When the "Anthology 2" Beatles compilation was released, I was especially taken with the alternate version of "And Your Bird Can Sing"--not so much for the giggling but the revelation of how good the song sounds in a lower key.
That key also serves today's persistent earworm well. "Till Your Luck Runs Out" by The Overtures doesn't break any new ground, and that's not a criticism. It feels like any number of mid '60s pop tunes, but it's actually from this year. You've heard lyrics like these and jangly guitar melodies like these hundreds of times, at least. That familiarity doesn't detract from the tune's pleasant, welcoming vibe or keep it from being one of 2020's catchier songs.
I welcome all the jangly guitar/power pop melodies I can fit in my mind, especially during a pandemic.
