Now always, i wait for you
To take this pale opaque
And let some light go through
Kicked the life from me
Left a headless drum
Crushed the rabbit cage
Of my skeleton

Overload on 'let's get lost'
Scratched your farewell couplet
In my window frost
Kicked the life from me
And none better comes
Till one better comes
There goes the sun

Hope there's love where you may land
Let this frost heave open up
And take me in
Kick this life from me
Till one better comes
Till one better comes
There goes the sun

That rhythm section is tight, especially the drummer. Like clockwork but in a flattering way.

Joe Pernice and his mates: elegant, breezy, melodic tunes. Great act.

Great song and underrated band. Does anyone remember the lead singers first band - Scud Mountain Boys? Good, but this is better.

Perhaps my favourite band.

Joe Pernice is a hidden gem. If you enjoyed this I highly recommend anything of theirs.

Nice selection, Bill.

I thought just for a minute that it was Radiohead.

Hadn't heard this before. Would like to hear it again. Reminds me of some of my old 80s music.

Great idea!  If you'll allow me to get technical about it, Here Comes the Sun should be played at 7:28 AM, while There Goes the Sun should be played at 5:27 PM. *

* Times may vary, depending on whether you're right here, and whether it's today.

 
Isn't it always "today"?  Good tune - this band always had good album covers too.

When it started up, I thought it was Jesus & Mary Chain - still pretty good, though.

From Cohen's The Future, to London Calling, to Lost Cause, to There Goes the Sun...what is this, the Apocolypse Set?

Another one of those songs that I know almost by heart... but hadn't ever looked at the playlist to see who it was. So tonight I'm on the site but not listening and see something I don't recognize on the playlist... start up the player and .... Ohhhh. Sure. I know this.
 
I do that a lot.

Anyway. 7.
 
Same here.

Exactly the same reaction for me... the song I know well, but the artist's name surprised me (i.e. I've never noticed it before, even though I've heard the song many times on RP... or at least enough for it to feel like an old friend).

this song reminds me why I hate regular radio. They would never play this! And it's GOOD!  Instead they play the same crap over and over again.

Saw these guys at the Dogfish Head Brewery in Rehoboth, Delaware a coupla years ago. They were quite good (as was the house made beer--and house made WHISKEY). As of now--there's only one Pernice in the band (the singer and songwriter), and they had this young kid who played guitar and keyboard and even bass, I think--and he was incredible. Great band, check out their catalog!

I rather liked this one. Made me think of some of the alternative music from the 80s I enjoy.

Rather haunting quality
Posted 16 years ago by highwindows    [ Reply ]
This is not my style I guess. This song seems repetative and just Ho-Hum (not even really deserving of that rating IMHO).

Could there be a little sonic callback to VU\'s \"Who Loves the Sun?\" during the chorus?

Know what? I much prefer you to your sister, cat. That said, I wasn't as struck by this tune as you. It only scored in the pretty good range for me, but perhaps a second listen will change that.

I slipped off the hook after it caught me. OK song though. 11/23: 6 up to 7

Fabulous artists! Outstanding album. So, whoever you are . . . your upload made it into the main before mine, huh? Well, at least Pernice Brothers are on the RP map. Kudos! There weren't any Pernice Brothers listed as having been uploaded when I uploaded mine. Didn't know the new 3 from a single artist = instant reject rule when I first tried. Later, I went back and tried again. Check the LRC for more and give a listen. Pernice Brothers - Somerville reviewing 7/6 (54%) It's a nice tune and needs some thumbs up.
