I wouldn't imagine that you have a lot of opportunity to listen to drunks in SLC... maybe you should just enjoy it.

First time I've heard this one--quite beautiful and melancholy. Not every song needs to "kick in". I love this kind of lazy sound. I sometimes wonder why this song comment thing is even here tho. Who cares what other people think?
that's a good question.. it is interesting to read what people think. but it's almost like the rubber-necking thing that kicks in when people (not me of course) pass by car accidents. you just want to see what's going on, maybe catch some gore and carnage. (why do people do that BTW??) i find these posts most interesting when two people start going at it. it's amusing that folks can even get worked up.. over music and opinions! haha.

Oozing with self-importance.

Not sure about this one. I think it depends on my mood. I'll give it a 5.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

There is quite a horde of malcontents on RP, isn't there?

Some artists have a nice dreamy effect with their music and then, well there are artists like Michael Miller as well.

Better how? Lyric? Backing musicians? Energy level? Just don't get the reference. Help me out - how does this cut make it into the same sentence with Lucinda Williams? I'm always open to learn.

Hey, does anyone else notice how the middle of the song turns into "and it was all YELLOW" ?

Is that a flavour of "it's so bad, it's good"?

I agree with rockasaurus and the other allied detractors, except the instrumentation is nice. The "singing" voice is not just androgynous, it is tuneless and often cracking. The allusion to Quaaludes seems on target. He sounds like someone singing himself to sleep, someone who is not a professional singer. Maybe, though, I just hate relaxation and it's my fault . . . Will listen to other songs on RP to figure that out!

He (she? ;) ) mentions Tarifa. That's a great little town in southern Spain, almost touching Africa it's so close. Is that his Gracetown?

Quaaludes and singing don't mix. Ugh.

Maybe it would help if you could picture this song playing on earphones while you're walking down an empty London street at dusk. Seems about right to me .
i'm having a hard time picturing anything but a couple of studio techs having to hold his head up to keep it from nodding while he sleep-talks into the microphone.

Great songs, but I think Bill's trying to put us to sleep this afternoon =(.

Sounded pretty nice when I first heard it but wore thin soon. Now, it\'s gratingly monotonous. :(

Just when you think that you can\'t stand the monotonous droning of the vocals for a second longer, along comes...a monotonous droning guitar.

Chick.

is this a dude or a chick?
Posted 21 years ago by B-dub    [ Reply ]
I don\'t know, there is something raw and ethereal about this song, it always catches me. Depressing in a way, but more stoic than self-trodden. Just my thoughts, I\'ll go now. (pimp)

Yawwwwwwwwwn. I, too, was waiting for something to actually happen in this song. Alas, I couldn\'t stay awake at my desk long enough to find out what happened.

I agree totally. This is the kind of stuff that gets too much airplay on this station. Puts me to sleep. :oops:

I am really unsure about this one... waiting .. waiting .. for something to kick in... and waiting... does this song ever pickup... the country like twang... waiting..oh a chorus finally... nice instrumentals there... ahhh the sound effect morph... thats better... the twang... I gave it a three... Maybe a 5 now... nice transition... bad producer... nice try...
Posted 21 years ago by plundis    [ Reply ]
I don\'t even like the *real* Lucinda Williams that much... so I think I\'ll stay away from imitations like this one. :oops:
