Lay Me Down

Back in the '80s, if there was an Alternative Rock Mecca (like Seattle became in the early '90s) it was Athens, GA. From this town hailed all time greats like R.E.M., the B-52s, and Guadalcanal Diary. Other bands got contracts just for being from the area. Dreams So Real is one of those. I don't think they ever released a second album, but Last Night In Jericho was a mainstay in our college apartment.







I'm feeling a bit melancholy this week. It's that time of year. "Bearing Witness" has always been an end of summer song for me. The dying colors of Autumn are fast closing. The sun is fading. We are forced to recognize all that is good shall pass.

Lay me down.
