![]() Haunted (2000) [ larger cover art ] |
Wild, wild
I go wild, 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken
Wild because the chips are down
Wild because there isn't anybody else around
Wild when the waves start to break
And God knows they're breaking in me now
I go wild because it doesn't make sense
For me to cry out in my own defense
And wild because I would do anything
To tear you off your precious fence
So this is what it's like living in limbo
First I'm high, then I'm so low
I go wild 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken
Wild when I know you're near
I go wild
I go wild...
Tell me what you've come here for
Moving like a hunter through my back door
Leaving the perfume of all you adore
To die nameless on my floor
Yeah, well we both know that you don't play fair
I guess you really think that you'd get me there
Let's be honest, perhaps it's alright
It's too much for even you to bear
You've got some nerve to come back here
You're not the only one who can smell fear
I go wild 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken
Wild, don't you get it dear
You're not the only one who runs on instincts
No, I got instincts of my own
You've got a lot of nerve to come back
Plan your attack and I am still waiting
Did you want something?
You wrote the rules to try and contain me
You broke them now, you'll haven't tamed me
And I'm wild
I go wild
Tell me what you've come here for
What is it you adore, won't you tell me?
What would you cry for?
Swallow your pride for?
What would you, oh, go wild for?
You've got a lot of nerve to come back here
Speak up now, darling, I have been waiting
I go wild 'cause you break me open
Wild 'cause you left me here
I go wild 'cause your promises are broken
Wild, don't you get it dear?
You're not the only one who runs on instincts
No, I got instincts of my own
You got a lot of nerve to come back
Plan your attack, and I am still waiting
Did you want something?
You wrote the rules to try and contain me
You broke them now, you haven't tamed me
And I'm wild...
Oh, oh, oh...
Wild...
Tell me what you've come for...
I go wild...
Like a hunter...
Tell me what you've come for...
(come back here)
La da da da da da
Like a hunter...
Communication is not just words.
Communication is architecture.
Because of course it is quite obvious
That a house which would be built without the sense,
Without that desire for communication
Would not look the way your house looks today.

Well, if you had heard the long version, you would vote for the short version. It just breaks down into someone sampling the song then playing it back in stutters. It ruins the flow of the song and gets obnoxious. And it goes on and on and on. I really like the song and the album as a whole, but the "extended remix" part of that song has got to go. |
| Euskadita (MX) | Posted: Nov 14, 2012 - 15:23 A good artist for other's ears and tastes, not mine. |
| hidey (NZ) | Posted: Nov 04, 2012 - 00:01 Not very good - it gets duller and duller in fact. Sorry, but there it is. |
| passsion8 (over the hills and far away) | Posted: Oct 03, 2012 - 15:00 Oh Poe, where did you go? (moan) BTW - the RP link to her website goes to Edgar Allan Poe. This is the real link: http://realpoe.ning.com/ |

| railroadwail (Deep in Penn's Woods) | Posted: Apr 23, 2012 - 11:11 The percussion break in this one is quite nice and appropriate to the title. |
| Art_Carnage (DeepintheheartofTexas) | Posted: Mar 27, 2012 - 19:49 I really like her voice. It reminds me of Amanda Abizaid, who sang the award-winning theme to "The 4400". |

| billybob123 (Southern California) | Posted: Jul 29, 2011 - 13:13 This album is frickin' awesome. Never would've heard it at all without RP. And Amazon had it used for ten cents. |

Unfortunately the majority of the "mundane and forgettable" tend to be the groups with a female lead... not to hate but they just don't seem to be very interesting. There are plenty of very good bands with women on vocals but all to often the ones played here feel forced... like there is some unknown quota to balance out the male voices.... Again, nothing wrong with great music no matter who is singing, it just seems like some are played just for variety sake (not because they are very good) You haven't gone and compiled an inventory of "mundane and forgettable" groups, have you? I can think of a great many artists who would qualify, which feature male lead vocals, and I have probably forgotten many more (which is often the innate problem with forgettable things). I don't think those dubious qualities are dictated by the gender of the singer. The amount of airplay of certain artists may be determined by gender in some markets - though not likely here. I don't find Poe to be mundane or forgettable, but it's all subjective anyhow. |

A number of posters (no, not poseurs!) have noted that you are wrong about Poe's not writing her material. Does anyone ever cop to being wrong around here? And the dishonesty part? Explain please. |

This comment regarding a song off a concept album about the lose of her father. Weak. |

She has songwriting credits on every track on Hello and all but two tracks on Haunted (one of which is a remix of a song she did write) so I'm not really sure why you said that. |

| joshtime | Posted: May 12, 2010 - 14:10 New Poe please. A whole album's worth preferably... |

I find her endlessly fascinating, and this album is in my top 25 albums of all time. She's now past her legal troubles with her former record company, and is tentatively making a comeback (ie, playing live shows again for charity, getting more of an online presence...) I hope this bodes well for new music from her soon. |
| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: Apr 26, 2010 - 15:43 Like Poe. This is good, a little overproduced for my tastes. |

| plaice3 | Posted: Apr 17, 2010 - 19:07 I like the let-loose passion of this song. Interesting that Bill segues out of it before all the weird stuff, but that's probably a good thing. |

She doesn't write all her own material and is a bit of a poseur. She's not dishonest in this album, which was written after her father died and is one of the most moving albums I've ever listened to. Packed full of emotion with songs written from the heart. I rarely weep but I blubbed at the end of Haunted. An extraordinary album. 8 from the lachrymose Nottingham jury for this song, 10 for the CD. |
