Radio Paradise (mobile)

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, Light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Maybe something to the companion lyric: " Even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear. " I'll presume the singer and you (and Traffic) have different interpretations of the phrase. (If I missed the sarcasm in your post, please forgive. Sarcasm and cynicism don't always come through clearly in written form) [ Reply ]

Your 9/8 fix? Oh my - aren't you special. It was starting to stink in here - hope you're still off keeping company with other musical snobs. [ Reply ]

medoras Sep 28, 2012 - 10:16	I hate to admit it but I kind of like Leona Lewis' cover of this track better than the original SP version. [ Reply ]

WonderLizard Jul 27, 2012 - 11:55	ncarus wrote: OK - I don't own any SP material - and nor do I want to based on the air-play I hear across the board. As commented previously, each track is built on tedious 4/4 repetitions, with boring guitar rhythms, and equally tedious, monotonous vocals. Same to be said of Coldplay. Utter shite! Why they're as popular as they are, only speaks volumes for the simplistic and uneducated tastes of the popular masses. There. I've got it out of my system. And don't start me on Florence and her pathetic Machine please! I'm off to listen to The Enid for a 9/8 fix. I'm content to let the incisive, insightful commentary from this passionate young man speak for itself. OTOH, I repeat—I have never heard a bad song on Radio Paradise. [ Reply ]
