Liner notes

What's a song that feels like magic every time you hear it?

I'm taking a liberty and hijacking this prompt to share a track by The Stone Roses, whose bassist Mani sadly passed away yesterday at only 63 years old. In that context, listening to Fools Gold doesn't particularly make me feel magic right now—but it's a song that blew my mind the first time I heard it as an impressionable teenager. At the time, its infectious sound signposted the way to make my exit from a negative childhood friendship group.
