Sixpence None The Richer - “Tonight” (Divine Discontent)

Tonight I’m going let it go and try to let it be
Because I know you see…

That it’s hard to know
Where I’m supposed to go
But there is a way
And tomorrow is a brand new day

Tonight

Lapdog - “See You Again” (Near Tonight)

Here’s the Lapdog track I mentioned yesterday that will apparently get a new lease on life as part of the new Toad the Wet Sprocket album New Constellation. Just listen to that and try to explain to me why this band went nowhere in the aftermath of the TTWS breakup. The entire album is chock full of pop gems like this one.

Lapdog also offered downloads of three outtakes from the Near Tonight sessions on their website back in the day, of which I feel the track “No Way Out” that I wrote about here really should have made the album.

Funny how the days go by invisibly
And faster than I realize the things I think about
Strange to find the calendar my enemy
And scared that when I die so will the things I think about
Toad the Wet Sprocket - “I Think About” (Pale, 1990)

How’d I Get So Far Off Center?

If you need any more prodding to contribute to Toad the Wet Sprocket’s new album Kickstarter campaign, have a listen to the title track “New Constellation.”
