Song of the Day - November 22, 2005

I never thought I would look forward to The Long Winters, but I was wrong. The opening track of their latest release Ultimatum is a gorgeous song full of layers of orchestration. "The Commander Thinks Aloud" starts out with some beautiful keyboards, followed by John Rodericks unique vocals, which have a certain something that I can't put my finger on, and a slow stately almost march-like effect from the drums. In the background one can hear various sounds like bird calls, violins, and synthesizer effects, such that one will be vastly rewarded by donning a pair of headphones. Click here for your reward.
