So you're kneeled down, squinting cowardly and half asleep
You've been firing, only barely clipping her little wing
I'm waiting, with a mirror in front of me
Complicated dance move
I'm waiting, with a mirror in front of me
Complicated dance move
She's my sister, and she floats like a bird in the canopy
I'm listening, so let's go, sight locked, grit your teeth
I'm waiting, here I am brilliant, aim at me
Complicated dance move
She's my sister, and she floats like a bird in the canopy
She floats like a bird in the canopy

I don't like the atmosphere of this song, nor the lyrics

She's my sister
 
Yeah, that might be the problem with your sexy slow dancing moves.

I'm in it for the music, not the brats.
Now I will try to stop staring at the human train-wrecks, and just appreciate a great music site.

First time I've heard this one.  I like it. Job done. S funny that a few have challenges discerning their Bs and Ts.  Get yer ears cleaned.  Or improve your listening environment.  Or just listen ;-)

You sure got that right!

I like the song, but I don't need to hear it in such heavy rotation. White Socks Flip Flops it ain't.

Oooooffff. . .all rejected. Feel like I got the wind punched out of me. STILL. I stand by my assessment of this being a great album.

But in the meantime, I'll upload a couple more and see if they can survive the wrath of the LRC. Those people can be brutal.

Yep! Very good to have them on Radio Paradise. I have always wondered why great CD's like Night Of The Furies and Life Like never made the RP-playlist. Great music, lousy marketing!
 
I uploaded "Silence By the Lakeside" from Night of the Furies to the LRC where it fared pretty well but didn't make it to the main playlist. I think what we hear on RP has more to do with the whims of the Goldsmiths than with any kind of marketing.

You are going to need to upload it yourself if you want to hear it.  As of now, this is the only song from this album that RP has.

First, I'll say that the music programming is normally top notch on this station. Great variety, which I love. But in this case, I think we've heard this song PLENTY lately. Could we hear one of the other tracks on this CD for a change?

Almost certainly:

Photo still from end of Citizen Kane.

I think Bill and/or Becky must have just discovered this band as they've been playing a lot of them from various albums over the last few weeks. Which is fine by the Nottingham jury, which awards an easy 7 to this song.

Lovely, but their previous CD Life Like is their masterpiece in my opinion.

The background electronics remind me of Jansen/Barbieri(ex-Japan guys) of about 20 years ago...

Posted 13 years ago by justin4kick    [ Reply ]
She walks alone down a sleazy backstreet
Around a corner, up an alley to a dead end
There under a small blue light
She enters an unmarked doorway
A low heartbeat, a low pounding escapes into the night
This is a place she goes to fulfill a very basic need
Something people have been doing since the dawn of man
To communicate without talking
If she needs something
She makes a gesture with her hand
And mouths what she wants
She wants to make a connection
A certain kind of connection
No this is not about something from the black market
This is about no questions
This is about smoke and sweat and beats
This is about no message
