Radio Paradise (mobile)

Now when this is over
Over and through
And all them changes have come and passed
I want to meet you in the big sky country
I just want to prove, mama, love can last, yeah
Like hallelujah in the big sky country
Just like forever and ever is wide
Be getting over in the big sky country
Be kissing time, kissing time goodbye
And God knows it's all been done, let me tell you why
'Cause you held my number
You held my name
You held my body through the thick and thin
On a bed of roses in the big sky country
Spread out to love you, love you in your second skin
Like hallelujah in the big sky country
Just like forever and ever is wide
Be getting over in the big sky country
Be kissing time, kissing time goodbye
Hallelujah mama, razzle dazzle Problem prophet
Got lights on all over the place
Hallelujah, I mean glory hallelujah
If I only come around once and see your face
So just watch them lovers out on parade
Watch them lovers while they slip and slide
They gonna prove it doing the big sky country
Just going to prove it while the whole world collides, yeah
Like hallelujah in the big sky country
Just like forever and ever is wide
Be getting over in the big sky country
Be kissing time, be kissing time goodbye
Maybe I'll make up in the big sky country
Be just like lovers and love is why
When we hold over to the big sky country
We'll be kissing time
Kissing time goodbye

What a beautiful simile. And one that I agree with. Don't even know why I dislike this so much. Always have. Something about the coldness of the music. See you in a few minutes... [ Reply ]
bbryan Aug 19, 2010 - 12:40	Din of Ecstacy is an absolutely amazing album. Amazing guitar sound. But defintely challenging and a million light years from this tune. Dark, dark stuff - on Din he sounds like he either needs an exorcism or an intervention (and possibly both). He changed his approach to music like most people change shirts. I love all of it - a truly gifted, if somewhat tortured artist. smdeeg wrote: Chris Whitley was a very unusual musician, and this is probably his most commercial song. You've always shown a breadth of musical taste, and I would suggest giving him a second chance. I'm actually partial to an album of his called Din, which knocked my socks off, but is what you would call challenging listening. In any event, more here then you might think. [ Reply ]

This song, "Poison Girl", the title track, and a song that was featured in the movie "Thelma and Louise" called "Kick These Stones (Out of My Bed) are as good as anything played on here. Definitely worth the time. Yep. A sleeper album for me. Surprised with the reaction. Solid southern acoustic blues/rock. My $0.03. [ Reply ]

fredriley Aug 05, 2009 - 05:42	"Big Sky Country" is a term employed as spin by tourist associations for areas that are flat as pancakes, such as East Anglia in England. Sounds better than 'sh1t boring flatsville countryside', I guess ;) Sadly, to the Nottingham jury this is about as interesting as East Anglia. A solid 3 [ Reply ]

It played as the victim of a violent rape finally succumbed to her injuries and passed away. I thought it was a really good tune and still do. It does suffer from some poor production though. It has world class hooks but some really annoying repetitive chorus stuff. I think they were shooting for a more commercial sound and it didn't really work out. I bet CW and his resonator just by themselves would have rendered this tune beautifully. Listen to 'Hotel Vast Horizon' or 'Dirt Floor' if you want to hear some more representive CW stuff. His music had a lot of space in it. I did see Chris in a bar in my hometown. Just him and his guitar. Pretty good stuff! [ Reply ]
