"Lovefool" by The Cardigans

You don't have to cry, pray, or beg - Kirk is happy to break down one of the 90s' most iconic pop hits without any further encouragement.Yes, it's time to take apart The Cardigans' 1996 hit "Lovefool," a song that sounds one way when it's that Romeo + Juliet song that's on the radio all the time, and another way when it's the centerpiece of First Band on the Moon. Kirk zooms out a bit more than usual to place this song in the context of its (fantastic) corresponding album, and to hopefully help everyone better appreciate the meticulous mastery of The Cardigans.Band/Artist: The CardigansAlbum: First Band on the Moon (1996)Written by: Nina Persson and Peter SvenssonListen/Buy via Album.LinkALSO REFERENCED/DISCUSSED:Many other tracks from First Band on the MoonOUTRO SOLOIST: Kyle MolitorKyle is a Portland-based trombonist who plays in all sorts of bands, and the dude can really get it done.
