Love has been the cause
Of all this suffering
And what has been our loss
Has been it's gaining
So lay your burdens down
And stop your crying
Will we let it burn
Burn us down, burn us
Low have been the odds
Of our reuniting
And where now can we turn
When we've got nothing
Will we let it burn
Burn us down, burn us
And maybe it'll turn
Us around

Being down and out and all. Just knowing other humanoids feel pain is comforting. Yes, I have been in pain. Often. So? |

| Proclivities (Carrboro, NC) | Posted: Oct 15, 2011 - 21:49 I've found a greater appreciation for this tune after reading how much it seems to trouble some of the people who post negative comments about it. There's something to be said for that in a song. |
| Jazbo (Beautiful Valparaiso IN.) | Posted: Sep 14, 2011 - 08:27 Channeling Peter Green......... |
| robh (up t'north UK) | Posted: May 19, 2011 - 13:05 Now, I like this! |

Please play more of their stuff ("Red Chord" or "What Happens When the Heart Just Stops" or something from "Burn the Maps") They're awesome! Agreed! This isn't my favorite Frames tune, but I still love the lyrics in particular. |
| Papernapkin (Mountain View, CA) | Posted: May 11, 2011 - 07:38 The suicide set. |
| scrubbrush (Sea of Calm) | Posted: Mar 17, 2011 - 12:32 I'm hearing hints of Presence-era Zeppelin. |
| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Jan 26, 2011 - 08:30 JUST WONDERFUL! I was certain to hear the BLACK KEYS, when hearing the great tune for the first time! |
| ziakut (A place with air, water and chocolate.) | Posted: Jan 24, 2011 - 18:03 From a "5" to a "7"...more listens are helpful. I like the overall feel and atmosphere this tune generates. |
| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Jan 05, 2011 - 14:17 Wonderful! |
| On_The_Beach (Vancouver BC, Bud) | Posted: Jan 05, 2011 - 14:15 Nice segue from the previous (Sixteen Horsepower) tune. |
| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Dec 24, 2010 - 09:24 GREAT! |
| Lumpy13 | Posted: Dec 24, 2010 - 09:23 Sounds like the snare drum head has a crack in it. Need to get that replaced, dude. |
| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Nov 08, 2010 - 11:01 Grunge guitar......very good moody sounds throughout..I'm often just leaving myself notes when I comment only later to return and buy various tracks.  |

You say that like it's a bad thing. It hurts so good! |
| ziakut (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Sep 20, 2010 - 07:28 I like the instrumental section chords. Kind of ominous. The rest is draggy. Growing on me though... |
| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Sep 16, 2010 - 17:40 BLACK KEY KNOCK-OFF? VICE VERSA? But that's unfair to ask, since it sounds definitely GREAT! |

It alludes to the creative process. They're also good for phone numbers of pretty girls when you're out having a drink. So, no, you'd have to be atypical to get it. As for the song, it's a dirge. It sucks the life out of the party. Cheers. Michael www.papernapkin.com  Makes sense. Reminds me of how useful towels are (Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy). No, you'd not play this at a party, unless it were an emo party, but it is a very moving 'dirge' and gives me goose pimples. Best not to listen to it when you're really down, mind. 8 from the Nottingham jury. |
