All I need is a little time
To get behind this sun and cast my weight
All I need is a peace of this mind
Then I can celebrate

All in all there's something to give (all in all there's something to give)
All in all there's something to do (all in all there's something to do)
All in all there's something to live
With you...
With yooouuuu...

Our Way
Our Way
Our Way


All I need's a little sign
To get behind this sun and cast this weight(get behind this sun) of mine
All I need's the place to find
And there I'll celebrate

All in all there's something to give (all in all there's something to give)
All in all there's something to do (all in all there's something to do)
All in all there's something to live
With you...

Smooooth. L'epitome de chic. Monsieur, donnez-mois un pernod e un Gauloise, if it pleases you.  9 du jury di Nottingham, wishing we were on the rive gauche.

Considering the lead singer is from Tampa and Boston, she has a peculiar way of enunciating "do" and "you" in this song.

It's funny how the word "supply" can change something from diamonds to poop. :)

Alright, while this is a good song, there are way better AIR songs. For starters, the first track off this album is terrific- "La femme d'argent."
Next off, IMO Le Voyage Dans La Lune, their most recent release is their best album by far.
 
Don't worry, there are over 25 other AIR tunes on the RP playlist, and they get played here as well.  Bill just happened to play this one at the time you wrote your comment.  "La Femme D'Argent" probably gets more airplay here than this number.

Vinyl for me.

Most of the music I listen to was written, engineered, sequenced, etc. for vinyl.

Plus, the packaging was (is) great.

The surface noise is a part of it.

Maybe it's because the hearing in my left ear is permanently damaged but I never heard the difference between vinyl and a good CD recording. I was so glad to leave annoyance of LPs behind: sun/heat damage, scratches, bad pressings, dust, etc. Gack. 

 
If I concentrate, I can hear the difference, but I've never really thought one was better than the other -- just a wee bit different. I'll take digital music any day.

While I can appreciate the difference between vinyl and digital I am not about to get into any argument - but let's just agree I have in-depth knowledge of high end systems. 

Which leads me to say that I have spent a great deal of time and money creating a digital high end hi-fi system. I'll not bore you with the detail. . . but what I can say is that I can get a sound out of this album that will match (almost) ANY vinyl front end system out there. 

So there. . . Nahhhh!

I really like Air (my wife loves them big time) and wonder why they didn't work with this singer more often.  But maybe that is a plus in terms of having different sounds.  But the vocals of the boys themselves don't usually appeal to me.

Hard to believe this record is 13 years old already. Seems not so long ago it was released.  And yet it also feels oddly timeless.  If it's not a perfect 10, it is certainly close.
