Song of The Day - Day 260

Today's song is...


Sleeping In The Flowers


I like the contrast in this song between the verses and the chorus. It's a song that I really enjoy musically but could kind of take or leave the lyrics. I really enjoy the horn arrangement a lot and the guitars, particularly the acoustic on the chorus. There is also some intense... is that tambourine?....that is pretty cool. This is a great example of the "oh my god, we got horns!" vibe on John Henry which has oft been criticized but is actually one of the things I really enjoy about the album. Also of note, I think this is currently the song that Gary has seen live the most times that I've never seen at all.
