I Want You Back by Lake Street Dive (Jackson 5 cover on World Cafe)

Musically, the guitars can open up with brighter overdrive and room reverb to create that sunrise shimmer over the rhythm section, while the live drums stay tight and punchy to preserve danceable momentum. Vocally, the grit and swagger will remain but with slightly more melodic lift — less about struggle, more about revival. Think of standing proud at dawn, feeling the wild heartbeat of the woods.

Moving On and Getting Over
