"Left Hand Free."

There is a clear southern rock influence in this track... Written by the band members in literally 20 minutes, the track was built around a riff that is Newman played during rehearsals, and includes a delightful organ solo...

Billboard Alternative Songs the song went to number two. As for the music video, a second part was later released, in which we are shown a group of young people at a pool party.
