I love this song as well. Usually one of the first I play when spinning the self-titled Melon classic. It sets me right into a mellow groove at the beginning, kind of in a similar way that The Beatles 'Within You Without You' does. 'Sleepyhouse' has an aura of innocence at a time when the band was still learning from experimenting. The journey and feelings of the band creating the first album is layed out for us with this song in some ways. And yeah, mikejohnston1989, what was with Shannon's fascination with tinfoil?! Immediately, Shannon sitting there being interviewed on 'Letters From a Porcupine' with tinfoil covering his entire head comes to mind. Pretty bizarre sight...but hey...that was Shannon.
