“Lake Michigan” by Rogue Wave

“Lake Michigan” by Rogue Wave appears on 8 radio countdowns from 7 stations between 2007 and 2023. It was first released in 2007 on the album Asleep at Heaven's Gate. Its best result is #66 on the KWOD Top 106 Songs of 2008. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #419 alternative song of 2008.
Zach Rogue wrote "Lake Michigan", and Rogue Wave sent it out as the first single from Asleep at Heaven's Gate, the American indie rock band's third album, which came out on September 18, 2007, with Roger Moutenot producing. The album itself drew middling reviews, but the song had a busy life beyond it: Microsoft used it in a TV commercial for its second-generation Zune music players, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty put it on its soundtrack.
