Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
We've just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Cup of tea, takes time to think, yeah
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Papers? What means this papers?

Time to pause and reflect on why that means so much to you.
here we go with that whiny Kenny G style sax again. Is there anything worse?
Do you also mistake your own instrument for something else?

It's an oboe, not a sax. And it's bloody lovely.
True, and well spoken too. Adorno would be proud!
RP in itself is this little floating raft, beautifully held together by idealism and a sense of humanity, but frail and always on the brink of sinking in the harsh seas of a pityless, neoliberal exploitation system. The perfect, and quite possbly one of the last places left where music is played because of the music, not because of the profit margin one could scrape off of it. It saddens me that formats like this are under constant attack by the music industry. What a perverted world this has become.
I doubt this. Same songs are played over an over just like Grady radio stations. Played because he likes them or promoting them or paid to play?

I frequent a forum that cat and very young children often post for others.

I first met Tanita back in the 80s - I would just take the time to say she is still charming
Mellowed and matured, we are coaxing her back to a mic
Oh please do!

Love this song! Hate Kenny G! No comparison!
"Look my eyes are just holograms" ππ€£π
Holograms!?! I might be an aging 80's kid, but I'm pretty sure it's Hallowed Grounds.
I always thought it was "hollowed rounds".

I always thought it was hallowed grounds too. Such a great heartbreak, moving on song. Got me through it back in the day!
She was so young when she wrote and recorded this song. The album was released when she was 19 years old and I believe she wrote the song a couple of years earlier. Such a mature song for one so young.
Agree
Twisting my sobriety and Hallowed Grounds not Holograms.. as far as I know
The second part yes, the first no.
Good job friends RP is always a various radio station,easy and complete.
Tanita Tikaram killed me a little with this track but I was excited to hear this beatiful .
Rod Argent produced a miracle.
ps: I'm a radio dee jay from Italy( famous dee jay)
congrats.
You're alone with that one.
A Very young Elton.

Exactly this.

Some songs really hold up. This is one of those.
Also, how many New Wave hits featured a lead oboe solo?
an oboe, not to be confused with a bassoon
Nice! Somebody else that I never heard of before! Thank You RP!
You just aged yourself to be a younger generation than Generation X.
Sounds a bit like a young Elton John to me.
You're alone with that one.
"neoliberal exploitation" - really?
With reference to what? Exploitation is what neoliberalism is all about.

. . . how many New Wave hits featured a lead oboe solo?
Played by a hobo; it was a hobo oboe solo.
No letters please.
Your musical appreciation is worse. Go back to sleep...nothing to see here.
Sobriety...What's that?
I do like it but she did do other tracks as well.
Agree. She is amazing. But I have noticed the same tracks are getting repeated (for many artists).
Try :
"World Outside your window"
"Cathedral Song"
I do like it but she did do other tracks as well.

This.
Not enough oboe solos in modern music.
That's an oboe, you cretin.
Your post
And it's an oboe, not a sax.
Your post
great choice

Read Nico's biography and all I could think of was the (purportedly) Chinese "curse",
"May you live in interesting times."

That perfect comment, and the insightful observation it refers to, are each worth at least 10+... :-)
I believe that it's an oboe.
Those are the mournful eyes done in oboe.....nice
A solid 9.
Hope you're now celebrating 22 years, and yes, it is a beautiful song.
I believe that it's an oboe.
This post is so funny because I came back over yesterday for the first time in a long time. RP really shaped my music listening for a long, long time - and I am actually a regular supporter but have not listened a lot for the past year or so. Came over again today and heard this song which truly is a blast from my past days of listening to RP every day, all day at work.

That's what the winsome Kate Bush, with her lovely soft SE accent, was saying in an interview on a radio arts programme two evenings ago. She was lamenting that albums are a dying art form, and I share that lament. I can't help seeing it as akin to news items on TV being now condensed to 10-second 'sound bites', tweeting, texting and the like. Not 'dumbing down', as the reactionaries would have it, but a fragmentation of lived experience driven by an increasingly frenetic 24/7 'lifestyle' where we only have short snatches of time in which to 'consume' music or art or news, itself a product of individualistic atomisation driven by consumer and finance capitalism. Or maybe I'm abstracting too much and reaching for connections. Whatever, we seem to have less and less time to enjoy things.

Congrats glad to hear you find peace in music.
I can see it still resonates...

Fred,
That's definitely the first time I have heard a SE accent described as "lovely soft" and I thank you for it.
Me Dad bought my pram in Bexleyheath after a 4 mile walk and in time I had to walk past St Jo's (KB's school) every day for years until i learned how to jump the fence and board the train for free.
The rest of your post is a tad esoteric and, well, perfect. So much so, that a T shirt with the poem is in the works!
Ta.
Dave Dixon was a great DJ. WDET was a great radio station even though they fired Dixon for insisting to play tunes by the Butt Hole Surfers. WDET was still great right up until they changed formats in 2006 I think it was.
Wow, good call. I can totally see why one would think that.
Me too. It's dreary and absent of any beautiful melancholy.
I think it HAS perfectly beautiful melancholy, perhaps the weaving in and out of the oboe. Very mystical sounding.
![{#Roflol} {#Roflol}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_roflol.gif)
I think it's the second pronunciation. This song is bleak but it's also beautiful to me.
Dave Dixon sounded like a pretty funny guy. Remember when FM djs were interesting, with actual personalities? Haven't listened to FM in years.
Did a cat walk across the keyboard for Basia's last name? Reminds me of the running joke in the 70s TV police comedy "Barney Miller": there was a character whose last name sounded something like "Wojohowitz." People would ask him how his name was spelled, he'd say, "Like it sounds"...and their eyes would glaze over.
Had to look it up: it was spelled "Wojciehowicz". A-HEM.
This one really grabs me for some reason. No rational reason I should give it a 9, but there is where it is for me.
Oboe or another double-reed or related animal. If that's a classical clarinet, then IMHO that musician should be fired (except for gigs like this).
There is an oboe player listed on the album credits.

I vote oboe instead of clarinet, but synths have gotten sooooooo sophisticated that it's very difficult to distinguish them from the real McCoy.

Maybe both? One of the great things about trying to figure out influences is finding multiples in one song, indeed a single phrase--like looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing a little bit of your mother and a little bit of the milkman.

This ignorant comment deserves far more down votes.
