High Fidelity - the bird and the bee

This indie pop duo has a great sound.  Plus they released a whole album of Hall & Oates covers.  That's kind of awesome.  Hope you enjoy some of my favorite the bird and the bee songs.

Photo taken at the Wildwood Recreation Area, Mt. Hood National Forest, Oregon.  I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, how could I not be grateful for having places like this as part of my life?
