Blind Pilot - "We Are The Tide"

Well, we've moved into that time of year (3 months leading up to the mid-May release) where I share Summer Guide 12 casualty after casualty.

I went for a run today and previewed the SG12 folder for the first time (something I limit myself to so as to not associate the tracks to winter weather), and this song – while a great track – just didn't meet the criteria of Summer Guide, Summer Cuts, or the 2012 Leaves compilation.

It's an incredible song, though ... from its telecaster guitar, the smooth background vocals, the (very subtle) Hawaiian drums, and the "buuuum-sha-boom" drum beat ... Blind Pilot mastered an incredible track in "We Are The Tide."

A track worthy of many compilations ... maybe yours.
