About SOTD
The Song of the Day (SotD) is a fun way to get exposed to some new music, or maybe learn more about a song you already know.
The way it works is this:
Anyone can nominate a song on the Song of the Day special page. Once approved, the nominations are then moved to the queue. One nomination is then selected each day from the list of songs in the queue and displayed on the LyricWiki Main Page as "Sotd". The nifty badge on the right is also added to the song's page.
The successful nominee isn't forgotten about either. Providing they are registered (and don't use an alias when submitting their nomination) they receive notification that their song has won "Song of the Day". Also, that their name has now been added to the list of SOTD Winners.
After the day is over, the entry is archived. The entry is also displayed on this page until the middle of the following month.
So now you know how it works, why not head on over to the Song of the Day special page and nominate a song today!
And when you've done that, how about nominating an Artist of the Month?
Recent Songs of the Day
June 2012
June 17, 2013: Wish Them Well by Rush
- Nominated by Keepwiththeclassics!.
- This song is featured on the hit Canadian band Rush's latest album, Clockwork Angels. The album is about a young man who adventures far from home and sees many wonders, as well as many tragedies. This song is very meaningful to me, and I hope these lyrics benefit you as well.

June 16, 2013: Remembrance Day by Demon
- Nominated by 86.136.191.51.
- I nominate this song because it's about Remembrance Day, 11th November in the UK.
We remember all the soldiers that have died in past wars and the lyrics are very fitting for the occasion.

June 15, 2013: The Creator by 妖精帝國 (Yōsei Teikoku)
- Nominated by Hestiahearth89.
- The hard rockish instrumental, with the symphonic backing vocals that you can feel in the heavenly of Gods palace, and with the sweetness of siren's voice from the distant... In between of life and death, the dream that you can't reach it, also believing in the future, Yousei Teikoku tells much about Gods tales that have been forgotten by people.

June 14, 2013: Graceless by The National
- Nominated by 96.236.200.69.
- This song is beautiful. It's cryptic yet powerful. I think this song should be nominated because of the shear talent that went into composing it
June 13, 2013: Randy Described Eternity by Built To Spill
- Nominated by Xzwergnasex.
- While not particularly famous, this song is extraordinary both musically and lyrically. The picturesque way it describes eternity simply gives you goosebumps!

June 12, 2013: Requiem by (Sic)monic
- Nominated by Intelfx.
- I'd simply like people to listen to this brilliant calm song (as well as the band itself). They are progressive/experimental metal. However, genres aside, they are just... extremely beautiful. This attributes both to the music itself (of which this song is the apex), very technical and keen singing and the extraordinary lyrics.

