The Concretes - You Can't Hurry Love



I'd forgotten how great a song this is. Even though it shares nothing musically with the Supremes song of the same title, there's a certain thematic similarity I think. Both are joyful, but with a sad weight dragging them down, grounding them. Beneath all the "Ohs" and the trumpets there's actually a very chunky little guitar riff pulling the song as well.
