![]() Kokopelli (2003) [ larger cover art ] |
He looks like me
But not so haunted
Eyes like the sea
In storm
In torment
How can a body so frail
Contain this spirit
This creature I see
We're taking an avalanche
And lifting it up again
I've been high enough
To get to where I wanna go (ooh)
And living another day
Won't keep me out of touch
I'll find you some day
Got to get you out of this somehow I know
He looks right through me
So unprotected
His only legacy
Returned
Rejected
So young so free
So old and ridden
Oh what you see
We're taking an avalanche
And lifting it up again
I've been high enough
To get to where I wanna go (ooh)
And living another day
Won't keep me out of touch
I'll find you some day
Got to get you out of this somehow I know
He's nothing like me
So wrong and wretched
Your safe reality
Is living in sketches
And live out happiness
With no explanation
And peer out at the world
We're taking an avalanche
And lifting it up again
I've been high enough
To get to where I wanna go (ooh)
And living another day
Won't keep me out of touch
I'll find you some day
Got to get you out of this somehow I know
(He looks like me
But not so haunted
Eyes like the sea
In storm
In torment
How can a body so frail
Contain this spirit
This creature I see)

Once again, RP brings us another band I'll guess few of us would have heard, or even heard of, otherwise. 9 from the creeped-out Nottingham jury. This makes three of us. 7 -> 8 as my fear centers send my mouse cursor scurrying with anxiety (but it's a fun kind of anxiety!) to the drop-down ratings menu.... |

It's cool how the song has a spooky ambiance to it, but lyrically it kind of wanders around and gets lost in the avalanche... I will leave it unrated... hmmmm... if only the lyrics were as fresh and original as the music... |

| TJS (Bradley, Il) | Posted: Mar 13, 2012 - 14:08 I really like this. She's got a sort of Carly Simon feel to her voice. |

| GrooVy (Planet Earth, Mainly...) | Posted: Jan 10, 2012 - 00:02 Quite a good intro. She started singing and i thought, why? ...Then her voice expanded a nice vocal range and i dig it. I give her thumbs up! |
| k1j2cat | Posted: Nov 07, 2011 - 12:52 Oh myyyy, what an awesome voice. I hate coming late to the Kosheen party but I'm so glad you played this song so I could discover them. Thanks cubed! |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jul 04, 2011 - 20:15 I must just be in the mood for Queen, because I have my speakers turned down and her vocals sound like Freddy Mercury's... I'm sure that once I hear it again, I'll fwap myself in disbelief and get my train back on track... |

| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Feb 28, 2011 - 11:57 ...this is pretty interesting - that swooping bass line makes a nice contrast against the vocals... |
