I remember when the original of this came out back in the early 80s, when yer woman was a teenager and in the band Monsoon, and it absolutely took the charts by storm - there was nothing like it in pop at that time, and indeed it would still be very different now, other than in places with large populations of East Asian descent (such as Bradford where I used to happily live) where such sounds are everywhere. This is a very fine update to the original, and gives me the willies (in a good way). 8 from the nostalgic goose-pimpled Nottingham jury. |

OK Next song please! Not sure what's up but this song really bugs me. No need to play it again.

Queue wrote:"Your Ocean Refuses No River"... Reminds me a bit (lyrically) of Pete Townshend's "The Sea Refuses No River" Perhaps they are both drawing lyrical ideas from the same source? Oceans are just big collections of many rivers. |

I guess you either like this sort of thing or you rate it a 2/10, as I have done.

Sheila sang a much livelier version of this song with Monsoon many years ago—you'll be pleased with it I think. iTunes has the original version, a Hindi version and a remix. |

Transporting. Wonderful to hear things on RP that otherwise only come across in my own collection. Thanks Bill!

Reminds me lyrically of the Pete Townshend song "The sea refuses no river". This is a universal concept.
I like the song, but kind of one dimensional for me.

No, but it's a nice idea. Just thinking about Within you Without you when this spun up, stylistic synchronicity.
