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.

It's The Sun lyrics:

Sun
Take some time, get away
Sun
Suicide is a shame
Sun oh sun
Soon, you'll find your own way
Sun oh sun
Hope has come, you are safe
And it makes me cry
Because I'm on my way
On my way
On my way
Hey, it's the sun, and it makes me shine
Hey, it's the sun, and it makes me shine
Hey, it's the sun, and it makes me shine
Hey, now, it's the sun, and it makes me shine.

Sun oh sun
Soon, you'll be okay
Sun oh sun
Soon, you'll be okay
And it makes me smile
Because I'm on my way

Hey, it's the sun, and it makes me shine
Hey, it's the sun, and it makes me shine
Hey, it's the sun, and it makes me shine
Hey, now, it's the sun, and it makes me smile
All around
Hey, now, it's the sun, and it makes me smile
All around, all around

Ba dada ba ba...

Hey, now it's the sun, and it makes me smile
All around
Hey, now it's the sun, and it makes me smile
All around, all around

Ba dada ba ba...

Any attempt to describe the sound and vibe of the Polyphonic Spree would include words like "orchestral," "psychedelic," "gospel," and "groovy," but would ultimately fail to accurately characterize the band. One thing most people can agree on: they're a hell of a lot of fun to listen to.
