This is like the avengers of LA funk.

[@googgnik]

recorded in Brooklyn, ny. written by bridget, who lives in Bkln. Perhaps you can explain how this relates to LA?

[@thedudeslawyer]

Bridget, Jack, and Jacob?!? Not to mention that sexy polar bear.

[@matt_greene]

Oh no way you got to collab with the guy from Yiddishe Pirat! Love the song!

[@danabrahamsmusic]

It's a grower. Such cool combinations of sounds. A Bridget classic!

I have no idea who this is, but I am ready to begin this UA-cam journey.

[@jimmeek7849]

Lake street dive bassist. And the woman of my dreams

[@jimmeek7849]

I felt the same thing about a year ago. Lake Street Dive has changed my perspective in musicianship forever. Simply unmatched songwriting.

[@DanWinks]

This is brilliant! So good

[@jimmeek7849]

Just look at the intensity on her face. AWSOME !

[@jgizzy]

Ok after a few listens, im over my own head with love for the song. Its at the top of my playlist. I literally tripped over this im happy af

[@ckrawisz2912]

I might be biased being a huge Vulf fan, but this is awesome

[@davidg6861]

This version gives me goosebumps, so many neat little instrumentations! A pleasure to enjoy your work as always.

[@digitalHayes]

DI box percussion, through a space echo??? It's the little things that amaze and delight, and there's lots to be delighted by in this song. Really nice work 🤌

[@stanvanillo9831]

It's also a cool early RE-200.

[@markrea629]

Love Bridget. The bear cracks me up! SO invested in the role..

[@Samuelioi]

So much harmony! Love it!

[@bridgetkearney2026]

Philip Weinrobe ftw!! Thank you! :)

[@Runedad0]

Hands down the best version and recording of this great song. Diggin' that female brain. I always do.

[@ginrogers9507]

i was literally thinking today i would lose my shit if vulf and LSD got together. more please.

[@bernardbigorgne2535]

Delightful sharing and performance dear Bridget.
Seasons greetings.Bernard ❤❤

[@elroymusic]

Song of the year!

[@sweetmagnoliamusic]

Love this winter bop so much! So good. Hits all the right spots. Another Bridget slam dunk!

[@danielstoddard943]

Take it too Briiiiidget…
Very nice. As the pan began Vulfmon and then Lil’ Yacov warmed my heart. Time to learn the other fine musicians names. That one piano note rhythm after the piano take was the candle on the icing of a beautifully made cake. Now I can’t stop thinking about the polar bear, but I’ll try…but I can’t. Great sound for such close quarters too everyone involved. Kudos Kidults.

[@manuelilic9195]

Love the bear; he´s diggin´it!

[@theONLYlod]

The bear is a she. It's Rachael Price (as from Lake Street Dive).
