So am I
Good or bad
The way that things did turn out
I did only make you sad
And we cried and we cried
On the phone
Oh but in my mind
You were never that all alone
Oh you were majesty
Your roads were heavy
And your longing was cut from bone
So am I
Am I good or bad
Could only awake your anger
I could only make you mad
Now was that how you showed me
That you were still so young and bold
Anyway those fights did drive me
And I was dying of thirst and I wasn't growin' old
Oh you were majesty
Your ropes were heavy
And your roads were very cold
Oh, oh, oh majesty
But in my mind
I could still climb inside your bed
And I could be victorious
Still the only man to pass to the glorious arch of your head, o-oh
Oh you were majesty
Your ropes were heavy
And your cheeks were very red
Oh you were majesty
And it's like I said
That spirit, is now dead
Oh, oh, oh Majesty

| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: May 14, 2013 - 23:45 Best of Madrugada! |
| tutakea | Posted: May 08, 2013 - 04:41 pretentious & overblown |
| palatin8 (K´town, Germany) | Posted: May 04, 2013 - 15:06 Not one of their best. Still good enough. |
| baneale (Scotland, UK) | Posted: May 04, 2013 - 15:01 An old favourite. Still excellent, though. |
| richlister (Here, there, pretty much everywhere.) | Posted: Apr 24, 2013 - 06:14 Wow! Really, really... errrrr, annoying. Even more so live. |

| nevar23 (Georgia) | Posted: Apr 13, 2013 - 17:18 Nifty. Thanks for pointing that out. I admit that I thought the lyric was "your robes were heavy..." as in royal robes, as in it was hard to put up with your ego but lawd I tried.  unclehud wrote: Hey! I just noticed the "Lyrics" link (I'll assume it's a new feature, and not admit I could've failed to notice it) and now this tune has moved from good to very good. Ahem, I mean "Most Excellent." |

| jeff58 | Posted: Mar 17, 2013 - 15:54 Amazing how some songs and performances just have "it" from the start. Hooked within seconds and then simply drawn in... Superb. |

| eve_silver (Southwest Germany) | Posted: Mar 06, 2013 - 13:11 Same here, jumped from 9 to 10. This song really deserves the title "godlike"  |
| spiggy | Posted: Mar 05, 2013 - 06:45 Just pumped from 9 to 10 too... ...same thoughts echo Beinte wrote: From 9 to 10. Majestic song, ditto performance. Both kept growing on me, with me, over the years. Till they reached the decimal ceiling, today.  |
| Easyrider | Posted: Mar 03, 2013 - 00:18 Absolutely awesome |
| gigikent | Posted: Feb 20, 2013 - 08:36 Flawless! |
| thorens (Zagreb) | Posted: Feb 14, 2013 - 06:59  Love it! |
| Jockster (England,UK) | Posted: Feb 14, 2013 - 06:53 Glorious. |
| nicolewe | Posted: Feb 09, 2013 - 21:48 Yeah, think I'll purchase that one. 8 to 9. |
| buddy | Posted: Feb 09, 2013 - 21:46 This song used to make me cry. But I'm further down the road and healed now, and can relate to the story without it taking me back to the bad times and all the trauma. Thank God. |
| shellbella (so california) | Posted: Jan 30, 2013 - 16:27 I just love this song..... Thank you RP!! |
| spiggy | Posted: Jan 13, 2013 - 23:10 I know nothing of this band, but this is one amazing song. Love it! |
| borderlessworld (Good Old Germany) | Posted: Dec 30, 2012 - 08:20 This is outstanding in so many ways. Few lyrics capture one of my life's best and worst moment better. (I will never forget you.) |
| rascal (Toronto) | Posted: Dec 19, 2012 - 16:05 agreed, heard this on FIP (Paris Radio) a few years ago, did not know who it was til hearing it here...marvelous |

Maybe I approach it differently each time, changing my perception of it, or maybe it just has a way of becoming something else whenever I hear it. Whatever the case, this will never be boring for me, because I enter into the listening with different eyes and ears each time. I know - I'm not making any sense. But this is how I feel. I am shutting up now.  Just keeping your wonderful posts on the front page. RIP Ann |

By the way, is this an ode to co-dependency, or am I getting this all wrong ? This song is about the best lover you ever had, you remember, don't you ? A sort of co-dependency, kinda in a way. |

Although this is better than the solo stuff that has been overplayed earlier this year. But yes I agree, enough already. |
| Nadita (Zürich, Switzerland) | Posted: Sep 05, 2012 - 01:18 God... Madrugada. Seen 5 times life. And where ist the 10 + 10 Rating Button. Majesty!!! :-)  |
