Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by John Richards, host of The Morning Show on KEXP, is "Honey Eye" by Smokey Brights, a 2021 single on Freakout.
Today's Song of the Day — from Seattle's own Smokey Brights — is a love song for uncertain times, with frontman Ryan Devlin declaring "Honey I want to rock the world with you, before it splits in two / Don’t know what else to do."
It's a fitting statement from a band led by married couple Devlin and Kim West, who've, indeed, rocked the world, most recently with their 2020 full-length I Love You But Damn. Today's featured track is an out-take from that album, along with another new single "Unity."
"They were just two songs that didn’t quite fit on that record but live together really nicely," West told Atwood Magazine recently. "They’re both about unity and taking care of each other and the importance of living right now. They feel really appropriate to release right now."
