54 Seconds

Your song of the day is far and away one of the best singles of the past five years. "Ben's Letter" by 54 Seconds. This Austin based group is best described as ambient pop-rock headphone music: swirling guitar textures, lush keyboards, and the melancholy voice of Spencer Gibb belting out excellent melodies and heartening lyrics.

"Ben's Letter" (released in June of 2004) is pure magic. Click here for a listen.
