And Beth's voice isn't pop-affected like Carlton's is -- she's not even that folk-affected, come to think of it. She just sounds like herself.

Hahaha I just have nothing to say about the song itself: I suppose I enjoy it enough right up to the chorus, which blows through a bit too much for me to really get into it. Pleasant, though.

I don't really hear it.
Mainly it's just the way the piano figure connects up to a more "rock" bass-and-drums counterpoint -- with piano fills between the vocal phrases -- that reminds me of Suddenly Tammy.
That I do hear, although I think Sorrentino's playing is a bit more progressive (huge, complicated chord constructions) than Carlton's (those simplistic arpeggio figures).

until it's "more than me" at which point you're just an uncritical fangirl, obv.

Her lyrics are crap, and I can't stand the cloying, come-hitherish glances she mawkishly throws at the camera in her vids. NEXT!

and when the conversation begins to flow/then i don't care anymore
and i guess that i just don't know/and i guess that i just don't know.

I like her voice as much as her piano actually.
