Heard it on HIMYM and fell in love! Can't listen without smiling!

I love this song. It reminds me of the poem "The Poison Tree" by William Blake. It's all in how you look at it.

I first heard this song when watching the season eight finale of HIMYM, a show that, despite its ending, featured a variety of great songs. "Simple Song" by The Shins is among those. It has an upbeat and optimistic feel that makes me look to the future, no matter what has happened in the past. "Simple Song", I believe, is one of those songs that captures how marked transitions and changes feel.
