Elf Power
Elf Power is an indie rock band that originated in Athens, Georgia. Currently, the line-up consists of guitarist/vocalist Andrew Rieger, keyboardist Laura Carter, guitarist Jimmy Hughes, bassist Derek Almstead, and drummer Eric Harris. They are part of the Elephant Six Collective.
History
The band began as a four-track recording project of Rieger, his then girlfriend Carter, Raleigh Hatfield and Dave Wrathgeber, later of Fablefactory. These recording sessions eventually resulted in the first incarnation of their debut album Vainly Clutching at Phantom Limbs. The band's line-up expanded when Reiger and Carter recruited Elephant Six musician Bryan Poole, also known as The Late B.P. Helium. While the band occasionally played live shows and continued to record, Poole chiefly stayed in Athens to continue work with Of Montreal while Rieger and Carter moved to New York City.
Mid–late 1990s
After residing in New York for some time, the band released The Winter Hawk EP in 1995. Eventually, Rieger and Carter were convinced to move back to Athens, where the band's second album When the Red King Comes was ultimately recorded and released as a joint venture between the Arena Rock Recording Co. and the Elephant Six label. The album featured contributions by members of The Olivia Tremor Control, Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal, and Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel.
All the Same
"All the Same" is the first single released from Sick Puppies' 2007 album Dressed Up as Life, though it was first released on their self-titled EP a year before the album. It reached #8 on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and featured in the Free Hugs Campaign. The radio edit cuts off the middle of the second verse and end of the third verse, whereas there are no vocals in the third verse.
Music videos
The song has three music videos.
The first is the video of Juan Mann, a man in Sydney famous for initiating the Free Hugs Campaign. The video which has received over 77 million hits on YouTube to date has helped the band gain airplay in the U.S.
The second is a video with both Juan Mann's Free Hugs Campaign and a live performance. The video went to #7 on Fuse TV's Number 1 Countdown.
The third is the first video without the Free Hugs Campaign. It has a storyline about the lead singer and his love interest and the tumultuous relationship they are having. Between the girl's presumed infidelity and temper tantrums, he presumably gives up on the relationship.

Oh What A Beautiful Dream
by: Elf PowerLift me up through the tops of the trees,
and I'll sleep till the morning,
come to live in the glorious dream,
let me sleep till the morning
I'm thinking of drinking the entire sea
Where fishes make wishes and swim into me,
There is no place other that I'd rather be,
Oh what a beautiful dream
Just remember invisible eyes,
They will see you clearly,
So surrender now into the night,
and you'll sleep so deeply
I'm thinking of drinking the entire sea
Where fishes make wishes and swim into me,
There is no place other that I'd rather be,
Oh what a beautiful dream
And I've lost my head inside the dream,
And I’ll pain the scene for you
But not before I wake from sleep
No, not before I wake from sleep
