I found these lyrics (the page said that the name of the song was either "As The Day Breaks" or "Snowflake"):

Save your breath
Save you promises
Be the death of you
Save your white rice newlywed I do's
I do's
See us glide
As much alike as snowflakes
On the ice
Drifting as the day breaks through

Save your strength
For the altitude
Ushers us to dream
People can't be everything
They seem to be
Not you
Not me

See us glide
As much alike as snowflakes
On the ice
Drifting as the day breaks through

Stole a wall
To have [grab a] smoke
And in the breath you drew
Must've know I was feelin' lonely too

See us glide
As much alike as snowflakes
On the ice
Drifting as the day breaks through
The dog's looking at me now because I mentioned Bono 
Fantastic...I'd love to hear way more of this style here...

Bono? No. No Bono.
 

So you're saying you're not Pro Bono?
Uh-uh-uh-uh-boring. Nothing's happening here.
Nice. Sounds a little Depeche Modey, without the  trademark 'pffffft' sounding percussive element.
This is really good! ;)
Can I hear The Blue Nile though?
This is really bad.

Little bit of Bryan Ferry too...like it lots

Bought this CD after I heard it on RP. Excellent piece of ambience.

That's what I came to say. Tangerine Phillips.

Nice!

Carmen Rizzo has put out some good work. This album is one of the ones I listen to at night a lot. Thanks RP for opening this door for me.

So now it just says "censored"  Ahhh, good times.
 
Bill and God didn't like it {#Cheesygrin}

I just used Firefox to block the art work.

Nothing personal, y'understand.
Grant Lee Phillips could read the phone book and I would be entranced.............  {#Hearteyes}

If so, that surprises me as well!

Ahh, I thought I recognized that voice. Thanks.

This one caught my attention.

He was the engineer for Conjure 1?  No wonder I like it.

Nice pick Bill!

 


always love his voice, don't care too much for this, though.
Limburger anyone?
I like it...reminds me of a song you might hear mixed into a good deep house mix
Simple Minds sound alike.

"The lost art of the idle moment". A very fitting album title in these days. Very good song too.

This explains why I'm drawn to this one. Not so much for Grant, but for that lead rhythm. Tasty, and well played. SoundsGoodToMe wrote:

Thats like saying John Lovits is a poor mans Brad Pitt just because they both have brown hair.
ROFL!!! That's funny.
Was that Bono?

Don't insult Blue Nile by association! Thats like saying John Lovits is a poor mans Brad Pitt just because they both have brown hair.
A poor mans Blue Nile to my ears.

I've noticed a glut of Bono comparisons on this website - basically any male singer who has a breathy quality in his voice gets the Bono treatment. I beg to differ: Grant Lee's voice in such a different context quite simply soars.
Sorry, definitely Bono 2. Reminds me of back in the day, when Simple Minds were also known as U3
Oooh. Nice transition from Depeche Mode's "John The Revelator"!
rizzo the rat would make a better tune zzzzzzzzzzzz

Yup. Thought it was a U2 remix.
Grant Lee Phillips of Grant Lee Buffalo fame... Check out the Album Might Joe Moon. One of my top 10 albums from the 90s

This song seems entirely too whiny, and lacking energy. :/

Are you sure this isn't The Blue Nile?
Interesting arrangement. Pretty good stuff.
Nice album cover. The music is all right too.
