Blue, blue is as evening out on my own in Copenhagen.
True, it's true that I used to want to be alone in Copenhagen.
Time, time is a guarantee that all will change.
Now it feels strange.
Truth, the truth is there's no one else here to blame in all of Copenhagen.
I used to be able to do everything myself.
But now I think I need a little help.
Time, time is a guarantee that all will end.
So maybe each time I begin to look.
I look to be safe and small in your arms in all of Copenhagen.
I used to be able to do everything myself.
But now I think I need a little help.
I used to be able to do everything myself.
But now I think I need a little help.
I used to do everything I wanted on my own.
But now I don't want to be alone.
No,no,no,no,no..
I don't want to be alone
No,no,no..
I want to be alone

| Pedro1874 (Bolton, England) | Posted: May 11, 2012 - 13:45 Never get tired of hearing this great Danish singer/songwriter. Check her out on the early Zero7 albums and her top solo albums "In the Red" and "Count to ten" - do you play any tracks from these albums Bill? |

And the message. Glad I was able to hear this one. Sorry there are so many negative comments about it. Sometimes, people, you just can't have absolute perfection, and you have to settle for relative perfection, absolutely.  As it happens, I'm not a big fan of the Indian mouth music thing, which presumably is the segue link from Siouxsie and the Banshees, but at least it's not overdone here and is background rather than foreground. Her voice is smooth as velvet and just as soft. I may not experience euphoria listening to this, but as romeotuma so often writes, it is good for the lugholes. 7 from the Nottingham jury. |
| Fredrikson (Stockholm) | Posted: Apr 28, 2011 - 07:10 Hasn't this been played several times a week for 5 years now? It isn't even that good to begin with! |

Also, I'm sure Bill will read your comment and just jump at the chance to do what you want, in spite of what a whole bunch of other RP listeners want. Geez.)

| agkagk (Aurora, Ontario, Canada) | Posted: Jan 19, 2011 - 18:39 Amazing how much this sounds like Animal Logic. It's really just the vocals and their production (echo etc). The rest of the album sounds nothing like Animal Logic. Great album, combining slide guitar and synthesizers. |

You might be thinking of a fake scandanavian-sounding ice cream. Well, right. I've certainly heard it pronounced "haygun" and "hawgun", and that's fine for English, and that's the language she's singing in. I looked it up and in Danish its quite different: more like "coo ben hown". So I suppose it doesn't bother her much to sing beautifully and make a bunch of money. Mmmm, ice cream.  |
| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: May 17, 2010 - 09:59 The song: good and true. Just checked in to read the predictably clueless sexist shite in response to this song. Thanks for playing music by woman and a woman's perspective and showing how badly it's needed. A 9 for all the assholic comments. |

| xkolibuul (Chuckanut sandstone) | Posted: Apr 30, 2009 - 23:28 As good as pop gets. Perhaps because most of the rest of this album is well beyond pop. |

| CamLwalk (Albany NY) | Posted: Feb 15, 2009 - 10:07 This is a nice song. The production is a little too busy...too much going on. I'd like it more if it were a simpler arrangement. |
| greyfin10 (Panama City, FL) | Posted: Jan 26, 2009 - 08:07 Yah, I think I'm conditioned to her voice, a la Pavlov's dogs. I was immediately thinking... Tina... is that you? Um, that analogy perhaps gives too much away... :) squidish wrote: Tina Dico rocks! |

| michaelgmitchell (Belleville, ON Canada) | Posted: Jun 07, 2008 - 14:46 What a great set, the past 30 mins. or so. Thanks, Bill. This is catchy, sexy. Just beyond "pop", or under "pop". RP'ers: life could be worse. We could be forced to listen Mariah or Celine. |

I am chuckling even now as I type this as I can remember all 30 of us laughing and screaming so hard on his realization that he was actually talking about a boy. Mind you now that I have thoughts of Tina Dico... I dont want to be thinking of Home Alone at the same time. Way to go for messing with my head HAHAHAHAHAHaHAHaHAHAHAhahAhahAhAhahahAHAhaHAHA. tears. |

Sure, they just made one record, didn't they? "There's A Spy (In The House Of Love)" was the hit single. ANYWAY Euphoria is good EITHER!  |
