Tune Time: "Then came the circus so I followed its parade, with all the fancy lion-tamers, high-wire fiery flamers..."

No doubt about this month's choice, it's quite the most dramatic song I think I've ever heard on Radio Two (and one of the longest) - it is, of course, Grace Slick's 'Dreams':

 

Utterly amazing vocal performance.

    A band I'd never heard of before (Future Islands) just killing it on the Letterman show:

    Hear the full album. I bought it in 1981. A classic.

    "Grace Slag" as she was known back in the day.

    Great orchestration, it drowned out her "voice" though...maybe that was deliberate.

    Let Hannah Reid from London Grammar have a crack at it.

    I shall keep an eye out for them!

    "Let Hannah Reid from London Grammar have a crack at it."

    Probably will, in the next reality talent show!
