Song Of The Day: The Quiet Men – River Valley

Posted on
9 Apr 2014

Toe-tapping is a word that needs to be reclaimed in the US. I usually google phrases that I’m planning on putting into my posts on Panic to make sure ‘that word means what I think it means.’ When I googled it, I came to realize that toe-tapping is now inextricably linked to the Larry Craig scandal.

No no no.

Toe-tapping encompasses all the greatness of music. In those two little alliterative words it brings to mind the spontaneous, wiggle-inducing, couldn’t-stop-yourself-even-if-you-tried, physical joyfulness that we get from music. Nothing else in the world can figuratively and literally move people like music.

The Irish folk collective The Quiet Men is a perfect example. The band hails from San Francisco and they bring to mind nothing more than a sunshine drenched field, a bubbling beautiful blue body of water and a toe-tapping good time. Check out their song River Valley below:
