Radio Paradise (mobile)

There's a wind inside my soul,
Burnin' secrets in the cold.
My spirit rages.
And the faces in my field,
Only flesh made out of him.
My body ages.
Houses made of stone and ice.
Chimneys smokey paradise.
If you gotta leave, you gotta leave alone.
Oh Lord, there's a full moon, oh Lord, in my eyes.
There's a full moon; insane vision in disguise.
There's a full moon.
Oh Lord, there's a full moon out tonight.
Old men close their eyes and weep.
Young men pray that they're asleep,
Inside the madness.
Young girls dance between the sparks,
And old women die in parks,
From too much sadness.
And we dig a million holes.
And were goin' down for gold.
If you gotta leave, you gotta leave alone.
Oh Lord, there's a full moon, oh Lord, in my eyes.
There's a full moon; insane vision in disguise.
There's a full moon.
Oh Lord, there's a full moon out tonight.

FlatCat Jan 20, 2007 - 08:55	Awful. Awful. [ Reply ]
Land_Shark Nov 08, 2006 - 12:09	Clearly not even close to some of Hiatt's best. It wouldn't kill me not to hear this one again on RP. [ Reply ]
rtkmusic Nov 08, 2006 - 12:09	I'm a big Hiatt fan, but the production on this early stuff is suspect...the product of cheezy A&R types trying to squeeze a round artist into a square hole... [ Reply ]

kazuma Oct 24, 2006 - 21:03	wow. this is awful! the comments about his voice (sounds like a muppet, etc.) are great, though. [ Reply ]
MJB Oct 24, 2006 - 21:02	Ack....don't get it. [ Reply ]
Geecheeboy Sep 10, 2006 - 22:13	Of all the wonderful songs JH has produced, why play this ho-hum selection? I might add that his voice is naturally strange anyway, but really weird in this one, even for me. [ Reply ]
savoyard Jul 14, 2006 - 08:57	This neverending Butt Rock solo is making my ears bleed. Make it Stop!! [ Reply ]

It is roughly produced, etc., etc. But for some reason, I still like it (a little bit). I don't think I would if I heard it too much though. This one goes way back!! Agree on the production. Very sloppy. Maybe thats it charm!!! [ Reply ]

I've always liked John, but hadn't heard anything older than Bring the Family. Heh. Sorry to follow my own quote, but this time it reminded me of "All Along the Watchtower", which Dave Mason played on too. Did a good version on his own as well. [ Reply ]

byrd Nov 22, 2005 - 09:44	I'm usually a fan of John Hiatt, but this tune just isn't doin' it for me. It is, however, quite interesting to hear some of his earlier work. I've never heard anything of Hiatt's that is this old. Thanks, RP, for not just sticking to the newer tunes. [ Reply ]
