Description

<p>Everything about this song appeals to me. The soft-loud dynamic of the verse and chorus, coupled with the 4/4 3/4 switch from verse to chorus, along with the minor to major switch. It’s just perfectly internally oppositional. The bridge is one of my very favourites that we have in the entire catalogue with that swinging half funk groove and that outro is just absolutely fire. Can’t Stop the Sun brings in all the conflict and anger that Tom has projected through parts of this album and turns it against itself by becoming a final statement of resolve and indestructible self-reliance. It’s a perfect end to a perfect album. </p><br><p>Song and links:</p><p><strong>Song :</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/QAOfT6M2VtI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/QAOfT6M2VtI</a></p><p><strong>Live at the Olympic :</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=095uVo507r4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=095uVo507r4</a>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Shawshank : </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKjiD3LBGPo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKjiD3LBGPo</a></p><p><strong>Judge Timbers :</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/gtLxu7unPpU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/gtLxu7unPpU</a> </p><br><p>Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.</p><br><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyproject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyproject</a></p><p>Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.social</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyproject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyproject</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyproject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyproject</a></p><p>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyproject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyproject</a></p><br><p>All music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.
