Three Little Birds, by Bob Marley.
Look, I’m not trying to turn this into a gimmicky scavenger hunt project or anything, but “play a happy song real sad-like” is something I can do.
I used to associate this song with summer camp and the homesickness we felt when we left for home, I suppose, but also there was a cover on a sweet children’s music CD we had on repeat the year at the beach when we arrived on a Friday but were dumb enough to go food shopping on Saturday morning and got stuck in the traffic coming back and it took us two hours to drive three miles — or at least that’s how it felt with two (smaller than now, anyway) children in the car and this CD on repeat.

Why the cowboy hat? idk, just wanted to hide under something.
Why the noodly spacey second guitar? idk, just love to noodle on a major scale while trying to sound sad.
