Seeing Jason Schwartzman on Bill Murray’s (largely
forgettable) Netflix Christmas special brought to mind this little gem from
Schwartzman’s solo project Coconut Records. For years I thought it was a side
project of the singer from Phoenix (who are also featured in the special), but
that’s not the case at all. Anyways. This is a finely crafted little indie pop
song. The lyrics are simple and poignant, and “tonight I think I’ll be staying
here” gets me every time. For me it brings me back to a trip from a few years
ago, combining the fond nostalgia from an enjoyable week tempered with regret
for an opportunity not taken. Without that context I can see this ending up
just another cute indie pop song, but there's nothing wrong with that. Throw in on some playlists
(especially given the relative lack of polish on the rest of the album) and
enjoy.
