It's driving me insane
I can't fake
For God's sake, why am I
Driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name
But in the end I'm not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Are you the fishy wine who will give me
A headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That'll explode without a decent warning
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That's why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Trouble is your middle name
But in the end you're not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be
So mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
(Intermezzo)
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Sheesh, what was I thinking ? This is a BIG 9.
(Not really directed at you, jvp_personal. Honestly; it isn't.)
Comments using the term "derivative" drive me nuts. So what if it sounds like Nick Drake, Led Zeppelin, Mozart, or your brother-in-law?
Is it a good song? Do you like it? Does it make you want to howl at the moon, or does it make you want to sit quietly and contemplate the moon?
nice

I actually had tickets for their concert (with orchestra) recently but had to let them go
![cry](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_cry.gif)
Wondering how far down that road they had to travel to finally find one?
Ha ha, you are so right! One does have to wonder. :)
Love this song - had to revisit Youtube one more time for the (Live at Koningin Elisabethzaal 2012) version.
Ha I did exactly the same <3

Nice! Makes me think of Bond movie intros, stiff drinks and badass ladies.
I thought it was Skyfall from the first few bars.
This would make a great James Bond song!
Perfect! It would! Now I cannot get that out of my head.
Music producer to band members after recording the final track late one Winter's evening... "So guys this album is going to be called The Magnificent Tree?"
Much nodding by band.
"Let's pack up here and head home - I can take you back to your Hotel in my car".
More nodding by band.
Producer driving along the road when he suddenly hits the brakes and exclaims "There is a tree!" so they all jump out and the producer takes a Polaroid snap of band members standing in front of the tree and shows it to them.
"What do you think?".
Some disinterested shrugging of shoulders by the band.
"Right well that will have to do - see y'all next year same time same place".
Have to admit that I've seen trees that are more magnificent than that

Exactly. I thought it would be a perfect Bond opener.

Nick Drake? The male, English folk singer who mainly sang with acoustic guitar? What are you on?
I am hearing Portishead.
Too fast to be Portishead, let's say Portishead at double speed.

That's not the only one.

Nick Cave maybe? Drake? Beats me.
Which voice?
... and various lead singers. Prominent ones included Liesje Sadonius (1996–1997), Geike Arnaert (1997–2008), Noémie Wolfs (2010–2015), and Luka Cruysberghs (2018–present).

Just curious: Which Nick Drake song(s) does this sound "derived from" to you? The chord progression (which is essentially an Andalusian cadence) doesn't sound like any of his work to me and the rhythm, vocal phrasing, and tempo are unlike anything I've ever heard from him. Maybe you're referring to the string arrangement or just some entirely different song? Was it something from his electronica/trip-hop period or were you just having a laugh? Anyhow, I guess everyone hears different things in music.

JJ Cale after becoming an eunuch on acid.
For me, that "smile" was enough to get me to go through a PITA process of switching my shared monitor from work laptop view to home PC view, just so I could rate the song. (I rated it an 8, but only because I don't give 9s or 10s until the song has duplicated the feel for me multiple times.)
Yeah, I dig that smiley groove to her singing.

...but then, after one refrain and one chorus, I drift out of it.
It's really well crafted, nothing's wrong with it - except that the emotion that the intro gives me, the following main part doesn't.

I didn't notice any strange sounds during this tune, but over the years, I have learned that strange sounds and gremlins need not be mutually exclusive.

A hoover is not what you need...a dictionary, on the other hand....
Nah, I heard the same thing in my WRX as it wound up towards 7 grand. Wait, maybe it's a camshaft.

Yes there are burps - glitches - gremlins
Still like the song, even with the hiccups.

Ditto...has that Bond-ish retro feel....
I just heard three. The sort of thing one gets with bad compression. I listen to this song all the time so I'm certain they're not supposed to be there ;)
No, you were right. Reviving one of the oldest sight-gags ever, someone (the tower?) starts relating to one of the pilots all the indicating symptoms of this food poisoning that half the passengers have contracted, and the pilot develops signs of each symptom as it is told to him, until he eventually collapses on the floor of the cockpit from food poisoning.
"We have an emergency in the cockpit!"
"What is it?"
"It's the front part of an airplane, but nevermind that now — we have an emergency!"
Me too. He's played another song (at least one) from that album. Never having heard of the band at the time, I started a thread on Mojo4music, it kind of died a death.

That was the one where everyone that ate the chicken salad sandwich got sick, right?
Never mind, that was Terror in the Sky.
That would be 1970's "Airport". Funny how these small errors can keep the comment section going for a long time... but there are still "blarps" in the mp3 encoding of this song!

a real nasty sort of "glorp" sound. sounds like what i'd imagine a microphone being dropped into an aquarium might sound like (if water didn't have that nasty tendency to short out electronics).
Me toooo!!

You have the old broken mp3 of this track in rotation again.
Please re-replace it with the one I uploaded a while a go. ;)

Yes, the old coot on "Airplane" was Barbara Billingslea, erstwhile matriarch of Leave it to Beaver. She greatly assists the Airplane crew ("Excuse me — I speak jive!") because she can translate for the brothers in 8A and 8C. The movie gave full subtitles for the jive. What a hoot. At one point, one of the brothers says "sheeeeeeit!" and the subtitle reads "Golly!" One of the funniest movies ever.
This song move me to tears..

Helen Hayes played the old coot stowaway in "Airport", the 1970 film.

And this track actually appears on "The Magnificent Tree", so there!

The update was accepted instantly, but I note that the playlist seems to lag behind...
