Radio Paradise (mobile)

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without fallin' to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
'Cause I heard it screamin' out your name, your name
When I lay with you
I could stay there, close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
'Cause I heard it screamin' out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
'Cause I heard it screamin' out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
Oh
Oh no, let it burn
Oh, let it burn
Let it burn

It was a surreal thing to watch. On the other hand, Adele is a bit too 'poppy' for my tastes with this and I can see this being never played again in a few short weeks. In the US we managed to set fire to a river. That's can do spirit! From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuyahoga_River "There have reportedly been at least thirteen fires on the Cuyahoga River, the first occurring in 1868. < 12 > The largest river fire in 1952 caused over $1 million in damage to boats and a riverfront office building. < 13 > Fires erupted on the river several more times before June 22, 1969, when a river fire captured the attention of Time magazine, which described the Cuyahoga as the river that "oozes rather than flows" and in which a person "does not drown but decays."

Setting fire to water is not as difficult as you would think. Just check out some of the videos of people lighting their tap water on fire after natural gas companies doing "fracking" in their areas. Great song though. Have two teenage daughters, so I get my fill of Adele, but I do think she is extremely talented. [ Reply ]

I know Adele set the pop music world on fire this year (along with the rain apparently) but this is the first time I've heard her. Girls got a set of pipes....thanks for playing this As the dad of a teen & tween, that's ALL they want to listen to, so I've been hearing her for a couple of years now. The younger one was brave and went with me to take the kitty to the vet for the last time. "Someone Like You" was playing...it really struck a chord with him that he will never forget [ Reply ]

It starts with an overwhelming sense that an oracle has shown you the light and the truth. It continues with repeated trips to the comment area where true believers congregate to share stories of their baptism. Soon you'll be making repeated offerings to you're new "family" until bills begin to pile up, and yet, you'll have no new music in your library to show for your conversion. Seriously though, RP is awesome and not in any way a real cult. And if it is, that's cool too. [ Reply ]

clwguy Jan 12, 2012 - 10:18	Very well said. There's a few who will give a thumbs down because the song or artist was commercially successful and/or because of high production values. Only male artists and indie artists can make "good" music. Utter nonsense. yclept wrote: You should wake up to something other than top 40 radio, then..may I suggest NPR? Keep in mind that a lot of the best music Bill plays for us was at one time top 40 fodder and has stood the test of time. Just because commercial radio beats you over the head with an artist doesn't mean they aren't good, or even great. [ Reply ]
