We Will Become a Happy Ending

Page France-ChariotThis band, this song, it sneaks up on you. These notes and melody, the tamborine and crystal bells, the seemingly simplistic thoughts and the lyrics. A chariot bobbing along a fresh grass road. Indie pop bouncing and smiling, at its happiest, purest. Folky hooks and this vision of the young and careless. Young and in love, in love with mellow adventure, with glistening eyes under a drifting blue sky.
And it starts off so innocent, so gentle. The delicate optimism. Stable line of song. At the 2:08 mark, suddenly, a burst of energy. A spur of chanting and dancing, joy at the world. Pop perfection.
