"Circle" by Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians were not destined to be "one hit wonders". However, you mention their name and the only song most people will recall is their smash debut single, "What I Am", which went to #7 in 1988. It pushed their first album, "Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars" to #4 on the Billboard Top 200.

The second single released from the record was the beautifully melancholy acoustic track, "Circle". The band was ahead of its time releasing a "coffeehouse" track like this before Jewel made it cool in the mid-90s. Radio was not friendly enough to the song and it stalled before cracking the top 40 (peaking at #48). Vultures were now circling the band, who tried to bounce back with the peppy "Love Like We Do". It is another great track with animation in the video to boot, but it failed to chart altogether.

The band broke up shortly after their 1990 sophomore effort, "Ghost of a Dog", flopped. Two years later Edie married Paul Simon and saw a bit of a comeback in 1994 with a song he produced called "Good Times", which went to #60. The band reunited in 2006 to release "Stranger Things".

At least I am not alone in my appreciation for the song "Circle". None other than the punk band Bowling For Soup covered it on their 2013 album, "Lunch. Drunk. Love."
