There's no use to complain
Or start it off again
There's no sign of weakness in me
Do I compel you like you compel me?
And nothing stays the same
And no one said it would
I would not think of such things if I could...
If I could help myself,
If I could
So put your warm little hands where I can see them
Put those hands on my face
Tell me you love me
And no one else
Or close those little hands
Now they're fists
Now they're little fists
Punch a hole in me with those fists
If you ever wanted to punch a hole in me
And find out what's in me
There's really nothing in me
And nothing stays the same
And nothing ever happens to you that will happen to you again
Or is this the way it was?
Was it this same room, this same fight, this same scene?
With us dancing on the kitchen floor
And the wind climbing in through the open window
I used to hear distant cracks out in the city night
I could swear some one was being shot down
Now we hear that all the time...
So do you like where we're headed?
Does it make sense in your eyes?
Do you miss me, baby, when I fall asleep?
Do you reach out for my arm?
Do you find it's too far away?
Do you?
Now tell me I'm handsome
I will tell you we are really not old at all
There's no use to complain
Still you and no one else
So put your warm little hands where I can see them
Put those hands on my face
Now if you get any out of this
Then that's the thing that makes me sleep all day
And I'll explain my love for you
On another day
Or start it off again
There's no sign of weakness in me
Do I compel you like you compel me?
And nothing stays the same
And no one said it would
I would not think of such things if I could...
If I could help myself,
If I could
So put your warm little hands where I can see them
Put those hands on my face
Tell me you love me
And no one else
Or close those little hands
Now they're fists
Now they're little fists
Punch a hole in me with those fists
If you ever wanted to punch a hole in me
And find out what's in me
There's really nothing in me
And nothing stays the same
And nothing ever happens to you that will happen to you again
Or is this the way it was?
Was it this same room, this same fight, this same scene?
With us dancing on the kitchen floor
And the wind climbing in through the open window

| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Apr 17, 2013 - 11:17 Thanks RP...I like Sivert's music. Would not have heard him if not for you |
| AndyJ (Oregon) | Posted: Apr 17, 2013 - 11:14 Almost all -8-s this morning... We must be in sync or maybe great minds running in same rut... |
| kdarwish (Turku, Finland) | Posted: Mar 17, 2013 - 00:18 Nice, mellow. Bit too similar to Chris Isaak's style, but hey... that's fine. Saint's be praised, happy St. Paddy's day to all. |

I remembered reading this post nearly three years ago, and every day I anxiously awaited its return. This is hands down the GREATEST POST in the history of RP! It is so right on true! "Panty burner..." Gold, Jerry...GOLD!! |

| 4merdj (donde el viento se devuelve) | Posted: Jan 02, 2013 - 14:03 I did not know this track from Madrugada. It is pretty good! Thanks RP!! ![]() |
| lungfish | Posted: Oct 11, 2012 - 04:57 I know there's been an abundance of comparisons made already in this thread, but I'm wondering if I'm the only one hearing Michael Franti here. |

| bachbeet | Posted: Jul 08, 2012 - 17:35 This singer has a good voice and every song I've heard from the group is good. The instrumentation goes well with his voice. |

| coccyx | Posted: Apr 25, 2012 - 10:38 freeking boring panty-burning notwithstanding |
| Quixx_II (Richmond, VA) | Posted: Apr 04, 2012 - 13:29 "I dislike this guy's voice is because it is a panty-burner." Hilarious! I like the extremely fat, fuzzy guitar pedal throughout. It's a good combination with the highlighted bass and synthesizer. |
| Sasha2001 (I can see Zabars from my window) | Posted: Mar 24, 2012 - 17:35 I think there's a lot of music on RP that sounds good, even though the song writing isn't better than average. And It's one of the reasons this is such a great place to hear music you wouldn't hear anywhere else. But I think Madrugada falls into this catagory. This is a boring song that sounds really good. |

| SinisterDexter | Posted: Jul 31, 2011 - 06:46 I'm not going to look thru 7 pages of comments, but I'm going to guess I'm not the only one who hears "Strange Way" from Firefall, especially near the end "That's a strange way to tell me you love me When your sorrow is all I can see..." |

| Synth80s (*Beautiful* Southern California (cough, choke, honk)) | Posted: Jul 04, 2010 - 01:15 One of the many bands that I probably wouldn't have discovered if it weren't for RP. I really, really dig Madrugada, but there music sure is hard to find in the U.S. |

I would question the women you know on this one djengs. :) Besides, maybe he's not self-indulgent - which would be much more attractive, to me at least. |

| Gatlinburger | Posted: May 04, 2010 - 17:07 Bill, I gotta ask: Is this guy your long lost cousin or what? Yeah, he's got a very distinctive voice, as do you, but seriously, the music isn't all that... |
