Lost in cheap delirium
Searching the neon lights
I move carefully
Sink in the city aquarium
Sing in the key of night
As they're watching me

Take me somewhere we can be alone
Make me somewhere I can call a home
'Cause lately I've been losing on my own

Wrapped in silent elegance
Beautifully broken down
As illusions burst
Too late to learn from experience
Too late to wonder how
To finish first

Take me somewhere we can be alone
Make me somewhere I can call a home
'Cause lately I've been losing on my own

Take me somewhere we can be alone
Make me somewhere I can call a home
Won't you take me home?

Won't you take me home?

Lately I've been losing on my own
Won't you take me home?

This song still stops me in my tracks.

solid 8 at first listen. At first, on the periphery of my consciousness, I thought: wait, is this a Joni Mitchell song I’ve never heard?  Turned up the volume, and realized it wasn’t - but definitely has the vibe. Lovin’ it!

I second (and third) the request for more TINA DICO. She is amazing.

I think that this is actually classified as "downtempo" as opposed to "acid jazz." Not that it makes any difference to your appreciation...

This is why I absolutely don't listen to any AM/FM radio in the US. There's no way good music like this would ever get exposure these days. Even looking at YouTube's front page they're trying to do exactly the same thing and want to push garbage out to the masses. Maybe Sirius XM plays bands like Zero 7, but way back in the day (2009) I canceled them because the channels were playing the same crap all the time with no variety, exactly the same problem with FM.  80s channel?  Billy Jean and Take On Me every few hours.  Come on.  Thank god for the Internet and indy stations like RP.

Why....why oh why did you do this?!!? I totally agree....it was awesome to not just hear her live.... It was also like looking at cotton candy....soft and sweet....but, can't have!! By the wiki post, I don't see her as a band member but, sure hope the boys recruited her! WOWSERS!! Yum! And, btw....if one goes to utube music and search for tina dico, there are loads of her music! I need to come out from under my rock more often! Had never heard of this awesome talent until RP brought zero7 to us! Highly suggest search, if you really want to hear more of her beautiful voice! Not just a voice, to be sure! Thanks B & R!! Long live RP!!

This was in what is considered heavy rotation on RP (yes, I'm being relative) back in late 2005-early 2006, just when I needed it the most. It was lovely to hear it again tonight. Thanks, Bill. <3

Good gosh! Listening to her voice....goosebumps!!  Whole piece is really nice but, that voice!!! WOW!! I'd give many of my "9's" a 10 but, and I've emailed Bill about this, there is NOTHING, even remotely"God like" on this planet. Many excellent artists out there, that we listeners have the distinct pleasure of getting to experience, only thru RP. Long live RP!! 
Thnx Bill & Co.!! 😁

Someone brought it up earlier but I believe it's Tina Dico singing on this number.

I saw Zero 7 twice in those days and have followed Tina's career with interest seeing her also three times in the UK.  Lots of videos on YouTube.  She just gets better and better.

Such a shame Zero 7 changed their music so much.  In those days with the four different singers they really were exceptional.

Joni Mitchell wrote the song (i.e. "Woodstock"), so her version is not a cover.
Posted 11 years ago by JHZ    [ Reply ]
I just learned that the trumpet on this song is played by (and the brass arranged by) none other than Gerard Presencer.  
For most people I know, he'd be most easily remembered as the one who played the amazing trumpet solo (at age 18!) on US3's Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) -- although he's done much, much more than that :)

There are some parts which have that "English folk" sound, which Renaissance often did, and some of the high notes of the melody do remind me of Annie Haslam's style but the overall tempo seems very different form their stuff.  Nice tune.

No, I can see where you are getting that.  Those movies had a certain dramatic use of heavy brass horns and a frequently chaotic drumming underneath it.  

I loved those movies growing up.  I watched one of them recently and was blown away.  Movies like that don't get made anymore.  It isn't so much that it was a fantastic movie (it wasn't) or the great acting (it's was really kinda mediocre), but the atmosphere and pacing of the movie built the suspense in ways that modern movies would never try to do.  It would be too slow paced for today's audience.  

In some ways, this music is the same way.  If Zero 7 was a new act and put out music like this, they would have been regulated to a small niche.  

In may ways, I feel bad for the text message, gotta-have-the-payoff-now generation.   Of course, I'm on the earliest edge of that generation at 33.

This is the song that made it clear to me that Zero 7 was one of the bands I will be listening to for a long, long time.
For the rest of my post... Zero 7 geek alert...

When the sophomore album has tracks like this... slightly more mature than the first but still true to what was great on that first album.  On the first album they would have let Sia blow it out during the crescendo.  I love Tina but the wall of electronics along with the organic acoustic stuff during the crescendo is perfect.  Nobody's been able to match Zero 7's ability to make all those knobs and dials sound so organic.
