You know, I can't tell you.
It's not one of their more interesting songs.
But the crowd goes wild whenever they play it.
I myself like a pop song that sounds like a Waltz (I also love Elliot Smith's Waltz #2 for that reason).
But there's something about this song. I heard the intro back in 2005 and it caught me rightaway. Dragged me in.
I really was thinking "please let this continue to be good".
And it did. I like Joey Burns voice, even though he is not a parcicularly good singer. Is sounds pleasant.

And, very mexican and instrumental, probably one of their most powerful songs:
And then there's this, always a beautiful moment when they play this one live:
I don't know what it is with these songs. They just grab me from the first few notes.
Can't help but love Calexico.
