Sing Song
From Living Room
Jump to navigationJump to searchThis is the last song on what is probably my favorite album of all time, The Mandarin, by Bicycle Day. I have been avoiding trying to figure out their songs since 1) most of them are impossibly crazy 2) the parts are hard to make out and 3) I don't want to dissect the magic out of them, but I am going to play a special show at the end of March and want to cover one of the Bicycle Day tunes, and this is one of the simplest, and also one of my favorites. If I do a version worth recording, I'll record it.
