Lyrics
Here's a hymn to welcome in the day
Heralding a summer's early sway
And all the bulbs all comin' in
To begin
The thrushes' bleeding battle with the wrens
Disrupts my reverie again

Pegging clothing on the line
Training jasmine how to vine
Up the arbor to your door
And more
Standing on the landing with the war
You shouldered all the night before

But once upon it
The yellow bonnets
Garland all the lawn
You were waking
Day was breaking
A panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill

A barony of ivy in the trees
Expanding out its empire by degrees
And all the branches burst abloom
In the boom
Heaven sent this cardinal maroon
To decorate our living room

But once upon it
The yellow bonnets
Garland all the lawn
You were waking
Day was breaking
A panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill

And years from now when this old light
Isn't ambling anymore
Will I bring myself to write
"I give my best to Springville Hill"

But once upon it
The yellow bonnets
Garland all the lawn
You were waking
Day was breaking
A panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill
And summer comes to Springville Hill

Underrated Bands
There are lots of bands belonging to the genre or one of the sub-genres of rock that don’t get the recognition they deserve. I thought it would be a good idea to discuss cool bands here. It’ll be a cool way to find new music and expand the fanbases of these bands. If you know a band that you think could use a little more love, put it in the thread, along with some good songs by them. I’ll start off with a few: ~Fly Away Hero (Hercules, Misunderstood, Madison’s Favorite Toys) ~Picturesque (Speak Softly, Just Exist, One of Us) P.S. The bands don’t need to be incredibly unpopular, just any rock artist that isn’t recognized enough.
