A Song for Me
With long acoustic intro's and outro's this does appear to be a song for the writer, but between these is an uptempo Beatles style rock song.

A Song for Will
Dark subject matter is laid over the most upbeat and cheery song on the record, an interesting contrast for a song that drums up 1950's pop rock.

A Song for Yesterday

Los Angeles band Sandbox blends vintage tones with indie dance rock rhythms and dabbles in hip-hop, country, and acoustic driven songs to add a few pieces of flare. Sandbox began in 2009 as the recording project of Shane Sweet, but since has been joined by Daniel Rodriguez on drums, Kevin Crimi on guitar/vocals, Star Mendoza on bass, with Morgan Paros and Kaitlin Wolfberg playing violins/synths/percussion/vocals.
"Songs for Friends, Family and the Times," the first full length release (then under the moniker Sandbox Rebel, which had to be changed due to legal reasons in 2011) led to a West Coast tour as well as performances in the UK for BBC Radio 1, The Glasgow Green Festival and The Fringe. In the same year "Sandbox Presents" was born. "Sandbox Presents" shows are art installations where the band books the other acts and creates different environments and worlds to stage the show in. A Night In the Woods was the 2010 installation and saw a Los Angeles warehouse turned into a forest complete with butterflies, fireflies, owls, snow, aerialists and more. The 2012 installation set for debut in March is The Speakeasy to be set in Prohibition Era Griffith Park complete. Also set for March 2012 is the release of the second full length record from Sandbox titled "Me & Him and Horse" and is being produced by Dave Cooley (Silversun Pickups/Mickey Avalon.)
