Three o'clock on a late Sunday morning
The candles have burned to their end
Found the pictures we've taken
And now I'm awaken and
Sleep's my invisible friend
So I'm staring the hands off my wall clock
Seems both of us just hang around
Got no one to warm me
And nothing to hold
My body needs what it don't have
Without him
I really don't mind
A little bit lonely
He'll make up in time
As long as he loves me
He'll answer his crime
The door stays wide open
I know that he's mine
The tracks of my tears keep on freezin'
I'm melting the cold in the halls
I feel like I'm drownin'
There's no one around
And now I'm just climbing the walls
Perhaps if I played the seductress
A passionate woman of guile
He'd be there in a minute
The heat won't diminish
He'd wear nothing more than a smile
Without him
I really don't mind
A little bit lonely
He'll make up in time
As long as he loves me
He'll answer his crime
The door stays wide open
I know that he's mine
Charlie keep singin' that chanson
Your words always make so much sense
And though they're in French
I've got no defense
I know that I'm reaching the end
So, rumors, keep flying around me
It's you I refuse to believe
He's right 'round the corner
He knows that I'm home now
And nobody calls me naive
Without him
I really don't mind
A little bit lonely
He'll make up in time
As long as he loves me
He'll answer his crime
The door stays wide open
I know that he's mine
The candles have burned to their end
Found the pictures we've taken
And now I'm awaken and
Sleep's my invisible friend
So I'm staring the hands off my wall clock
Seems both of us just hang around
Got no one to warm me
And nothing to hold

Love me some Caro Emerald! Thanks RP for turning me onto this gem of a singer! Such a unique voice and love her style. 
I had never heard of her before RP. Now, I love everything she does!! Thanx RP! PS: the only thing missing is Stan Getz on saxophone!
Her voice reminds me of Lily Allen (or Lily Allen reminds me of Caro Emerald?) Either way, I like the vibe.
Quality music form a tiny country, but crowdy.
Pretty great album title. Oh also, I like the song.

I keep being so proud of introducing RP to Caro Emerald. Thanks for embracing this fantastic Dutch artist, Bill and Rebecca!

rgabriel, for the most part Bill & Rebecca don't decide which songs are added to the RP library. Registered users upload songs, and then go into the Listener Review Channel playlist and listeners of that separate stream vote thumbs up or down. Enough thumbs up and the songs get added, not enough and they don't.

IMHO the best song of Caro Emerald is "Tangled Up" - and I really don't understand why exactly that one has been dismissed by Bill...

I am glad you wrote that, but it does go to show, some pedagogue will beat it over the head of a truly talented artist, and we'll almost surely lose out....

I love vuluptous women with great legs...oh, and a great voice!
I also love this artist, she's got a fantastic voice. This song doesn't show off her talents nearly as well as her other material.
Puh-leez.
You've been bringing me down all morning. This is the icing on the stale cake.

I like plump women, especially those oooze sensuality :).
Is this a record?

For a second there I was excited that RP was playing a real record, but those aren't real record scratches; those are Sears record scratches.

I always get such a kick out of the way this gal sings...

I'm not sure if there is an actual term for that technique. Many artists have used it, though - so it seems like it should have a name. Paul McCartney employed it several times - with and without The Beatles.

The first step toward a rule is a term to identify the phenomenon. Let's not go there.
That's a good point.

I think Caravan Palace has a very similar style. Usually a bit more uptempo than this track, but I love their Djangly guitar!
Can more knowledgeable listeners recommend more artists like Caro? Please?

I love this. Great sound. We've got such a wealth and variety of musical expression, tradition, and history today that it is surprising we don't hear more artists mixing styles across culture and era like this.

The closest I can quickly think of, of contemporary artists, are Koop.
At least their album "Koop Islands" is not very far from this Cutting Room Floor, I mean, from the Emerald Isle.
It has a 1940's big band "swing" atmosphere with female solo singers, on modern instruments and DJ-magic.
It's good!
Ah, now playing: Mocean Worker -Shooby Shooby Do Yah!
I will look Koop up. Thanks

Technical question: Is there a recording term for running vocals through ... whatever it is ... that makes the voice sound like I'm hearing it on a 3-inch speaker in a transistor AM radio?
The song is fine; my brain often runs around loose in left field.

Another album I think I'll have to chase up. Thanks Bill.
Sounds like it was recorded with two tin cans connected by string...at a barbecue.

Nah, Weird Al Yankovic probably did one years ago. This doesn't really sound like a rap tune though: it's more like a cabaret tune with slight reggae overtones.

The vocals were probably recorded normally, but then run through a bandpass filter to mimic a 1W speaker on a transistor radio. Likewise the vinyl static crackling was probably added during production.

Am I in Paris in the 1920's or just sitting on my butt in a crappy trailer in Cairo, Ilinois...? Oh, yeah- Illinois.

Interesting music but not what I enjoy.
Yet another great RP find!
That is why we come here. Now, I have FIVE of her tunes on "My Favorites List"! Thanx RP!
