Sometimes I get up feeling good but greed gets me down,
I try to think about the highs, the freedom we've found,
When the business in your life don't sit with your soul,
And they treat you like a child they need to control.

The music that we make will heal all our mistakes and lead us,
The music that we hear is always standing near to feed us.

We're all gonna rise above all things that we lack,
Good vibrations that we make will come bouncing back.

The music that we make will heal all our mistakes and lead us,
The music that we hear is always standing near to feed us.

The music that we make will heal all our mistakes and lead us,
The music that we hear is always standing near to feed us.

The music that we make will heal all our mistakes and lead us,
The music that we hear is always standing near to feed us.

As exquisite as can be, and super-sexy, to boot. The perfect song to enjoy Orange Herijuana, Blueberry Headband, and tasty Mountain Sun IPAs to! Cheers ~ !

Saw them play live in Bristol uni circa 95/96.   Fantastic sound and possibly defined trip-hop along with Tricky and Portishead..

There's a vague resemblance in bits of her vocal line, but I would hardly deem it "a rip-off".  It's a different chord progression and this song is in a minor key.  We all hear different things, though.

Still one of my faves.

One of their best, and always capable of lifting the mood UP...dig it:  The music that we hear here on RP!

True enough, but they're also explicitly political whereas Morcheeba's lyrics have rarely been contentious. I prefer Thievery Corporation for their eclecticism and agitprop, though Skye's voice is always smooth and pleasant to listen to.

I absolutely love Morcheeba!  
Some others you might dig are Massive Attack, Portishead, Bajka, Thievery Corporation.  

Some others that meet the "slick lounge-kool" but don't have the female vocals are Greyboy—Mastered the Art, The Jones Orchestra, Herbaliser (more on the Hip Hop side), Lobe, Pete Rock—Petestrumentals, Dzihan & Kamien, Omid, Groove Armada, Action Figure Party, Medeski, Martin & Wood.  These last ones I file under Hipstrumentazz.

No doubt some other listeners might disagree with such tangentialnesses, but I'm a lumper not a splitter and I dig what I dig!

A little spy-jazz, a little mid-century lounge swank; I love it.

Always like Morcheeba. This song has shades of Edwyn Collins, "A girl like you" – and that IS a good thing...

Morcheeba, awsome as always.

Agreed! Their first 3 albums are great!
Their new one sucks, and is a rip off; they do the same song like 3 different times!

I wish they hadn't replaced Skye. Antidote's good, but it takes some getting used to. And it's just not the same.

Is it? I've been listening for a while and hadn't heard Morcheeba before... Just checked the playlist to make sure, and don't see anything... Anyway, cool laid-back track. :goodvibes:

Great song! Their albums, however, don't always sound as good!

MMMMMorcheeba... mmm.... ;) I love how her voice perfectly compliments the music to make that Morcheeba sound. Although I prefer the original from their Who Can You Trust? album.

I think this version of this song is sooooo cool. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. The melody, the layers of sounds. Just great.
