Well , I didn't get my package at 8:05 , but have the song cued up.

Skip Spence was a drummer for Quicksilver Messenger Service, then a guitarist for the Jefferson Airplane. He wrote their first single from the Surrealistic Pillow album, that being "My Best Friend".. But alas , he eventually succumbed to his drug use.
Moby Grape left a few underground classics in it's wake, including this one:

8.05
Moby Grape
Eight-oh-five
I guess you're leaving soon
I can't go on without you
Its useless to try
To love you would be so good
To keep you would be so wonderful
Here is my heart that I give
It's all that I have
Please change your mind
Before my sunshine is gone
Do you think you can try?
Do you think you can try?
Do you think you can try?
Please change your mind
Before my sunshine is gone
Do you think you can try?
Do you think you can try?
Do you think you can try?
Please understand how I feel
Until I can prove it to you
Don't fill my world with rain
You know your tears
Would only bring pain in my heart
Eight-oh-five
I guess you're leaving...goodbye
