No I think that Radio Paradise claims to be an Eclectic Station, but if you don’t care for this type of thing you may be happier listening to a Rock Station. |

I love this. smile down on us sun, show your rays when things come undone all animals lead, us to light when we can't see stars, saturn and moon, glow for those who cannot get through rain fall and voice sound for those of whom still are not found gentle moon, find them soon
gentle moon, find them black sky and black sea, lighten up
when we can't breathe
all dreams escape fire, over worlds
fly but won't tire
slow down on us wind, hold us still
when everything spins
all secrets and lies, let them out dreams escape fire, they won't tire
dreams escape fire, they won't tire gentle moon, find them soon
gentle moon, find them soon all calendars pass, days die off
and hope cannot last
but if love was like stone, then yours was mine
through to my bones
but how can we give back to those
with whom we can't live
when will the flame break
and spare the good people it takes souls escape fire, they rise higher
souls escape fire, they rise higher gentle moon, find us soon
gentle moon, find us soon |

Every music lover should own Ghosts of The Great Highway. Its a stone cold classic album.

Slow country. Very twangy.

Every time I hear this I like it. I finally went and looked at the lyrics ..... what majestic poetry. I think I'm going to Amazon now to buy this for my wife for Christmas.  |

I've gotta wait a few years. My daughter is still into Hannah Montana. It's OK! I used to like Judas Priest (yes there is a Sun Kil Moon reference in there). |

If this is new to you and you like it, you must check out the other work of Mark Kozelek. I've listened to his music (solo/Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon) for over ten years and I'm never disappointed.

It's made of members from 'Red House Painters'. That voice is hard to miss. I like it. |

Yes indeed! It has that "relaxed" quality behind it where the artist took their time in composing a piece that flows "with" you instead of "against" you.  |

Be leery of the Red House Painters though. I was so excited when I bought this CD I got some of his earlier work, and couldn't listen to the cd more than a couple times.
Go back and listen to RHP's a few more times. It took me a few listens, but now I love (most of) their stuff. But then again, I love Salvador Sanchez. |
