I really like this song. I think he's got a hit on his hands. They just need to send it for adds.

I'm surprised this isn't already in the Top 40.
This is a perfectly-crafted single (there's a few cringe-inducing lyrics, but Uncle Kracker pulls it off and makes the song feel convincing overall). It has everything..........breezy verses replete with imagery that isn't too detailed but can paint pictures in listeners' heads, a strong, soaring chorus, harmonious back-up vocals............it just sounds like a destined hit.
If this doesn't go Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 I'll be quite surprised.
Sincerely, Lisping Hibiscus

Yeah, I keep hearing this on the Pulse satellite radio Hot AC and was wondering if it would ever cross over -- good song, definite grower.

I like this. I'm getting a very strong late 90s vibe from it for some reason. I feel like this would've been an instant multi-week #1 smash hit if it was released in 1999.
That's a good thing though, and it still manages to sound fresh and current. It should be a hit.

Wow, it's been awhile since a song got a topic after it made the top 50. i keep listen to this song so long ago...this always remind me of daniel powter. Yeah, "Bad Day" was what I was immediately reminded of too. I love this song despite the corny lyrics and would rank this right up with "Memphis Soul Song" as my favorite from Uncle Kracker. Even if it doesn't soar up the chart I think its Hot AC success will keep this bulleted at Pop for a while longer.

Wow, it's been awhile since a song got a topic after it made the top 50. Well it was in the top 60 and the bullet started increasing significantly, so I considered it, but I decided to wait to see what would happen with it. I was surprised it got to the top 50 as soon as it did.

As for the comments about the corny lyrics,he clearly intended them to be that way because they're so over-the-top and he lays them on thick. It captures the mood of pure infatuation. That's what the song is; the immaculately clear conveyance of that specific mood.

That's what the song is; the immaculately clear conveyance of that specific mood. I think you're right because I'm generally much more tolerant of corny lyrics when the artist clearly realizes that they're corny. It's the same reason I love "Fireflies".

That's what the song is; the immaculately clear conveyance of that specific mood. And like I said, Uncle Kracker pulls it off because he sounds believable vocally in this song. A song like this just needs the right kind of musical personality to work. If, say, Adam Duritz or Aaron Lewis sang this, there's no possible way you could take either of them seriously because it just doesn't suit their musical personalities. But Uncle Kracker regularly dwells into laid-back nature flair, so it works. Sincerely, Lisping Hibiscus

This has already been way overplayed for me, due to my HAC stations. I hope it doesn't get big on CHR, cause I'm already more than sick of it. I did like it for a while, but just want it to go away now.

This is definitely a song that feels like it should be big in the summer...too bad it's a few months late lol. Still think it'll do well though.

They should have synched up its HAC run with its CHR run, but perhaps this will stand out as a refreshing song for the winter.

I think Pop would've been a lot more hesitant to play the song if they'd released it to both formats at once. Uncle Kracker hadn't been on the pop chart since "Drift Away" (neither "Memphis Soul Song" nor anything from his last album charted), so it's unlikely that the format would've immediately jumped all over this song. On Hot AC he had two moderate hits after "Drift Away", so getting attention over there was a lot easier. Now that "Smile" has become a top 3 hit there Pop PDs are recognizing its popularity and beginning to add the song.

No, it was his first hit. Drift Away was his last hit.