June 11, 2013: Hot Soup by Da Vinci's Notebook
- Nominated by 98.166.122.124.
- I nominated this song because it is hilarious and completey amazing. It's all about eating hot soup... with your hands (or lack thereof). And, for once in music, it is completely and utterly true.
June 10, 2013: ¡oh Mamá! by La Pandilla
- Nominated by 98.116.48.30.
- I nominated this song because I love my mom. She is A M A Z I N G AND W O N D E R F U L.
Video: Music video on YouTube
June 09, 2013: Sailing On A Wing by Mystery
- Nominated by KyoufuNoDaiou.
- An absolutely amazing song to close their album "One Among the Living". The song has great powerful and great calm sections. The lyrics fit great as well. Definitely worth a listen.
Video: Music video on YouTube
June 08, 2013: Simple Song by The Shins
- Nominated by Supportstorm.
- A very catchy song off the new album Port of Morrow from The Shins. The song is uplifting, and the music video is humorous, but James Mercer's voice really puts this song together.
Video: Music video on YouTube
June 07, 2013: C.B.S. by Gracious
- Nominated by 81.181.202.94.
- I've come to know only recently this album, and I like especially this song from it. Gracious was one of the finest experimental English bands in the early seventies.
Video: Music video on YouTube
June 06, 2013: Bless 'em All by George Formby
- Nominated by 173.172.222.229.
- George was a great artist and comedian.
The words to this British comic song are strangely poignant thinking about the sadness of the blokes left behind returning to their billets after saying goodbye to their mates.
June 05, 2013: Knives And Pens by Black Veil Brides
- Nominated by 67.238.39.174.
- I nominated this song, because the band themselves are amazing! When you first see them you will probably think that they are weird but once you get past the looks and actually listen to their music you'll find that they make some really good music and it's all worth listening to.
June 04, 2013: Spoon by Dave Matthews Band
- Nominated by 75.177.43.225.
- A hidden gem, it's a wonder this song never made a place among Dave Matthews Bands' other great hits. It features Alanis Morrisette, another wonderful artist who found fame in the 90's. This song is beautiful, and deserves it's day in the spotlight
June 03, 2013: Jean Baudrillard by Maxïmo Park
- Nominated by 50.53.113.214.
- I nominate this song because Jean Baudrillard is one of the most awesome and influential philosophers with his theories on the real and post-structuralism, along with Maximo Park being a really amazing, yet somewhat lesser known in America, band. A song that incorporates both deserves to be given recognition.
June 02, 2013: Never Turn Back by Crush 40
- Nominated by Sonicman667.
- I nominated this because ever since I finished Shadow the Hedgehog, I would always turn on the game just to play this song in the Sound Test. I love this song. It's the best song in the soundtrack next to I Am... All Of Me
Video: Music video on YouTube
June 01, 2013: Still Doll by Kanon Wakeshima
- Nominated by SnapeFan1.
- I nominated this song because it is a very haunting yet beautiful song, by a great singer :D
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 31, 2013: Madre Terra by Globus
- It's beautiful. It should be played in church! It's very empowering and brings tears to my eyes.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 30, 2013: ナルシス・ノワール by Ali Project
- Nominated by Thedragongod.
- After nominating Papillon Rinne two year ago and winning, I decided to come back and nominate Narcisse Noir (Black Narcissus). It is one of the first ALI PROJECT songs I heard (sometime after Kinjirareta Asobi) and when I first read the lyrics I was truly touched by the song. Although some say it parallels the legend of Narcissus, it has a story of its own. The beautiful arrangements of violins and cellos, bundled with a lone piano make the song beautiful, but it is the singer's voice and the story she tells that makes the song truly moving, sad and beautiful. ALI PROJECT's music has had a profound affect on my life and continues to dazzle me. This song itself has had a truly profound affect on me. I hope--no, I know--it will do the same for you. Also, the song has been put together with animation from Haruhi Suzumiya in a truly exquisite video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8I-_uAlYfw0
And the song's melody itself sounds similar to Decadent Sentimental Song (as I have just found out from reading comments on the animation), as you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBV1ZEp1mHk and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dUIbeYZVSI
ALI PROJECT is truly a marvel.
Video: Music video on YouTube
Preferred Date: May 30, 2013 (I just remembered, it is Ali Project's tenth anniversary. If this song wins, it will be a great present for them.)
May 29, 2013: One Thing Remains by Jesus Culture
- Nominated by 115.30.55.213.
- If everything else goes wrong in one's life,God's love will enfold us and strengthen us and fill us.It will be like a fountain that overflows.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 28, 2013: 23.55: Alles Auf Anfang by Wir Sind Helden
- Nominated by Rhonda D'Vine.
- The lyrics of the band makes them stand out a fair bit - and this is a very nice song that helps to motivate me, especially the 6th verse which managed to be a permanent filler of my email signature. :)
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 27, 2013: Beds Are Burning by Midnight Oil
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- Oh, Midnight Oil...such an underrated Aussie band. This is just one of their amazing songs. Great drum rolls, a really neat-sounding chorus, and just all-around amazing!
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 26, 2013: One More Cup Of Coffee by The White Stripes
- Nominated by Parsprototo.
- A great cover of a great song by Bob Dylan. Jack gives the song his own special sound, making it a lot darker than the original tune. I also like the poor recording compared to other studio-mastered songs especially of the late 90s. The live-version on "under nova scotian lights" is also quite good, much more powerful. So, one more cup of coffee before I go, enjoy this cover.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 25, 2013: Power And The Passion by Midnight Oil
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- Straight from the Aussie band that spawned one hit in the US, "Beds are Burning", this underrated work of art is great. It's a really unique song. It even has a drum solo which they used 3 drum kits to make! How crazy is that?
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 24, 2013: I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- Bow Wow Wow took a classic '60s hit for the Strangeloves, added some heavier guitars and a Bo Diddley beat to it, and they had a perfect cover. They were a one-hit wonder, sadly, but this song remains one of my favorites from them.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 23, 2013: Realove by Hall & Oates
- Nominated by JayTehSpongetta.
- The drums are amazing and the lyrics are so true. The vocals are equally awesome, Daryl Hall never shys away from some improv. The feeling of the whole song is like a jam session and the fun-ness and free flow of that reflects on the tract. It's just a fun song.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 22, 2013: Wild Honey Pie by The Beatles
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- This is one of the Beatles more... odd songs. Off of their White Album, this song is just under a minute and was recorded entirely by Paul by overdubbing vocals and heavily plucking guitars. The result was a silly Beatles song that remains as one of the more controversial yet memorable songs by the group, and is also one of their shortest songs, the shortest being "Her Majesty".
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 21, 2013: Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons
- Nominated by 85.183.233.241.
- This song is my very favorite song of this year, because it has everything! It starts slow, but you get a glimpse of what's yet to come.
When the singer begins, i always have to smile and of course i need to sing along.
And when in the chorus the banjo begins to play, there is no way, it could keep my heart at ease.
I simply love this song.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 20, 2013: Long, Long, Long by The Beatles
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- This is a rather underrated Beatles song. Many people consider this unknown masterpiece one of Harrison's best pieces, some even think it's better than "Something". A rather quiet song, this beautiful piece of art was featured on their White Album. What this song was famous for was at the very end, Paul had left a wine bottle on one of the amps, and when he hit a certain note on the organ, the wine bottle started to shake, causing the distinct rumbling noise you hear at the end of the song.

