Formed in 1993, they eventually opened for Cheap Trick, provided music for the animated show, "Generation O", featuring some of the best 2 minute cartoon songs from a fake band ever. Did the theme song for the Disney live action Pooh show, Being the voice and band music for the movie "Josie and the Pussycats", and Kay still does music as well as putting out great solo albums, since the band split up in 2000. But, they've occasionally regrouped now and again...
Speaking of which, today's track is one of my favs from 1993, "Here and Now". Terrific bass-lines and vocals, and probably one of the most fascinating choruses recorded. I still don't know how she spits out that complicated verse. Just try to sing along, I dare you...
And the band name? Comes from Kay, She used to have a pen-pal named Cleo as a child. Most of these letters were returned, and she found a box of them while trying to come up with a band name.
Band: Letters to Cleo
Song Here and Now (1993)
Just living on a Sunday morning,
got my toast and tea and I'm warm and
I just thought I'd think about.
All the things to get and keep getting,
never enough not enough and never ending.
I just thought I'd think about.
Just living on a Sunday morning,
got my toast and tea and I'm warm and
I just thought I'd think about.
All the things to get and keep getting,
never enough not enough and never ending.
I just thought I'd think about....
And it might be...
The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky
but could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the
here and now, here and now.
Parody of yourself in color,
giving it to everybody but your mother.
You've got much to think about.
Soaring higher with every treason.
Never justify, never reason.
You've got much to think about....
And it might be...
The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky
but could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the
here and now, here and now.
The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky
but could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the
here and now, here and now.
And it might be...
Parody of yourself in color,
giving it to everybody but your mother.
You've got much to think about.
Soaring higher with every treason.
Never justify, never reason.
You've got much to think about....
And it might be...
The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky
but could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the
here and now, here and now.
The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky
but could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the
here and now, here and now.
And it might be...
The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky
but could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the
here and now, here and now.
And it might, might....
