No time before it's too soon
No time after it's too late
Time's getting old, time's over now
Don't try to be on time
Don't try to run after time
Time's getting on, time's over now

I'm a little boy, you're a little girl
Once upon a time
I'm a little boy, you're a little girl
Once upon a time
Time's getting on, time's over now
I'm a little boy, you're a little girl
Once upon a time
I'm a little boy, you're a little girl
Once upon a time
Time's getting on, time's over now

I'm a little boy, you're a little girl
Once upon a time
I'm a little boy, you're a little girl
Once upon a time
Time's getting on, time's over now
I'm a little boy, you're a little girl
Once upon a time
I'm a little boy, you're a little girl
Once upon a time
Time's getting on, time's over now

I like the subtle drumming on this one.

I'd like this much better if it were an instrumental. The singing causes me to drop it a few points, though.

This is only the third song I've ever rated 1.  I sort of wish there was a negative rating system... the other two songs I rated a 1 weren't nearly this bad.  Perhaps I'll have to raise them back up to 2 just so they aren't in the same category.

It's hard to be negative or positive about such banality.{#Meditate}

I never want to say anything negative. So I won't say anything.

6 for me.  No - 7 because of those sinuous key changes later in the song.

When did they take "Supply" off their name?

A "1" and only because a lower number's unavalable.

It often seems that boring people get bored easy. This is in response to the comments about this song.

This is a GREAT album. Not as good as "Talkie Walkie" but definitely fits well into Air's exceptional work

Yeap...the vocals get more irritating, although the instrumental side would need something else to carry it because of its pure repetition. pity it starts off so well

I keep getting frustrated because I want to take a good listen to the songs from this album, but the songs have such an ambient feel to them that every time one gets played I seem to be concentrating on work (how bizarre) or something else, and I click on the playlist sometime later and see that one of the songs has been played and I hadn't noticed it. This may be the first time that I actually caught one playing. I wish that RP could update the playlist automatically/continuously so I wouldn't have to click on it every few minutes to see what's on now. BTW, a very nice song.
Posted 17 years ago by pevend    [ Reply ]
Overall I like Air (thanks to RP's awesome playlist) but not loving this so much.

I'm not liking this album as much as the others. It hardly compares to the transhumanism conundrum presented to us in symphonic bliss in 10,000hz. Or should I say 10,000 hurts. Maybe I just need to listen closer to their play of words. Possibly it will just take some time. But that is getting old.

Try Charlotte Gainsbourg's album, "5:55" and you will get exactly what you need.