May 19, 2013: La Isla Bonita by Glee Cast
- Nominated by 131.188.24.20.
- I nominate this video, because... well I feel like something important is missing in my life every time I hear it. And it makes me wanting to learn Spanish.
Just watch the video and you´ll know what I´m talking about.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 18, 2013: Brejker by SunS
- Nominated by FokkerTISM.
- The first ever song by Suns, it set the foot for Macedonian rock everywhere. Highly influenced by Badmingtons, it was included on the compilation album for Pop Rock Fest '92.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 17, 2013: Antibodies by Poni Hoax
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- This song is an amazing song. Starts out with an amazing keys riff, and has a groovy bass, then transforms into a ballad of sorts towards the end. This is really an underrated song and I wish more people knew about it.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 16, 2013: Two Princes by Spin Doctors
- Nominated by 24.183.236.19.
- I nominated this song because it's awesome. It describes the age-old 'Betty & Veronica dilemma'. There are two 'princes' who love this girl for different reasons. It's a great song.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 15, 2013: Revelations by Iron Maiden
- Nominated by 79.211.116.140.
- just a great song. musically brilliant! Iron Maiden, especially with Bruce Dickinson is one of the best rock bands in the world. It was the first song that Dickinson wrote for Iron Maiden.

May 14, 2013: Mission (A World Record) by Electric Light Orchestra
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- This song is just so magical, but in a way, if you give it a second thought, it almost sounds dystopian in a way. One of ELO's more underrated songs from A New World Record, this is a quiet, calming melody that will send chills down your spine.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 13, 2013: King Of Kings by Manowar
- Nominated by 76.20.116.153.
- Because this song is awesome, and everyone needs more metal in their life. \m/
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 12, 2013: Handle With Care by Traveling Wilburys
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- It's amazing to think that such a group like Traveling Wilburys existed and released 2 spectacular albums while they were together. Who would ever think rock legends Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, and Tom Petty would ever play music in the same room with each other? They made it happen - and this song is definitely one of their most legendary. It might sound like average rock fare to you at first (as it did to me), but you have to think to yourself - this actually happened! Roy Orbison might have unfortunately died during this group's run, but he sure did an amazing vocal job on this song.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 11, 2013: You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift
- Nominated by 74.37.69.83.
- Really a nice song, and I listen to it and rock out, this includes the video, and oh how that one girl gives Taylor the evil eye!!!

