Day 2: A collaboration between two or more artists
Immediately I thought of Such Great Heights by The Postal Service.

The Postal Service formed in Seattle, Washington in 2001.

The band started life as a side project for singer Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie and producer Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, Headset and Figurine.

The group's name comes from the manner in which their songs were written, due to the fact that the two of them lived too far away to be able to work together in person. Tamborello would create beats and mail them to singer and lyricist Gibbard, who would then edit them and put his melodies over the tracks and mail them back. Gibbard didn't write any of the lyrics until the tracks were completely finished.

Sitting Still - R.E.M.

just one of THOSE songs... it sits in your mind, chugging in the background and one day, in this case, a sunny Spring day when the air is just warm enough and the light is mine, when the world seems to be waking from a slumber, buzzing with life again, that feeling inside that maybe, just maybe, that life isn't totally shit, this plays in your head, the jangle of the guitar, the snap of the drums at the starts and that beautiful yearning call of "I can hear you."

I would be remiss if I didn't post a song by Avantasia for day two considering the entire project that Tobias Sammet has ventured on is all collaborative.

"lesser known" because for sure not like their usual songs. I love this cover. It is perfect. And I saw this video for the first time today. (I've pretty much stopped watching music videos since 2008.)

I first heard this on the Juno soundtrack. (One of my favorite movies.) The end has what I like to call, "diarrhea guitar." *chef's kiss*

Superstar - Sonic Youth

I love Barenaked Ladies, and I wouldn't say this is one of their best songs, but it does have one of my favorite lyrics.

"Do you know everyone you ever swore /
You'd love for life? /
I don't know them anymore /
I know their names, I'd recognize them on the street /
And I don't love them."

Barenaked Ladies - "Maybe Katie"

“Laughin' at the way
That you would say, ‘If only, baby
There were cameras in the traffic lights
They'd make me a star
They'd make me a star’”

Maybe not fully lesser known, but chronically underrated when listing his best songs
