Daybreak the Teacher.:

Psychedelic was a pretty good track I’ve never heard to come back to. When it started I thought it was going to be a bit of a guitar funk groove, then it turned into some 60s pop-ish rock-ish, then there was a bit of ballading going on. Nice surprises in it all jelled well. A fine pic.
