“Smile” by Lone Kodiak - Free Friday (“FL&R”)

     Free and Legal Downloads? Yes, at least temporarily. Bands often temporarily permit free downloads of their releases.  The end of an offer may be based on the expiration of a set period of time or on a limited number of downloads.  But at least for now, here is a song that qualifies as Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R).
     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Our plan is to post at least one FL&R song each Friday. 
     “Smile” enters with guitar having some of the interesting characteristics of Angels & Airwaves. That lasts for a short time, and then the song heads along an independent path. We like the terrain. “Smile” is a track from Lone Kodiak, a quartet from Los Angeles. The members are Dainéal Parker (vocals, guitar, keys), Daniel Alden (bass), and Andrew Smith (drums).

Lyrics of “Smile” by Lone Kodiak
You were in my dream last night
You've been on my mind
Saw you on a New York street
You're busy all the time

Found you in a hospital
Pretty as a song
You were wearing blue
When I asked you what was wrong

And you smiled at me
You smiled at me
You’re one of us now
You’re one of us now

Summers in The Bluegrass State
Kentucky in the sun
I taught her how to swim
She taught me the guitar
Went to leave a birthday note
When I found out she was gone
She was smiling at me
Just smiling at me

Brother, you are one of us now
Part of this; you're one of us now
You took your hits; you're one of us now
Brother, you
Brother, you

In NYC, three blocks from the river
The sun will see you fall asleep too soon

Didn't I warn you?
Didn't we talk about this?
There's consequences
There's consequences
Didn't I warn you?
What about the consequences?
We talked about this
We talked about this

Brother, you are one of us now
You're part of this; you're one of us now
You took your hits; you're one of us now
Brother, you
Brother, you
