Thompson Square is a husband-wife duo, Keifer & Shawna Thompson. This song, written by Jim Collins & David Lee Murphy, originally hit the airwaves 08/07/2010 during my “Nor’Easter Trek” road trip (to New York, Boston MA, CT, etc.); however, the single didn’t get much airplay until after the album was released February 2011. The song claimed #1 in mid 2011, during my “Coast-to-Coast” road trip, when I remember hearing it many times.
