The R.B.D. Song of the Day | Visions of the Future


Barenaked Ladies, "Watching the Northern Lights" from All In Good Time (The Last Angry Spaceman)

Captain's Log: And now from the scientific children's songs we return to the adults' flights of fancy.
"Floating like a dream cloud above the lake,
Drifting in and out of sight,
Forty miles above us,
Watching the northern lights…

"In the true northern darkness,
Far from the sleeping towns,
We lay there in silence,
Young and free, half asleep, spellbound…

"In my mind after all this time
The memory's still clear.
All I find I leave behind,
The song is my souvenir…"
