Upped rating. This seems to get cooler and cooler with each listen.

I totally hear the Annie Haslam vibe.  She's one of my favorites...

Isn't that why DJ's play long songs?{#Mrgreen}


 
{#Lol} That and smoke-breaks. And quickies. {#Taped-shut} (My best friend is a radio music programmer, and he confessed to two of the three - his favorite songs were "Stairway to Heaven" and "Home By The Sea." )  He said "In A Gadda Da Vida" was too obvious and too long.

I enjoy hearing contemporary lyrics that could have been written in the seventeenth century.

Awesome... lots of crybabies. " Interminable", "ugh", "pretentious", "can't stand the singer", wah, wah, wah!

Thanks for this great song RP. Some of us have attention spans larger than a gnat.  Thanks for the positive comments too.

Thought this song was a bit pretentious the first time I heard it. Like it much more now with repeated listens.

Good tune.  Sort of sucked me in and then it changes in the middle and goes a different direction.

I'm happier than I expect each time this comes on. I missed thoughtful music but stuff like this and St. Vincent are making me a little more hopeful.

I got this CD after hearing it on RP.  It's a great song, and the CD gets wierder and wierder as it goes along. Cool.

My first impression was that this was some very early, just uncovered Jefferson Airplane.  

Sandy Denny would like this.
