of that for any reason beside the album releasing on September 11? Or is that the only reason?
