Lyon - Lullaby

It’s Flashback Friday. And, on another, more just timeline, I wouldn’t be writing about Lyon’s “Lullaby” at all. Because you would have already heard it. Because it’s so profoundly special. Kind of like College x Electric Youth’s “A Real Hero.” Imagine a timeline where that song flew under the radar, didn’t make it on to the Drive soundtrack, and faded into obscurity. Lyon’s “Lullaby” did everything right, it just didn’t get that artificial bump it needed to cross the exposure threshold and cement itself as a timeless classic. Which brings us here, reflecting back on what could have been, while still holding out flickers of hope that it’s not too late to alter the course of history for this impeccable, honest, and perpetually important tune.
