Light & Day - Polyphonic Spree (Live in Japan)

Performed Live in Japan - The Polyphonic Spree never directly lift up their myriad voices for God (except in an ancient Egyptian Sun/Ra worship sense), yet one can't help but think of their 20+ members as the direct offspring of the Jesus Christ Superstar movie cast. It has all the ferver of a religious gathering.
The band was formed in 2000 by former "Tripping Daisy" frontman Tim Delaughter, whose life was changed by the overdose death of bandmate Wes Berggren. The experiment in orchestral pop music blossomed in the following years into a two-dozen member band operating out of Dallas, Texas.
Lyrics:
Light and day
is more than you'll say
cus all
my feelings are more
than i can let by
or not
it's more than you've got
just follow the day
follow the day and reach for the sun!
you don't see me flyin to the red
one more you're done
just follow the seasons and find the time
reach for the bright side
you don't see me flyin to the red
one more you're nuts
just follow the day
follow the day and reach for the sun!
just follow the day
follow the day and reach for the
you don't see me flyin to the red
one more you're nuts
just follow the seasons and find the time
reach for the bright side
you don't see me flyin to the red
one more you're nuts
just follow the day
follow the day and reach for the sun!
From "The Beginning Stages Of", with Tim DeLaughter conducting his followers through a near-continuous hour of complex musical ebbs and flows. The band's sound benefits greatly from DeLaughter's realization that not every instrument always needs to be playing at once.

Just discovered polyphonic spree and it’s making me rethink my whole life over

[@notsanni]

they're SO GOOD

[@bibby42]

I come back and watch this from time to time and I always have the same thought. The drummer is absolutely killing this!

[@michaelcomisse9478]

He really looks like danny carrey from tool, who is a top 5 drummer of all time in my opinion. It would be interesting to find out that he sat in cuz tool was on the same tour.

[@michaelcomisse9478]

Upon further review, I think their drummer just looks like danny carey. Still killin it tho!

[@bryanwakeland102]

Thanks for the kind words! That was our first time in Japan. That was a blast! BW

[@bryanwakeland102]

Ha! No it's not Danny Carrey, it's just me.. I was told a few times back then that I looked like him though.... Thanks for the compliment! BW

[@bibby42]

@@bryanwakeland102 Do you have any music online? I'd love to check out more of your stuff!

[@chrisjenkins203]

It’s crazy that I still enjoy this song having never watched a single episode of Scrubs.

[@TheEddieJ1984]

I know it from Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

[@jameson9750]

Scrubs?

[@amaniwolf]

This is a great, uplifting song, that moves the spirit to rise. We should all take a lesson from it and follow the day and reach for the sun. Maybe then,...life will get better.

[@jeffreyheeks]

Talk about uplifting and life affirming. Just fab. The energy. The joy.

[@mauyukimi]

I saw them when I was 17 at summer sonic. It was fantastic

[@ryanfriend1337]

I watch this video frequently and love it every single damn time. Incredible energy.

[@bibby42]

The drummer is killin it!

[@lawlor88]

This only has 5,180 views and Bieber gets hundreds of millions of views....what is wrong with this world?? Awesome track!

[@braidpark]

The world is fucked, that's what.

[@AeussersteKraft]

Quality is not for the masses.

[@wraithwolf]

I like the live version of the keyboard a bit more than the album version in this song, he buts a bit more flair into it.

[@danieldougan269]

It was in Japan, not China.
