My Favorite
My Favorite are an indie pop band formed in Long Island, New York in the early 1990s, later of Brooklyn and Queens. After releasing two full-length CDs, the original band split in 2005, but reformed in 2014.
Formation and original era
My Favorite formed in Long Island in the early 1990s, and eventually migrated to the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. The original lineup consisted of founder and principal songwriter Michael Grace Jr., vocalist Andrea Vaughn, guitarist Darren Amadio, bassist Gil Abad and drummer Todd "Todbot" Karasik.
Their main influences included The Smiths, David Bowie, New Order and various singles from influential labels like Factory, Rough Trade, Cherry Red and Sarah. In negotiating these influences and impulses, they were contemporaries of Magnetic Fields and Belle and Sebastian, two bands they performed alongside in New York.
The band released two full-length CDs (Love at Absolute Zero and The Happiest Days of Our Lives: The Complete Joan of Arc Tapes), and several EPs and limited-edition, vinyl-only singles. They also made two music videos.

A Nighttime Daydream
by: My SatelliteLighting touch,
I am falling up,
Ember clouds,
Fire twisting out,
You were calling,
Me hiding silently in the deep as the hull was taking
water,
In kingdoms built of sand,
With stars that lose their place
Down, down on broken wings,
I see you in everything,
I steal each breath I take,
As night pulls on, I miss it all again,
Sutures keep me whole,
Can barely feel my hands,
Trying to maintain control,
I’m sliding to an end,
You were dying,
I was dreaming,
The first act calls me back,