May 10, 2013: Tightrope by Electric Light Orchestra
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- This song is magnificent. Then again, when isn't an ELO song magnificent? This song, though - the intro is so suspenseful, and when the suspense finally hits you, the strings start a chilling melody will automatically give you goosebumps. Guaranteed. I don't understand why Jeff Lynne deemed the string section superfluous later on in the band's career when really, they aren't the same without it. This is a really powerful song with constant changes in time signature to keep you on your toes for the entire length of it.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 09, 2013: Make It Stop (September's Children) by Rise Against
- Nominated by 80.162.29.134.
- Because this song says something, about being different than most others. It also addresses the bully's and how you shouldn't let those destroy your life.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 08, 2013: Standin' In The Rain by Electric Light Orchestra
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- This is such a beautiful, out-of-this-world song by ELO. The dreamy-sounding keyboard intro just pulls you right into the ELO void as you go into a 4-minute journey full of heavily distorted, echoing vocals, pounding drums, and prominent synth riffs.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 07, 2013: Krabat by ASP
- Nominated by MusicAddict.
- The German song Krabat is about the recently late Otfried Preußler's tale of the same name. The story is summarized in a very beautiful and moving way. Notably ear-catching is the use of strings, sprechgesang in the verses and singing in the chorus creating a very dynamic sound.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 06, 2013: Drive Home by Steven Wilson
- Nominated by 71.199.220.205.
- thank you for such a passionate and longing song! delicious performances by all!! cant wait to see Steven Wilson live in tampa on april 16th... its the place to be
May 05, 2013: Waitin' Around To Die by Townes Van Zandt
- Nominated by Parsprototo.
- I'm a bit ashamed I stumbled across this masterpiece just recently when listening to a Radio Show hosted by Alison Mosshart who described it as
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 04, 2013: Still A Rose by Bee
- Nominated by 188.107.249.208.
- Most of the people know Aloe Blacc just because of his "I Need a Dollar" Song, but before that he has also done so many amazing songs, and this is one of my favorites.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 03, 2013: Float On by Modest Mouse
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- An amazing song, and definitely Modest Mouse's signature song. The guitar licks are really clean and funky-sounding, and the drums, vocals, and bass just complete it perfectly. This song also brings back the memories of playing Rock Band 2 for the first time, as this was one of the first songs I played on it.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 02, 2013: Motivation by Thi'sl
- Nominated by TheRealD.C..
- It's by an underrated artist and it's the most popular song on the album. It's a BANGER. Lyrics are powerful, as he talks about making it out of the hood and motivating the rest of his hood to follow him and make it out also.
Video: Music video on YouTube
May 01, 2013: Deep Dark Wells by Joe Pug
- Nominated by 70.36.129.8.
- I nominate this song because it's beautiful. It emphasizes the idea that we can all fall and feel defeated but we can still get up and get going again. The song was written by Harvey Thomas Young and Joe Pug's cover of this song has made it famous.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 30, 2013: Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi by Céline Dion
- Nominated by Kopf101.
- Céline Dion was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1988 with this song eventually launching her international career.
Preferred Date: April 30, 2013 (25th anniversary of the victory)
April 29, 2013: End Of The Line by Traveling Wilburys
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- One of the Wilburys's best songs. The music video foreshadows Orbison's death by showing an empty rocking chair with his guitar in it as he sings his verse, and the train gets significantly darker, which is one thing I find really interesting about the video. Such a shame that Orbison died shortly after this nice little song was recorded.
April 28, 2013: Monkey Boy by Kontrust
- Nominated by MusicAddict.
- This song from the criminally unknown Austrian Crossover band Kontrust has one of the catchiest choruses I have ever witnessed on my everlasting journey of discovering new music.
The catchiness of the chorus is mixed with playful sounds in the verses ranging from heavy guitar riffing, deep male vocals to samples, high female vocals and sound poetry. If this song doesn't make you swing your head to the rhythm, I don't know what does.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 27, 2013: Measure Of A Man by Heather Dale
- Nominated by Misty Kitty.
- Heather Dale is a fantastic singer but she isn't as well known as she deserves. Measure of a Man is, like all of her songs, very beautiful, and uplifting and sad at the same time.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 26, 2013: Status Quo by Team StarKid
- Nominated by 117.53.130.47.
- I nominated this song because it is the only song that I listen to when I feel down or depressed. I love singing along and it always lifts me up.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 25, 2013: Looking for Alaska by Hank Green
- Nominated by 154.20.141.134.
- It's heart-felt and meaningful... And it means more to Hank because his brother, John, wrote a book called "Looking For Alaska". I love this song, and more people need to hear it.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 24, 2013: The Raven That Refused To Sing by Steven Wilson
- Nominated by 83.221.143.30.
- I nominated this song because of it mellow and melancholic tone, which it does beautifully. It let's you travel inside the soul of the song.
April 23, 2013: La Cucharita by Jorge Velosa
- Nominated by UNABOHG.
- Because its meaning is fun and violence free, it represents a naive story about a simple bone spoon, nevertheless thst spoon has an important meaning to him
Preferred Date: April 23, 2013
April 22, 2013: The Spirit Of Radio by Rush
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- Ah...Rush never disappoints. They are so talented for a 3-piece band and so perfect, they should label their music to its own genre: math rock. This song is great, changing time signatures in several parts, and even a drastic change of style to reggae in two parts of the song! Neil Peart's drumming here never disappoints, with the perfect rolls and paradiddles he is known for.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 21, 2013: Oh My Love by Riz Ortolani
- Nominated by 174.254.163.119.
- Because it is sung with such hope! It's about somebody going through something very painful. Hopefully, they won't get lost in the pain and trapped by it because it will devour them. With great hope, this singer and this song warn us not to let the pain (physical, emotional, etc.) take over our lives. Instead let go and believe that there is beauty and love all around.
April 20, 2013: Happy Hellidays by Dethcentrik
- Nominated by Stefank1.
- This song isn't afraid to call out the commercial nature of the holidays, the sheepish way people fall into the trap of buying things for them, and asks if God would really want people buying material items
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 18, 2013: Grace by Devin Townsend Project
- Nominated by 72.195.176.93.
- I nominate this song because every time I hear it, I get goosebumps. I smile, it makes me happy when I'm upset. Devin Townsend also sends a wonderful message in all of his songs. He's truly reached enlightenment.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 17, 2013: O Sifuni Mungu by First Call
- Nominated by 72.27.21.250.
- THis song is over 20 years and still evokes the same emotions as when I heard it hte first time. It is timeless.
April 16, 2013: Goodnight And Thank You by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice
- Nominated by Cubs Fan.
- "Oh What a Circus" is my favorite song from Evita, but this is probably the most fun to sing along with. Dismissing Eva's suitors in turn as she climbs the social ladder, it's the interplay between all the characters that makes it memorable.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 15, 2013: I Hold My Breath by Artisan
- Nominated by 190.92.77.105.
- My ultimate favorite song EVER, the first time i listened to this song i fell in love with it, it is so romantic and heartfelt, me and my boyfriend love it as well, this is our song and when gay marriage is legalized in my country this song will definitely will be our wedding song.
April 14, 2013: More Than Words by Extreme
- Nominated by XxTimberlakexx.
- A brave departure from Extreme's earlier, hard rock and metal roots, this song is an acoustic ballad of sorts with nothing but guitar and vocals, and is one of Extreme's fan favorites.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 13, 2013: J'Aime by Salvatore Adamo
- Nominated by 2.176.50.242.
- It is extremely beautiful and sensational. It gives me a sense of lightness in my mind: as though I am on and beyond the clouds and not on earth.
April 12, 2013: This Could All Be Yours by Guster
- Nominated by 90.44.1.228.
- This song reminds me—not only of the Lion King—but also of all the time my dad prepared me to become adult and that his life would all be mine someday...

