Two Door Cinema Club - Changing of the Seasons

We're all used to the typical get-over-your-breakup songs.  Sad, powerful, melancholy tunes that attempt to empower you the only way that's plain to see.  We get it, people.  But, there's another way.  You have yet to hear a breakup song as peppy and uplifting as Two Door Cinema Club's "Changing of the Seasons."  Dear god, these boys have a knack for producing catchy tunes that I can't help but fall in love with, and this one is no exception.

"Changing of the Seasons" is a peppy little thing at first listen, but closely paying attention to the lyrics gives you the whole picture of a sad relationship and a breakup that was for the best.  The uplifting tone of the song brings it all full circle, and reminds you that sad events in your life don't necessarily require sad music.  The synthy instrumental work kind of reminds me of Mario Kart background music too...which earlier followers of my blog might remember as being a big plus.  Too bad I didn't know about this number before I did my breakup playlist 1.5 years ago.  Here's to the changing of the seasons, then, and the great things that come with it.
