Radio Paradise (mobile)

Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say?
Look around you find the ground
Is not so far from where you are, but not too wise
For down below they never grow
They're always tired and charms are hired from out of their eyes
Never a surprise
Take your time and you'll be fine
And say a prayer for people there who live on the floor
And if you see what's meant to be, don't name the day or try to say
It happened before
Don't be shy, you learn to fly
And see the sun when day is done, if only you see
Just what you are, beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day in Autumn for free
Yes, be what you'll be
Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say?
Open up the broken cup
Let the goodly sin and sunshine in, yes, that's today
And open wide the hymns you hide
You find renown while people frown at things that you say
But say what you'll say
About the farmers and the fun
And the things behind the sun
And the people 'round your head
Who say everything's been said
And the movement in your brain
Sends you out into the rain

meadowwoods Apr 10, 2013 - 15:16	Nothing like a little Nick Drake on this cloudy, melancholy afternoon. I love Radio Paradise. Where else can I hear a set like this? Thank you. [ Reply ]
ziakut Mar 27, 2013 - 12:50	Pretty amazing that this production and song along with the vocals...sounds very relevant today. I could see this covered by Ray LaMontagne or any artist like this. [ Reply ]

vanmas May 31, 2012 - 01:11	I love Nick Drake. Not because he is dead... a very sad story. His music is special and so beautiful! It is sad he became more famous after his dead. But he will live on through his music. One of my favorite artists. And RP is the only station where we can hear him. I love RP too! [ Reply ]

alaken Mar 28, 2012 - 14:10	Longer I listen to Nick Drake the more I'm entranced, mesmerized, impressed. Often imitated, never equalled. 9 -> 10 [ Reply ]
AndyJ Mar 28, 2012 - 14:07	Nice flow this afternoon... even if just a tad dark... if it was 12 hours hence, I might open a vein... [ Reply ]

If you like the music, you'll enjoy the book. [ Reply ]

Well, okay - I can't compare one Nick Drake song to another, because they all seem to hit the same vein in my soul. It's like his music just knows where to go in me, for whatever I need at the time, and it heals me. It's scary, but it's a talent, and not too many artists have it. I miss you, Nick Drake. I have some hurtful places your music never got a chance to touch... This is a family show. [ Reply ]

Art is a form of expression and doesn't have to be loved by all. CREATE TO CREATE! In the end someone, somewhere probably will be wowed by that which may of been easily pasted by another. Actually I will take it a step further, if it is loved by a lot it probably sucks! If it is loved by a discerning few, it is probably good. This song is wonderful BTW. 9 [ Reply ]
