Stop Your Motor, 1971
Written by Terry Kirkman and Richard Thompson
This song is an invocation to the new day, embracing the change, casting out darkness, carpe diem, take it all in. "Excite me! Daylight, invite me to spin the wheel / Excite me! Daylight, invite me to have a feel of ups and downs." This song is the grandfather of the Polyphonic Spree, as as such, it's a little slower, more stately, not quite as ethereal and robust. Fun fact: this song was slated for a proposed documentary on car racing hosted by Paul Newman, even though it has nothing to do with cars, but this film was shelved. (NB: keyboardist Thompson is not the British folk-rock legend.)
