About This Song
About "Porpoise Song (Theme from "Head")" by The Monkees
The Monkees trade bubblegum for buoyant melancholy on this Porpoise Song. Harpsichords and strings swell like a tide, while the vocal floats in a dreamy, detached calm. It's a theme for a film about manufactured images, and the song itself feels like a beautiful illusion—sweet, sad, and impossibly weightless.
