Radio Paradise (mobile)

I remember how the darkness doubled
I recall lightning struck itself
I was listening, listening to the rain
I was hearing, hearing something else
Life in the hive puckered up my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand 'neath the marquee moon
Just waiting
I spoke to a man down at the tracks
And I asked him how he don't go mad
He said ''"Look here junior, don't you be so happy.
And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad."''
Life in the hive puckered up my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand 'neath the marquee moon
Hesitating
Well a Cadillac, it pulled out of the graveyard
Pulled up to me, all they said get in
Then the Cadillac, it puttered back into the graveyard
Me, I got out again
Life in the hive puckered up my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand 'neath the marquee moon
I ain't waiting, uh uh
I remember how the darkness doubled
I recall lightning struck itself
I was listening, listening to the rain
I was hearing, hearing something else

Well, it starts out with a repetitive thing (& that voice) that may not garner fans (although I like that catchy twangy guitar hook) ....but near the end more is revealed musically. It still surprises me how sophisticated the last 1/5th of the song is. Maybe the 6.5ers just didn't hang in there? [ Reply ]
Giselle62 Jul 28, 2010 - 19:21	this album's so great—-"See No Evil" "Venus" and "Elevation" are even better than this, in my opinion. [ Reply ]

FlatCat Apr 24, 2010 - 09:07	Gawd, this is awful. Tuneless wanderings on the guitar at the end. Nothing more than scale exercises for 10-year-olds. And the singing couldn't be more grating. [ Reply ]
Giselle62 Mar 23, 2010 - 18:12	Right towards the end before it all falls apart into guitar sparkles.... [ Reply ]
Giselle62 Mar 23, 2010 - 18:09	i love all entertwining guitar bands—-i can see how this could get long for some people, tho, it does for me, at times. [ Reply ]
geordiezimmerman Feb 20, 2010 - 04:20	I think there's something wrong with people who don't like this. So ahead of it's time it's unreal. Not sure if anyone makes music like this anymore, shame. [ Reply ]

toterola Jan 19, 2010 - 18:27	I heard Chuck Prophet (local guitar hero here in the Bay Area) reference this album from the stage back in October. It really increased my respect for him. To the folks talking about Patti Smith: the latest Rolling Stone has a killer article about her and Robert Mapplethorpe (who took the cover photo for this album, BTW). I loved these guys, back in the day. They had so much soul and character. It seems like yesterday. Oh well! [ Reply ]
WonderLizard Jan 19, 2010 - 18:24	I like that Verlaine and Lloyd simply didn't give a shit about how long it took 'em to get everything they had to say on the table. Great stuff. [ Reply ]
Giselle62 Jan 19, 2010 - 18:23	i was hoping this would come next ater hearing patti last night... [ Reply ]
lmic Jan 19, 2010 - 18:19	Ah, that explains Bill's playing the bit-o-fluff "Wildcat" - it makes a nice lead-in to this classic. [ Reply ]
