Blown away, blown away and waiting
Blown away and waiting on a fair wind
Sweeping through my window
Will you move me like you did once more?
Blown away, I'm blown away
Feeling everything, with you
Blown away, blown away and waiting
Blown away and waiting on...
I'm blown away, yet you're always with me still
You can say what you will now, but it's wrong
Is the love I give just a trinket to you?
Kept with all your playthings, and dreams that were new
Somewhere in a dream life that never comes true
If we can't dream it up again then what do we do?

Thanks to my years of attending the Radio Paradise Academy of Musical Learning, I immediately recognized this voice as being Madrugada. Wrong! (but kind of right). Once again, I learned something new here.

Happy songs make you feel like shit. Don't believe me? Listen to Katrina and the Waves, "Walking on Sunshine" and examine how you feel at the song's conclusion.

Borrowing from another post, his voice is a definite 'panty burner.' The kind of voice that stops your date in their tracks and renders your remaining moves completely useless.

Great reply, Proc!  And I agree 100%.  In fact, living in the Seattle area most of my life, I remember hearing stats about our high suicide rate, which I then found out didn't peak in our grey, wet, cool fall (fall lasts from Sept thru April usually) but peaks when the sun comes out for a few months in May thru August.  And the reasoning is like you mention....when we're all sad and depressed by the grey weather there's a sort of solidarity amongst us PNW'ers.  It's when it's SUPER nice out and one STILL feels low and sad while everyone else is enjoying the sun that the most depressed of us say goodbye.  (and this happened to my step-brother....he took his life in late May of '97.

To balance all THAT sadness out with other stats....I've always heard how we in the PNW buy more sunglasses per capita than the rest of the USA.  The reasoning is that we only need them a few months of the year, lose them and oh shit here's the sun again and have to buy more.  Long Live RP!!

 
I've often wondered if the lurking impossible ideal of the American dream is a factor in American malaise. Regardless, I select specific songs for their mood (upper or downer) in order to get me through a series of emotions which, left unexpressed, might never fully resolve....

Accordions! It could be MUCH worse with ACCORDIONS! I liked it today though when the RP playback went wonky and it switched intermittently between Soosgfart Hooymdrogem here and Pink Floyd "The Wall" finally settling on PF. Made me smile! The Floyd was there for me when I needed them, as always. It makes me wonder "How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?"

Which "song" components are missing exactly?  It's got a melody, a chorus, and instrumentation, among other components.  There are many works which could be called "meanders" or "doodles", depending on who's listening - or not listening.

Bands/musicians who try to write popular music may accrue more fans along the way but there's still a lot to be said for the risk takers like Hoyem who lay it on the line.

There seems to be a few different currents running through the treads to Hoyem's music. On the one hand listeners are in love with his voice, others are unimpressed with the quality of the songwriting , and a third group (not altogether different than the previous group) thinks his music has run it's course on RP.

If indeed each of these camps is partially correct might it be possible to reduce his exposure by 1/3? I think that would be a fair and equitable solution.

You may well conclude that my distaste is a consequence of "passive listening". Not so, I'm afraid. I could likely sing you back most of the melody and a fair bit of the harmonies from memory. And I still find it boring.

Fanatique de Madrugada comme de Sivert, j'aime de moins en moins ce morceau qui sonne trop comme une simple démonstration de sa magnifique voix {#Sad}
 
C'est vrai!

I love his voice, regarding the comment preceding mine: RP can't play too much Madragada and Sivert for me.

Bill, obviously, you have a "man-crush" on Sivert!  The Madrugada live version of "Majesty" was really quite impressive and moving, for a while, till you played the hell out of it...  The last couple years, you've been playing anything and everything with his voice in it.  Problem is that he apparently doesn't know English very well and he can't write a decent song!  They all sound like some "wannabe" rock ballad from the '70's but without the lyrical message...  Just a bunch of nonsensical metaphors, loosely strung together, trying to make a rhyme here and there while he does his baratone warbling...  A great voice, but It just doesn't work like this...

Please, stop playing so much "Sivert" and/or Madrugada

I've been listening to your station for almost 10 years now and this is the most blatant sign of your "Father Knows Best" <tp

Great song.
The cadence of the song and the guitar in background reminds of Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).

I find this song beautiful and his voice is stunning... it puts me into some kind of dream-state.
