Day 106: April 16: Brighten Your Night With My Day
"Watch those shadows fade away."
Really early James. This one came out in 1968 on the eponymous record on the Apple label. That first album is fairly hit and miss as James is still trying to figure things out. This one isn't a classic by any means, but there are elements of it that foreshadow things to come. The lyrics have a sentimentality that will later blossom and there are pieces of sweetness in the melody. It's not his best or even great- but it's nice and well worth a listen.
Here's another song about illumination from Styx. A few notes about this version/song: Dennis is rocking a great mustache and Cubs jersey, they are apparently lip-synching as it's awful hard to pull of the fade ending in a live performance and I really hope they play this when we see them at the Knoxville Fair this fall.
