The song of the day is Carnival from the 1995 album Tigerlily by singer-songwriter and musician Natalie Merchant. Merchant was lead singer and primary lyricist for 10,000 Maniacs from 1981 (when the group was called ‘Still Life’) until she left in 1993. She also played the piano on seven studio albums with the group. Tigerlily was Merchant’s debut solo album and Carnival was her first top-ten hit. The music video shows Merchant walking the streets of New York City taking pictures. In the lyrics, she compares the sights and sounds of the city to a carnival. The camera is a Leica M3.
