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.
