"Steal my Sunshine" has such enduring positivity that it is almost almost in a class of its own. To be certain, the song is a keyboard song, not a guitar or sampled guitar riff song. The singing almost has a melody and the beat is maybe to a titch too fast, promoting movement over relaxation. However, it is impossible to argue with the elation felt when the layered chorus kicks in, a warm reminder that you're listening to a Canadian brother-sister duo that recorded and released two albums from their bedroom. Early tracks, like "Candy Pop" set the dour 'alternative' context full of distorted guitars and mumbled lyrics from which the group had to battle up from. The resulting hit is a moment of brilliance that has rarely, if ever, been reproduced by any group. [DB]
