From the first time I heard the live version on the "Best of What's Around" bonus tracks, I was immediately pulled to the tropics. I felt like I was in a grand vacation resort sitting back and listening to some house band playing to the crowd. Somehow in that crowd that I imagine, I see two people who are sitting at a table but conspicuously on opposite sides staring at the band. As the song plays, something strikes in their head and they can't help turning to one another and giving a slight blush.
This is a song about finding reason to take a friendship to a different level fully expecting that come the next day you step back to what it was. As wishful thinking as it sounds, it's not about getting in a quick screw and stressing about life then after, but about giving in to the magic of the experience. Throwing caution to the wind. Making the most of it. Then tomorrow you say goodbye and go back to your worlds.
In my own vision of this song, it falls into that magic of the environment. The sea, the warmth, the air, the cocktails, the band, the couple, the magic. They cal it a vacation for a reason.
