Daniel, when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under wild blue sky
Marble movie sky
I found a home in your eyes
We would never be apart
And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden blue
Car you took me to
The darkest place you knew
And you set fire to my heart
When I run in the dark
(Daniel)
Into a place that's lost
(Daniel)
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
(Daniel)
I dream of home
But in the goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our mouths the tears crept
Just kids in the eye of the storm
And as my house spun round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again
When I run in the dark
(Daniel)
Into a place that's lost
(Daniel)
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
(Daniel)
I dream of home
When I run in the dark
(Daniel)
Into a place that's lost
(Daniel)
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
(Daniel)
I dream of home...
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under wild blue sky
Marble movie sky
I found a home in your eyes
We would never be apart
And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden blue
Car you took me to
The darkest place you knew
And you set fire to my heart
When I run in the dark
(Daniel)
Into a place that's lost
(Daniel)
Under a sheet of rain in my heart
(Daniel)
I dream of home
But in the goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our mouths the tears crept
Just kids in the eye of the storm
And as my house spun round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again
When I run in the dark

Huge respect and gratitude to Radio Paradise for working for the rapprochement of peoples and continents in our turbulent times! With love from Russia !
There's close to zero artists that have explored the feelings of a childhood crush and expressed those emotions in song. This is actually really unique stuff.
Natasha Khan is so stunningly talented it takes my breath away. Can't for the life of me understand why she isn't more, more ..... !

There are clear similarities, especially in some of the phrasing, but the chord progressions are certainly not "identical" - they're not even in the same key.

Looks like it's time for you and Rebecca to clear out your desks and make way for the, obviously superior, musical mind of sirdroseph. I've enjoyed your programming but, apparently, the new music you are giving us is just not very advanced. 
(who knew?) And please remove this song from the playlist, sirdroseph says it sucks, therefore, it can't be any good. I do enjoy your station breaks and I hope sirdroseph keeps you both on as RP employees.
Best Wishes,

I listened to this album in its entirety on a car journey recently, and it's plainly a 'concept album' telling a story as the songs are definitely linked, but I couldn't figure out what the story is. Anybody here know?

I can only speak for myself and this may be a genuine trend you have found, but in my case you are DEAD wrong. I keep up with new music far ahead of just this contemporary adult radio station, I just happen not to like a lot of the newer bands that RP likes to play. I love a lot of new music that is probably considered too avant garde and strange to play on this somewhat conservative albeit very good radio station. It is doubtful that most of the listeners here have even heard of most of the new music that I listen to so don't try to pigeonhole me into an antiquated Classic rock listening old fogey, this could not be more offbase!
I'm certainly not going to imply that I have tastes so much more advanced than RP listeners at large, but I do understand what sirdroseph is talking about. As much as I love RP, there is a lot of stuff that I like that wouldn't make the playlist (such as my recent uploads that were shot down) due to either being too odd, too weird, or too unappealing to the majority of the RP listeners. RP isn't conservative or stodgy in any sense and I hear a greater variety of music here than I have ever heard anywhere else, but they don't provide the cutting edge indie music that I like. That's ok, I still listen to RP more than any other kind of radio by far.
The way I see it, RP is a large part of my musical life, but when I have a itch RP doesn't scratch, I know where to go.

As I discovered many oldies goldies while listening to RP, I couldn't help notice how some new artists are disregarded, it seems, just because they're new.
Then again some things are a matter of taste, like me never being able to cope with Neil Young's voice or the Talking Heads

Yes, I know that you are not restricted to the classic rock stuff and suspect that most other RP listeners are not either. It just seems like the majority of the negative comments for this tune came from listeners who have very few songs less than 35-years-old as their "10" through "8" ratings. I didn't mean that as an affront to those folks either - hell, I love plenty of stuff that could be called classic rock as well - I was observing that Bat For Lashes would be more likely to sound "discordant", "noisy" or just "crappy" to those more aligned with more long-accepted forms of popular music.

