He's a real live wire
He's the best of his kind
Wait till you see those eyes
He dresses like this different scene
He'll kiss you, make you feel sixteen
What's it even mean?

Are you here, are you here?
Are you here 'cause my heart
Recalls that it all seems the same
It all feels the same, pick me up

It's hard to recall the taste of summer
When everywhere around, the chill of winter
It gets so far away

Are you here, are you here?
Are you here 'cause my heart
Recalls that it all feels the same

And he comes to lay me down
In a garden of tuberose's
When he comes around
There's nothing more to imagine
Just tuberose's, tuberose's

Are you here? Are you here?
Are you here 'cause my heart
Recalls that it all seems like
All looks like, it all feels like
It tasted like, tasted, tasted like

When he comes to lay me down
In a garden of tuberose's
When he comes around
There's nothing more to imagine
Just tuberose's, tuberose's

Wait till you see those eyes

Billie Holliday reincarnated with a 21st century spin!  Love it!
The cats making those sounds are as happy as my ears.  I think she's dreamy.

Structurally I'm getting a small P.J. Harvey vibe off this. That's a good thing!
Like a retro Sia. Love it, 8 out the gate.
meh
I saw her last night in Atlanta... Center Stage theater. This is probably the one and only song that she missed the mark on.

With that said, every other song this lady does is wonderful. She is special. So go see her if you have the chance.

Maybe Jeff Buckley without the emotion.

Perhaps not everyone is an automaton and CAN hear and feel the emotion and loss in this song written for Corinne's recently passed husband.  btw: the tuberose is considered a funeral flower if it helps.

I think it would be better if there was a rating called 'Meh'. . . but I guess Ho Hum is about the same. 

I always think of RP as selecting great tunes from all kinds of styles and ages. This misses the mark for me.

Mmmmm.  Delicious.
7 I quite enjoy the album!  I prefer the song "Put your record on" though.
