Well painted passion,
You rightly suspect,
Impersonation,
The dumbing down of love,
Jaded in anger,
Love underwhelms you,
No box of chocolates,
Whichever way you fall.

And if I tell you,
Lover alone without love,
What will happen?
Lover alone without love,
Will you miss him?
Lover alone without, without love,

No, no I'll get this,
I want to treat you,
You're still not famous,
And you haven't struck it rich,
Underachieving,
'Cause no one's receiving,
This tunnel vision,
It's turning out all wrong.

And if I tell you,
Lover alone without love,
What will happen?
Lover alone without love,
Will you miss him?
Lover alone without, without love.

Music is worthless unless it can,
Make a complete stranger,
Break down and cry.

And if I tell you,
Lover alone without love,
What will happen?
Lover alone without love,
Will you miss him?
Lover alone without, without love.

Without love,
Without love yeah.

Apparently I am the only person who felt this way, but that was one of the dullest songs I have ever heard. A firm 1.

This is yet another good reason to click over to Amazon and buy the album if you don't have it already. (I've had it for quite a while now, and it's still in heavy rotation in the car and at home.) This song paints quite a mood. I really like the trumpet/flugelhorn bit at the end of this piece.

Well, it was good background music until I began to notice it. Had been playing for a half hour or so, or was that only my imagination? The blending of Ms Amos into Frou may have enhanced that illusion. (Or was it?) I began to get uncomfortable about 2/3 of the way along and by the end I was close to annoyed with the high, whiny, slightly winded sound, which is not what I desire for my listening pleasure.

Oh my - I'm starting to feel like I want to buy an album of this delightful stuff...between the Garden State sound track and severl other Frou Frou songs I've heard on this station, I'm really starting to dig it!

Hard to play this as background music and that's a compliment. They force you to listen, or else make you push the mute button, not something inbetween. Very daring, imaginative, atmospheric music.

Frou Frou is great stuff. I nice combination of trip-hop and "Tori Amos-ish" vocals. Very unique! I really suggest their Details album.

I really like Frou Frou - she's so '20s - like Billie Holiday and Dido - I even like the Shrek II remix of "Holding Out For A Hero"
"She" is Imogen Heap. Frou Frou is the duo of Imogen and songwriter Guy Sigsworth.. Her voice really shines on this track. Great album, too!

Nice song to listen to while soaking in the bath.
