"See You Again" by Lapdog

In 1998, lead singer Glen Phillips left the folk rock band Toad the Wet Sprocket to pursue a solo career (the band would later reunite in 2010). Guitarist/vocalist Todd Nicolas and bassist Dean Dinning continued to write and play music together with some new recruits under the moniker Lapdog.

Lapdog released the first of their two records, "Near Tonight," in 2001. Continuing largely in the Toad tradition, the songs are melodic and filled with rich harmonies, so it is odd the group didn't win over many hearts.

"See You Again" is the lush lead-off track, and it makes a good first impression. The tune was co-written with the members of Athenaeum. It's a shame no one threw Lapdog a bone.
