Song of the day: Raspberries - "I Reach For The Light"


After a week of instrumentals, we're back to some music with a bit o' yodellin' in it.*

The Raspberries had two "light" songs, and I'm rather in the mood to play both of them to you:

Raspberries - "I Reach For The Light" (1972)

Raspberries - "I Saw The Light" (1972)

I love both those songs for different reasons:

  • The verse of "I Reach For Light" has Eric Carmen doing his best Paul McCartney impersonation; and
  • The chorus of "I Saw The Light" melts my brain.

(*That's not strictly true, as I don't have any music with yodelling in it. It's just music that has people singing the way they usually do.)
