I don’t know that I’ve ever really paid much attention to Copeland over the years, but they opened at a concert I attended a couple of weeks ago, where I heard this song for (almost certainly) the first time. The chorus has been stuck in my head ever since:

Sing with your head up
With your eyes closed
Not because you love the song
Because you love to sing
Because you love to sing

This is billed as the “Slow Version.”

This would be the non-“Slow Version.”

A couple of weeks ago, this came up on shuffle in the car. Not only did I forget that I owned a copy of this song, but I’d forgotten that Amos had ever done a cover of this. Naturally, I’ve become a little obsessed with it. Might as well share, eh?

Not a wealth of songs appropriate for Presidents’ Day. So why not one about a President?

I love this bit from the Wikipedia page about the song:

David Wild in his book He Is– I Say: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Neil Diamond, said, “he managed to write the coolest song ever written about granola or any other breakfast food made of rolled oats, nuts and honey”.

(and you know I’m hunting for that book as soon as I hit “Schedule” on this post)
