Comment:

Maybe not, but it's a contender. More of an extended homage to simpler, happier times. I was gonna use Banhart's "Shabop Shalom", and it fits this context much better than any other song of his, but I've fallen in love with him over the last couple months, so using the gateway song that started it all just seemed a little too predictable for me, so I had to seek out another.

another fan of that Mamas & Papas song here. and I'm late to the Devendra Banhart bandwagon, but I'm feeling the same way. really beautiful/interesting stuff. this mix looks terrific.
