This lovely song, one of my favorite b-sides, is uplifting and beautiful. It's got the perfect Parade-era vibe, and if falling in love on a warm, sunny day could be captured on vinyl, I imagine it would sound something like that.

So here's a question: How do you pronounce the title? Me, I go with "Alexa duh pa-REE" and can't imagine pronouncing it a different way. Everybody else? How do you say it?

'De' is pronounced 'duh' as opposed to 'doo'

Actually, that's what I say; that's a typo. Off to correct it now...

It would be 'dey' if it was plural and spelt 'des'.
