From the get-go, the strains of this song possess something slightly reminiscent of Jack Johnson; in its ability to just get a grin on your face and make you say right off the bat "this song is going to make me feel good."
Chris Velan's voice has a puppy-like quality to it that says "I already love you, and I hope you'll just let my voice cuddle up beside you on your pillow." Whomever he may be offering a bedside serenade at night, or early dawn break, or mid afternoon is lucky indeed.
As far as the song goes, maybe it's the timing of having discovered this particular tune, but it struck me. In a way I needed to be touched. After so much self-doubt and conflicted emotion, I needed to hear someone else say boldly (but without desperation): "No I'm not fine, but I'm not broken. So go ahead, forget the rest of me. I love it when you get the best of me.""
The song expresses with lightheartedness, the sensation of taking love at it's scariest when you are at your most vulnerable... and surrendering to it all with a smile and a shrug.
Thank you, Chris, for creating this song.
