Old enough by The Raconteurs
The song starts with vocals immediately which I tend to like. The vocals are quadrupled and slightly out of phase on top of a clean accoustic. They are immediately positive (you look pretty)... but immediately are tempered by the infamous 'but'. After reading the lyrics it seems the story is directed from someone older to someone younger who is headstrong and thinks they have it all figured out. The narrator identifies with the subject and eventually implores them to think about their future. Pretty deep for a pop song. It actually says something.
Shaker... fiddle... mid tempo rock heavy bass. An organ, a very pretty organ. Pretty up-front drums. Doubled or quadrupled vocals. The bass is constantly moving till the bridge.
The vocals get a little psychedellic with back and forth repeating lines.
The electric guitar seems to get dirtier in the bridge and then disappears in the rest of the song. Suddenly an acoustic guitar rises playing lead and double stops. I think the vocals even get a little more distorted towards the end.
The electric gets a little more prominant and the fiddle starts fiddling you're expecting a solo but everything drops out and there's a little a little accoustic fiddling a few voices and it's over. I liked it.