Bat For Lashes = BSG conspiracy fans?
Look, here is the deal. I love Bluegrass, Americana, Hip-Hop, Jazz from Dixieland to Beebop to modern, the Blues from Bessie Smith to Taj Mahal, Electronica, Indie Rock and Folk and yes, Classic rock, but this song sucks regardless of what I like. Clear enough for ya?

I listen to RP despite the too common occurrence of of classic rock. I think I saw that you were in Tokyo. If you grew up in the States during the last 40 years then you would know that classic rock has been driven into the ground and beat to death. Those that still love it generally have never expanded their minds as to what constitutes good music and are content to live in the past.

With my arms around your neck

There seems to be a disturbing influx of high-pitched warblers on RP lately. Bjork, Bat for Lashes, many Joni Mitchell songs, and Neil Young all give me seizures.

Couldn't agree more though I do like a lot of Neil Young songs.

Doesn't seem like a fair trade. Throw in a glove and I'll give you my lashes.

what a nice voice!
Pretty big disconnect between a 7+ rating and the comments.
I'm hit and miss on her stuff, but I like this one a lot.

for some reason i'm hearing a downtempo Forest (by the cure) in the bassline and drums.
i guess that's just a generic 80's pop rhythm feel?

There seems to be a disturbing influx of high-pitched warblers on RP lately. Bjork, Bat for Lashes, many Joni Mitchell songs, and Neil Young all give me seizures.

Best thing about this is the hope this bumps some of the Kate Bush tunes from the rotation.

Edit: I ran some quick numbers, and if you can get 500 more people to vote this song a '1', you'll be pretty close. I'd love to help, but I happen to like it, a lot.
How does this average 7.2 and not 2.7 ?

This started out as a 1 for me but is moving up the more I hear it. (Now a 2).

Odd. This started as an 8 for me. After hearing it many times, and downloading it, and listening a few more times, I can't find any reason not to move it to a 10. For now it's a 9, as it may wear thin with too much exposure. Funny how two normally rational people can have two completely different opinions about the same thing.I started this out at a 3.

What an excellent song! I love the beat and the atmospheric, cathedral-like feel of the whole thing...
I keep thinking that i have to compare this to Florence an the Machine and I have to say I would much prefer Florence and the Machine thats if I were forced to compare that is.
I've somehow missed this in the rotation. But I'm not really a fan of the breathy girl singing thing.I'll hold off on rating this time around, but I think it's probably a 5 or 6 unless it either gets better every repetition, or finishes REALLY strong.
weeeeeeeelll.........
Oh no, not AGAIN....
It's not a bad song, but it is simply being played too often.
It's not a bad song, but it is simply being played too often.I like what I am hearing from this album. Like the "Lungs" album by Florence and the Machine, it has some very intriguing song and the singers both have gorgeous voices.
Interesting too, she's wearing a heart on this album and Florence is wearing a set of lungs on hers!

I really like it. Facebook kept bugging me with ads like "If you like soandso, check out...". But, I really love this mood/feel. It's pretty unique.

Lucky you. It's been too long since I've heard it. Keep in mind that playing a song only once a day would be unthinkable for a Top 40 station. I heard that bloody Lady Gaga song three times over the course of one day, and on a radio that I only spent a total of 1 hour within earshot of.
Weird. I just heard this yesterday afternoon, didn't I? I'm not used to hearing repetition on RP. A fluke?

Okay. This was played less than 24 hours ago. Give it a rest. It's not that compelling.

Saw them/her live a few weeks ago - it was fantastic. Her voice is amazing and I really liked the songs she did from her first album (gotta dig someone playing the autoharp).

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why folks are making such a big deal over her. Not bad, but completely forgettable.

Yeah I dunno, maybe everyone needed another Kate Bush / Bjork relapse. I have trouble understanding the lyrics too.

Edit: Ironically, "The Unforgettable Fire" immediately followed her.

This kind of music wasn't particularly good when it first emerged back in the eighties. 25 years hasn't made it any better.
Enya with a beat

I really, really, really dig the album art. I read she's a visual artist as well so maybe she had input on the cover?
More intriguing sound...I like
