I don’t really have a Sunday morning ritual besides listening to “A Sunday Smile” by Beirut almost every Sunday. It perks me up the way a morning kiss, or the sight of the ocean at dawn can. But a few Grizzly Bear songs are stuck on my musical belt. With the lead is “Ready, Able”, which is from Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest album and featured on the video above. It’s a theatrical piece with gorgeous orchestration, string instruments, plucking, cascading melodies and action. It’s the type of tune to inspire ballet dancers to dance on their rooftops. It’s also a song that gets me banging my imaginary drum in the morning. That’s always a good sign I’ll have a great day.
