Letters To Cleo - "Here & Now"

Sometimes I dream in song. The other night I had a dream of a familiar song that my mind associated with the band Letters To Cleo. I immediately sought out their biggest hit, which brought me to "Here & Now". It was nothing like the song in my dream. I'm forever grateful

It's Easter Weekend and us hotheads here at Song Of The Day thought we'd do a week of picks inspired by such. Let's see how our newcomers fared...

Matthew Good Band - "While We Were Hunting Rabbits"



Easter T

Dan Fogelberg - "Leader Of The Band"



Neil Young & Stephen Stills - "Long May You Run"

The National - "Pink Rabbits"

Thought about picking Moist - "Resurrection" which would have been a more clever pick yet obvious song, so I went with a more obvious title and a more obscure song.
