![]() Loud Planes Fly Low (2011) [ larger cover art ] |
So you’re kneeled down, squinting cowardly and half asleep
You’ve been firing, only barely clipping her little wing
I’m waiting, with a mirror in front of me
Complicated dance move
I’m waiting, with a mirror in front of me
Complicated dance move
She’s my sister, and she floats like a bird in the canopy
I’m listening, so let’s go, sight locked, grit your teeth
I’m waiting, here I am brilliant, aim at me
Complicated dance move
She’s my sister, and she floats like a bird in the canopy
She floats like a bird in the canopy
You’ve been firing, only barely clipping her little wing
I’m waiting, with a mirror in front of me
Complicated dance move
I’m waiting, with a mirror in front of me
Complicated dance move
She’s my sister, and she floats like a bird in the canopy
I’m listening, so let’s go, sight locked, grit your teeth
I’m waiting, here I am brilliant, aim at me
Complicated dance move
She’s my sister, and she floats like a bird in the canopy
She floats like a bird in the canopy
| garycha (Bristol, UK) | Posted: Apr 20, 2013 - 01:43 First time I've heard this one. I like it. Job done. S funny that a few have challenges discerning their Bs and Ts. Get yer ears cleaned. Or improve your listening environment. Or just listen ;-) |
| kcar | Posted: Apr 20, 2013 - 01:39 Experiment IV-level awfulness. Must have a half-life of 10,000 years. Kate did warn you... |
| Rmike (Up a creek down a river) | Posted: Apr 03, 2013 - 17:46 Coming to read these comments is so stupid. I just have to stop it!!! The people here are so depressing. I'm in it for the music, not the brats. Now I will try to stop staring at the human train-wrecks, and just appreciate a great music site. |
| Styl | Posted: Mar 19, 2013 - 14:37 Like the ambience of this song |
| Katemonster (Camp Cheney, Spokanistan) | Posted: Dec 15, 2012 - 12:58 There is no song on RP that I loathe as passionately as this one. Good lord. |
| shakitten (Trying to get back into a good dream) | Posted: Aug 26, 2012 - 21:22 Love this... |

I agree with everyone else on that point. There are so many really really good songs out there. Please play this one a little less. thanks You sure got that right! I like the song, but I don't need to hear it in such heavy rotation. White Socks Flip Flops it ain't. |

| MiracleDrug (Earth) | Posted: Oct 05, 2011 - 10:22 bumped from 7 to 8 for the decent suspended cymbal rolls... |
| gosvimmink | Posted: Oct 05, 2011 - 10:21 completely overplayed... 1 |
| lathyris (Houston, TX) | Posted: Sep 26, 2011 - 17:11 Oooooffff. . .all rejected. Feel like I got the wind punched out of me. STILL. I stand by my assessment of this being a great album. lathyris wrote: Go buy it! It's a great album! But in the meantime, I'll upload a couple more and see if they can survive the wrath of the LRC. Those people can be brutal. |

I have always wondered why great CD's like Night Of The Furies and Life Like never made the RP-playlist. Great music, lousy marketing! I uploaded "Silence By the Lakeside" from Night of the Furies to the LRC where it fared pretty well but didn't make it to the main playlist. I think what we hear on RP has more to do with the whims of the Goldsmiths than with any kind of marketing. |

Great variety, which I love. But in this case, I think we've heard this song PLENTY lately. Could we hear one of the other tracks on this CD for a change?

| Alexandra (Here and Now) | Posted: Aug 08, 2011 - 10:53 I like this! |
| newwavegurly | Posted: Jul 29, 2011 - 12:18 Just got this album yesterday. I'm looking forward to giving it a listen. |
| bluecshells (EARTH) | Posted: Jul 29, 2011 - 12:17 This is such a lovely experience. |
| Kimberly8 (Washington, DC) | Posted: Jul 26, 2011 - 19:55 I actually found the song quite beautiful..alluring..and soothing..helping me study without panic.. |
| Imkirok (The Arctic Hinter Land) | Posted: Jul 25, 2011 - 13:39 I usually don't mind a little quieter, laid back music. But that one put me to sleep. |
| Zytozux (Aiur) | Posted: Jul 24, 2011 - 02:58 AWWW YEAHHH! Hushed Vocals ![]() |
| RobMartin (CA) | Posted: Jul 14, 2011 - 14:52 Nice feel here. Does anyone else hear a faint resemblance to the old INXS song "To Look At You" (also in play on RP) |

Almost certainly: ![]() I think Bill and/or Becky must have just discovered this band as they've been playing a lot of them from various albums over the last few weeks. Which is fine by the Nottingham jury, which awards an easy 7 to this song. |
| justin4kick (The Netherlands) | Posted: Jul 14, 2011 - 14:27 Lovely, but their previous CD Life Like is their masterpiece in my opinion. |
| dharma17 (Tunisia) | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 02:05 I just discovered now this band, I like this sound! ![]() |
| Mister_red (Algeria) | Posted: Jul 04, 2011 - 15:41 Discovering and loving it, no matter the lirics are not that good. |

| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: May 18, 2011 - 08:14 Interesting... minimalism music, but complex production get the most from it... hmmmm... |
| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: May 18, 2011 - 08:13 She walks alone down a sleazy backstreet Around a corner, up an alley to a dead end There under a small blue light She enters an unmarked doorway A low heartbeat, a low pounding escapes into the night This is a place she goes to fulfill a very basic need Something people have been doing since the dawn of man To communicate without talking If she needs something She makes a gesture with her hand And mouths what she wants She wants to make a connection A certain kind of connection No this is not about something from the black market This is about no questions This is about smoke and sweat and beats This is about no message |
| Inamorato (Twin Cities) | Posted: May 15, 2011 - 10:57 It's good to have some Rosebuds on the playlist. I like everything about this song. |
