David Wax Museum - "You Must Change Your Life"

We've been huge fans of David Wax Museum since well before we started this blog, and they're one of the bands we credit with inspiring us to start If It's Too Loud... It's always a thrill to bring you new music from the David and Suz, but this current round of new songs just feels special. The latest, "You Must Change Your Life," just feels like it's dying to explode into a crossover hit. This is the best the mainstream (and maybe even the pop side) of modern folk has to offer. It's an incredibly upbeat song that is practically begging to be danced to this summer in a field during one of the finer music festivals out there. Plus, the message of "You Must Change Your Life" is hitting me squarely in the middle of a mid-life crisis, so it's becoming a personal song for me, too.
