  In January 2004, Mercury Rev performed live on the "Jools Holland" show, a notable moment that came shortly after the release of their album "The Secret Migration" in January 2005. This album marked a return for the band following their acclaimed 2001 release, "All Is Dream." "The Secret Migration" sought to explore new sonic landscapes while also revisiting the ethereal qualities that characterized their earlier work. During this period, the band's lineup featured significant contributions from founding member Jonathan Donahue and other collaborators who enriched their sound. Interestingly, the performance of "Secret for a Song" showcased the band's ability to blend melancholic lyrics with lush instrumentation, a hallmark of their style. This live appearance was instrumental in re-establishing their presence in the indie music scene after their earlier highs in the '90s.