April 11, 2013: Sata Vuotta Kaivossa by Aknestik
- Nominated by 84.250.140.79.

April 08, 2013: Another Day by Mystery
- Nominated by KyoufuNoDaiou.
- A song that proves progressive rock is still alive and kicking. A song that so many people can relate to, about hoping for one more day, being able to do what you haven't done yet, and asks people who see the world as "just a game" to give it a second go. The song closes with a wonderful plea asking for another day.
Video: Music video on YouTube
April 07, 2013: Sloe Gin by Tim Curry
- Nominated by 105.236.203.88.
- Only Tim Curry could make a song about manic depression sexy. If you don't like this incredible song, you must be dead.

March 30, 2013: Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
- Nominated by Atypicaloracle.
- Macklemore is an anomaly in hiphop, and one we should be proud of.
No, not because he's a white rapper. But because he had a hit with a song rejecting the conspicuous-consumption-driven nonsense that makes up the vast majority of mainstream hiphop, because he wrote a song questioning if it was even okay for a white rapper to step up to the mic, and acknowledging that rap comes from a background that he does not share.
And most of all, because a straight rapper produced a track condemning the causual homophobia which plagues society, and pushing for acceptance for everyone.

March 22, 2013: The Music Of The Night by Andrew Lloyd Webber
- Nominated by Cubs Fan.
- One of several Andrew Lloyd Webber songs to become famous outside its parent musical, it's probably the one I've listened to the most. With Webber's majestic score and Charles Hart's quasi-romantic lyrics, there's nothing not to love. Michael Crawford did a good job in the original show, but it's Gerard Butler's version from the film adaptation that I know by heart. Happy birthday to you, Andrew!

March 10, 2013: Oh What A Circus by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice
- Nominated by Cubs Fan.
- Sharing its melody with the more famous "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina", I think it's my favorite song from Evita. A cynical assessment of Eva Perón's importance to Argentine history, it's got a little of everything: a pop-ish ballad opening and then transitioning to hard rock for the bridge. Ricky Martin's version in the 2012 Broadway revival isn't terrible, but I love Mandy Patinkin's version on the original Broadway cast recording.

Overall, this is a fantastic song and one of Rush's best.
