You're not the man you used to be
I can tell that you still miss her
Mistress, lover, friend or fool
All offer you a shoulder.
Behind your back they're running scared
One look can show a hundred words
I think you're really searching now
While you glare and stumble on
The days they are escaping you.
If you reach a junction soon
You can ask for my direction.
Still if it's dark inside your room
There's no chance of my connection.
There's no chance of my connection.
| mgp22 | Posted: Jul 22, 2012 - 23:50 Great tune.. I like it! Has a lot of layers in instrument and voice. |
| Stingray (Cologne) | Posted: Dec 10, 2009 - 13:13 GOOD! |
| newwavegurly | Posted: Oct 08, 2009 - 14:40 A little too country/swamp rockish for my tastes. |
| Vinni_NL | Posted: Sep 07, 2009 - 02:28 Rated a 4, but i didn't find this acceptable... |

| jgeyer | Posted: Aug 06, 2009 - 13:50 Bill, next time you're going to play this one go ahead and kick me in the balls instead, and we'll call it even. |
| bobringer (Wayne, NJ) | Posted: Aug 06, 2009 - 13:49 Melody at the end = "I'm in the mood for a melody, I'm in the mood for a melody, I'm in the mood..." Rhythm and key are totally off... but the melody is there. |
| Hinkamp (Planet Utah) | Posted: Nov 26, 2008 - 12:59 well that was....forgettable. |

I don't even think electric folk counts. How about this? Let's stop trying to put music in little pigeonholes ("oh, it sounds a bit like Leon Russell with overtones of Kate Smith") but how about 2 categories - "Good" and "Bad"? I've found the spectrum of either of these range from Jazz to Country and Rock and all things in between and around them, and beyond. Take down the walls. Stop the brain-numbing record store categorization. This is becoming the death of music. If you don't fit one category, then you won't get played on Clear Channel. But no so here on RP, thankfully. Rant over. well you arent leaving much of a reason for their to be a radio paradise blog now, are you? |

That's because they aren't wailing like a fat girl for her lost unicorn. |
| oldman | Posted: Nov 14, 2007 - 10:04 Sorry, don't get the negative comments. Great band. |
| acampos (Paris, France) | Posted: Nov 14, 2007 - 09:40 
Sorry about my ignorance, but what the hell is this? is terrible!! |
| CoYoT51 (Reims, FRANCE) | Posted: Sep 12, 2007 - 15:26 Hey! R those girls as pretty as The Corrs sisters?  |
| slowhand (South!!!!!!!!!!) | Posted: Dec 23, 2006 - 10:11 This would be "uber hot" live. |
| Molcinrocks | Posted: Nov 24, 2006 - 06:26 Very Rocking Tune! |
| rtrudeau (Bay Area, California) | Posted: Nov 09, 2006 - 16:10 Yeeee Haaaaww. In a bad way.  |

| Quixmundi (on the banks of Eagle Creek, Indiana) | Posted: Jun 30, 2006 - 21:15 Way below RP standards. I've heard every lick, beat and harmony performed much better by way better musicians. Over-produced and under-talented. Oh, and I didn't like the lyrics either. |
| AliGator (Home) | Posted: Jun 16, 2006 - 06:02 I'm feeling a bizarre Roxette vibe with this song. Na na na na na... |
| cptbuz (El Dorado Hills, CA) | Posted: Mar 20, 2006 - 14:15 radio paradise, where you hear music that no one else plays...and in the case of this song...you learn why. |
| betsy (New York) | Posted: Mar 20, 2006 - 14:15 Kev's right, kids. MACARENA!!!!  |

Hmm, my first association was Dire Straits. Untill the voice started of course. Quite acceptable ... |
| Dave_Mack (Saratoga, CA) | Posted: Aug 08, 2003 - 09:33 These guys are good! Nice variety of sounds on their songs. |

| stinky (Shippensburg, PA) | Posted: Aug 05, 2002 - 19:34 Nice segue after Hornsby.  |

| madman (Huntington, NY) | Posted: Jun 11, 2002 - 07:32 If you think this sounds like country, then you must not listen to much country music. I happen to be a big country fan (real country, not that hybrid pop/country junk) and I dont see it in this song. However this tune is enjoyable to a degree. |
