It happened while I was driving home from lunch listening to their cover version of the song [“Last Kiss”](http://www.leoslyrics.com/listlyrics.php?sid=%5B%8Ex%29%2A%F8%C6%82) . This is one of those songs whose melody I knew quite well, but from where I wasn’t sure. I’d never listened to the lyrics before. Sure, it’s from the tacky bloody-teenager car crash genre of pop songs, but, man it got to me on the way home. ---
