Got myself a mission
I'm going to find heaven
I made cray-paper wings
I think they'll carry me a while
I left you a love poem
The best I have written
My favorite words
Were the ones I couldn't spell
They say that I'm a lunatic
They say that I am full of it
I say that it's worth dreamin'
Just for the dream of it
It's all about passion
It's all about perception
Don't call me on my cell phone
'Cause there ain't no reception
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
I think I'm growing feathers
But I'm not quite sure of it
'Cause I started getting dizzy
About a Hundred feet up
I made friends with the clouds
I made friends with the birds
If you ask a goose a question
He never shuts up
And honestly I miss you
And I hope that you're missing me
Cause I could use your lips on me
And a little bit of dramamine
For the moment I can see
Way better than I've ever seen
Don't sell my stuff on eBay
Cause I might need it back before I'm gone
Before I'm gone
I'm not the kind of man
Who's into looking downwards
I've drank my share of pity
From the bartender's cup
So many people
Wonderin' "What's the right direction?"
As far as I'm concerned
There's only one way up
And my fingers, they are blisters
And my eyes, they are bullet holes
But my hearts still beating
Guess I'm pretty lucky
Pretty lucky
Pretty lucky
(When I'm gone)
| stevendejong | Posted: Apr 22, 2013 - 10:18 I am with the previous five commenters here. Can this guy stop trying to sing? Hire a real vocalist and make him sing. Maybe the music is good, but I cannot judge because of that voice. |
| joelbb | Posted: Mar 21, 2013 - 23:11 If someone will tell where to find him, I will personally commit to ending his singing career w/ extreme prejudice. |
| mikemayday | Posted: Dec 10, 2012 - 04:34 I REALLY wish the guy would work on his voice a bit. As it is, it's just unbearable for me. |
| Netto (Khimki, Russia) | Posted: Nov 08, 2012 - 19:58 Voice and style reminds me Bob Geldorf Boomtown Rats, in a "I don't like Mondays" song. |
| Kay4Bee (Brentford, England) | Posted: Oct 16, 2012 - 03:19 This voice and style reminds me of David Rovics. I prefer David, even when unaccompanied. |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Sep 06, 2012 - 21:29 OK, I saw Spirit of the West perform this 3 weeks ago and, while I do prefer their version, this is not without merit. |
| smackiepipe (Western North Carolina) | Posted: May 11, 2012 - 05:52 The goofy style of this song reminds me of "Home For a Rest" by Spirit of the West, the only difference is I actually like hearing "Home For a Rest." |

Wait.. buck fifty a quarter? As in 6 bucks a year? |

I contribute money here and hearing this makes me want to not contribute. I'm also a contributor, and I don't like most Bowie, Elvis (Costello or Presley for that matter), and a large portion of the world music that gets played here, yet that doesn't make me regret my contribution. Either open your mind or mute your speakers for 4 minutes... I'm sure one of the two of those is hard, but the other should be easy. |

It's a beautifully-done concept album which wraps great music around some very deep, introspective soul exploration. I'd recommend you check it out. Amazon link here.
I took your advice purchased the album, and have been listening to it nonstop. There are a few small parts that grate on me, but overall it was an excellent work. Thanks for the comment/suggestion! |
| PA1749 (Room 106) | Posted: Jan 05, 2012 - 08:18 It's good to hear you playing some Cloud Cult again! Bring it. |

| rabaak | Posted: Feb 27, 2011 - 17:51 There are some songs off their new album Light Chasers that I really like. |
| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: Feb 27, 2011 - 17:49 I like it. Maybe 'cause I was a goofy college art student once upon a time. |

I contribute money here and hearing this makes me want to not contribute. An 'eclectic' station with a wide range of music is bound to delight and appall all its listeners at some time or other. One person's godlike is another's sucko-barfo. I can't be doing with this number but I stick with RP because there's far more music on here that pleases rather than hurts the ears, and every day there are surprises on the playlist. So even if I'm muting 1 in every 5 songs, as sometimes happens, I'm happy to continue contributing. RP is a unique experiment and one worth strongly supporting, IMO. The alternatives don't bear thinking about. |

Yet another example of the celebration of creativity that Bill brings to this forum, which, for some reason, seems to bug the hell out of some listeners. |

| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Aug 10, 2010 - 06:05 Sickest voice in business...? Excuse me Cult-fans, but since I discovered the TRUE CLASS of the BLACK KEYS, nothing else counts for me. Except Sting, despite his "writers-block" and his horrible new "Vegas" album! SR |
