Warm, breathy cover of the Toto classic.
Driven by a wheezy organ sound, Alan and Mimi's vocal ring out clearly and intertwine in that gorgeous way they usually do. Bizarrely, Alan Sparhawk (on drums here) makes it sound like they're kicking into Mungo Jerry's 'In The Summertime' as he starts the track off with "tush-ti-tush - aah" vocal percussion.
It drifts along very nicely, the current 'C'mon' line-up of Low melding nicely, with some round, warm bass action and a herculean effort to get their tongues around Toto's occasionally verbose lyric. "I know that I must do what's right, As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" indeed.
Happy Sunday.
