Something's causing fear to fly,
Rising like a dark knight
In silence
Traffic's slow with broken boats
Heading for the sky
And I'm an island

I watched you disappear into the clouds
Swept away into another town

The world carries on without you
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days

The sun is in the east,
Rising for the beasts

And the beauties
If only I could tear it down,
Plant it in the ground to warm your face

I built myself a castle on the beach
Watching as it slid into the sea

The world carries on without you
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days
Until the last of days

Through wars and harvest moons
I will wait for you.
The world carries on without you
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days
Until the last of days

Listened to it on a louder device... and the bass lines made me pass this great song from a 7 to a 8.

Met her once - she was beautiful and funny and very gracious.

I got no problem whatsoever with these vocals.  (This song is holding up surprisingly well a decade-plus after release).  



To me, her vocals works with the theme of the song, missing someone you loved who died.

Superb singer-songwriter. I'm too old a geezer to be gawking and talking about her looks, so I just sit back and enjoy the music.


I hope I never get too old to appreciate symmetry and harmony.  A beautiful voice.

I agree - alas the breathy vocalists have taken over from singers.  She's good when she opens her pipes and sings, but I wish the producers would withdraw the mic from the tonsils, cut the treble boost and let us hear the voice unencumbered by the in-breaths!

I thought that was "Baby Blue" by Badfinger.

Lovely singing, completely ruined by distortion added during mixing.

For anyone who was curious, Alison Sudol, the lead singer of A Fine Frenzy, played the telepathic sister in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

Nice enough. Her songs are engaging but wear thin after a few hearings, I've found. Looking at her seems to work longer.

Posted 16 years ago by calypsus_1    [ Reply ]
yes, it does remind of Tori Amos but the vocal squelch is softened; still quite melo-dramatic although I'm not really aware i get into a mood craving this style of music playing in my background...must be a British thing, from the Kate Bush school of thought?

Sounds nothing like those two. But Sarah McLachlan, now that's a different story. acampos wrote:

Saw/heard her in concert - lousy sound system, but she does have some talent - just not enough to make her especial. Also, really bad dye job.
Posted 16 years ago by Feghoot    [ Reply ]
I like this song very much as well as Alison Sudol's sense of style.
Posted 16 years ago by Inamorato    [ Reply ]
So very promising -- and she has a lovely voice and some songwriting savvy -- but the album has no staying power. After the initial pleasure, it grows ever more annoying.

I think it's worth buying. It's been in my player since I bought it a few weeks ago and I grow to like it a bit more after each listen.

If you enjoy this one and the other two songs on RP then you should certainly get the album, strong from beginning to end!
