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.
This is from "The Adventure of Listening" DVD packaged with the "Together We're Heavy" CD. A real fantasy video containing CGI graphics for an "another world" look. Lyrics follow:
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!
Any attempt to describe the sound and vibe of the Polyphonic Spree would include words like "orchestral," "psychedelic," "gospel," and "groovy," but would ultimately fail to accurately characterize the band. One thing most people can agree on: they're a hell of a lot of fun to listen to.
