In the Sun (She & Him song)
2010 single by She & Him featuring Tilly and the Wall
"In the Sun" is a song by American duo She & Him, written by Zooey Deschanel for their second album, Volume Two. The song was released as the first single from the album on February 23, 2010, a full month ahead of the album. It was published on-line by Pitchfork on January 22, 2010.[1] The duo performed the song on the Late Show with David Letterman on April 2, 2010 in promotion of their new album.[2]
Interviewed by Pitchfork, songwriter Deschanel stated "I originally composed it with a classic jazz chord progression—with a little chromatic step—and it was slower. But we got in the studio and Matt [Ward asked], 'Why don't we put a Bee Gees beat on it?' And it totally came to life in a way I didn't expect."[3] The song features backing vocals by Tilly and the Wall.
Although the single is released on vinyl, it is available to purchase on digital stores and available as high quality 320 kbit/s mp3 or FLAC through their record label.[4]
