"Every Morning" was the first single from Sugar Ray's third album, 14:59, in 1999 and the first one the band ever put in American stores. David Kahne produced it for Lava, and it's a breezy, sun-bleached thing, an alt-rock song strummed with a flamenco lilt and tipping its hat to Malo's "Suavecito" and Hugh Masekela's "Grazing in the Grass" along the way.
It's pure summer-hammock pop, and it worked: it went to number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and on Canada's RPM chart, climbed as high as three on the Hot 100 and 10 in the UK, the band's best showing on both. Radio had it by December 1998, months before it reached the shops.
