This little song caught me by surprise.  I enjoyed the Vicar’s earlier tickle but this one really captured my heart, somehow.  It does not happen often that I find myself hankering for a song and have to play it over and over again.  But Sunshine did that to me.  Is it the happy feeling in the lyrics and melodies?  The tasty chord changes and vocal harmonies?  The string counterpoints?  In any case, I was genuinely charmed by this tickle and hope that the Vicar continues with his mysterious, but apparently fruitful, labors....

...someone wants to be Brain Wilson or Russell Mael...

Maybe significant sonic detail is lost when playing this song over little computer speakers, but the arrangement and vocals sound mediocre to me when heard in low resolution (and I currently lack the abilty to play digital files in high resolution).

I hear the Beatles influence as mentioned in the other reviews, and I also hear the  Beach Boys in the harmonized vocals. You can’t beat that combination.

I’ll be listening to this for a while.

I guess I’m becoming a Vicar fan!

Just like «In Dying Fire» this piece reveals a wonderful taste for pop in its authentical terms. Again, mr.Partridge springs to my mind as the first reference. Since Andy is one of my favourite authors of all time, take this a token of my appreciation.

Very Beatlesque, in an Eleanor Rigby/She’s Leaving Home sort of way. But also XTC-ish and... well, it’s just a gorgeous little song. Thank you!

That is a very pretty little piece of music. I don´t know exactly why, but the Beatles came to my mind when I listened to it. I think I go and try to find my copies of "Revolver" and "The white album".
