Possessing an up tempo beat and progression and a slightly wistful tone and lyric make Ra Ra Riot's "Each Year" a song suitable for all occasions. The guitar work and sound invokes Unrest, while the full overall song and architecture brought up thoughts of The Shins and more chamber pop leaning sensibilities conjure up Belle and Sebastian. "Each Year" is off their self-titled EP.
Huggable, yet introspective, this song has that just friends feel to it, but the type of just friends scenario where it's ok to kiss if nothing better is going on.
