Top 100: #34

Number 34: She & Him - Change Is Hard
Album: Volume One, 2008.

She & Him is a collaboration between M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel, so you'd think, you know, the musician would write the music. You'd be wrong. Deschanel had been writing songs for years before approaching M. Ward, and in truth, they are just lovely. In style/homage to girl soul bands of the '60s, Volume One was a huge triumph, and I just love it. It's about love and loss, and I don't think it gets more poignant than on this track.

It's about being stupid and losing the one you love, and trying to pick up the pieces afterwards even after they already have. Beautiful.
