“Honor” bestowed on Boulder band Big Head Todd at Clinton’s DNC speech

Big Head Todd honored to own Hill's campaign song

With all the glitz and glam celebrities parading around Denver this week, it was easy to overlook a really proud moment for Boulder-based band, Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Big Head Todd’s song, Blue Sky, blared on Tuesday night as Hillary Clinton made her historic and moving speech at the DNC rally at the Pepsi Center (although Big Head Todd’s song, Bittersweet, might have been more apropos).

The Daily Camera in Boulder caught up with Big Head front man, Todd Park Mohr, to see what impact Clinton’s campaign theme song has had on the band.

Mohr said, "It was a really proud moment for me, only because I thought her speech was historic… I think her campaign was historic, what it represents to women's issues, and what the Democrats care about -- it's all intertwined, and if it has the best effect of putting a Democrat in the White House I'm proud to be involved in any way."

Mohr told the Daily Camera that he hasn’t seen a spike in sales of on iTunes, but that it was more of “honor” than anything.

The lyrics of the song are quite befitting for Clinton’s feisty run for the White House – although they would have been more befitting had she snagged the Dem’s nomination:

Blue Sky Lyrics as performed by Big Head Todd and the Monsters

We’ve waited long for this day to come
For all the midnight lights we’ve burnt into the morning sun
I can’t wait to see your sweet mysteries
The stars, the sun, the universe, the galaxies
Fly home on your silver wings
With a new song for the world to sing
Light this candle, make it right

Yes you can change the world
True love discovers. She stands, and she won’t back down
Oh yes you can change the world
There is no other one just
See if you can find blue sky

Gonna chase the dream, gonna set it free
Gonna make it real, gonna make it shine, gonna keep it grooving on
One small stepping stone
Baby we’re not alone
Gonna take you further, higher, faster then you're outta sight
You’ve got my flame in your fire
You’ve got my twinkle in your eye,
Reaching for the distant light

Yes you can change the world
True love discovers. She stands, and she won't back down
Oh yes you can change the world
There is no other one just
See if you can find blue sky

Don’t change too late, hey, yeah yeah
Or Fade away, hey, yeah yeah,
My stars won’t wait

Oh yes you can change the world
True love discovers. When she stands and she won't back down.
There is no other one
Believe and you will find blue sky
