Daydream, 1966
Written by John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky
Sebastian was no Dylan or Waits, but he was a dab hand with the pen. His talent perhaps shined the brightest when writing funny songs ("Jug Band Music," "Nashville Cats," "Pow"), but he could write some touching, tender poems as well. This song is about standing back in the middle of an argument with a loved one and getting some perspective: "Though the words are flyin' fast, it just don't mean a thing / In a little while I could tell you everything." It's not one of their catchiest song, perhaps, but it's a sweet song, and showcases that Sebastian maturity and broadmindedness so evident in songs like "Younger Generation."
