If I don't get out of this I I wish, I just want you to know that I really really love you.

So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

We think we're heroes, we think we're kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh look how great we have become

Key in the door, the moment I've been longing for
Before my bag hit the floor
My adorable children rush up screaming for a kiss,
and a story, they're a gift to this world
My only claim to glory
I surely never knew sweeter days
Blows my mind like munitions
I'm amazed

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world can ever hold

We're just children, we're just dust
We are small and we are lost
And we're nothing, nothing at all

One bomb, the whole block gone
Can't find me children and dust covers the sun
Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion
But to some, another fun day in Babylon
I'm gonna bury my wife and dig up my gun
My life is done so now I got to kill someone

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

Wow!  I never listened to this band before, but after this first bite I'm hungry for more.
With the conflicts raging in Gaza and the Ukraine at this moment in history, the lyrics provide much food for thought.

"No Roots" is pretty solid as well.

Hadn't heard this before, but I will follow your advice and listen to the whole album. Thanks! Not sure how I haven't heard of Faithless before, but thanks to RP for another introduction to a great, under-the-radar (at least to me) band.

I wouldn't call this "pseudo Rap". This – rather unique – style of delivering vocals has been very consistent over Maxi's career and become a trademark. I have to admit though that his performance on this track is not among his best.

You should really watch a recording of Faithless performing live – there's absolutely nothing "pseudo" about Maxi Jazz. In fact, he is so energetic or thoughtful that I still consider the Faithless concert I attended to be among my personal top ten concerts.

Is that the original Saint Paul's Cathedral in the cover shot?

 
The album cover features the 1880 oil painting, "Nightfall on the Thames", by John Atkinson Grimshaw.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Atkinson_Grimshaw

King & McGaw (and everyone else) call it "Nightfall Down The Thames" for some reason.

Either way, it's beautiful work, to my eyes.  Almost photographic style.

Sounds like a mix of Alpinestars and Syntax. Nice.

If you can't tell the difference between this and JockJams, then I'm afraid the answer to your question will also escape you.

Do the ratings we put on here really matter. . . I mean if a song is rated constantly low does it get pulled, I don't think so, I think it more for our amusement
If it gets all 1's and really negative comments and everybody hates it then it will be pulled. If Bill wants to. (it's good to be King)

He's known as Maxi Jazz, almost certainly on another Faithless track. Very likely "Insomnia" which kicked off the usage of the pizzicato sound in a lot of other dance tracks in the mid 90s. ("I can't get no sleep...")
God, that was a good tune. This band is just sensational live. Don't miss the chance if they're ever playing near you.

I'm sure we're doin' a 'run' of LRC upload 'adds' which I'm delighted to see! Gives us hope for the 'big day' when it's 'OURS', or even MINE! Love this song too by the way got my vote on LRC straight away!

Maxi Jazz. Bill's played "Mass Destruction" by these guys before - that's where you've probably heard him.
