The wind turns like a dagger
The rain falls like a hammer
The sky has grown dark
But it's not too late
The weather crashes down
What's lost cannot be found
The night is closing
But it's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
The atmosphere is lethal
But I will fear no evil
The ocean rolls like thunder
The tempest pulls us under
The dogs are howling
But it's not too late
As broken structures rust
False idols turn to dust
All lies in ashes
And it's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
The atmosphere is lethal
But I will fear no evil
In the dark before the dawn
The echo of the siren's song
Dies away like a ghost
As the day breaks
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
The atmosphere is lethal
But I will fear no evil

| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Dec 25, 2010 - 09:55 Hello RP-Listeners! I wish all of you "MERRY CHRISTMAS", wherever you are - whoever you wanna be! Christmas, for me, is a sweet-naive tradition - not a religious event! Weak as I am - I like it. Yes, I do! Still - I hope that Bill takes the chance to rock the christmas-tree to pieces tonight! "Happy Christmas your "BAD SANTA", aka STINGRAY -from Cologne/Germany- PS Sermon of the day (promise: I'm serious): The "Three Wise Men" - Melchior, Balthasar + Caspar are buried in a golden sarcophage in"our" dome, the famous "Cologne dome" - the third highest church-building in the world - right in the very centre of town, next to the Rhine. A gothic building of extra-class!

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Nov 23, 2010 - 17:09 Masterful instrumentals, and I love his quivery, Harrison-ish vocals. He takes chances in this song, which makes me love it more. The lyrics make me smile and shudder at the same time - it's as if he's both good and evil, holding out hope even as he points out the hopelessness. Dang - for my first listen, this song is far more complex than I'd thought it would be... |

| Zappamann (Schwerin Germany) | Posted: Sep 21, 2010 - 08:00 I really like the voice...but the SONG isn`t soooo great... ![]() |
| bpkengor (York, Maine, USA) | Posted: Sep 21, 2010 - 08:00 I like everything about T Bone Burnett except his singing. Too much singing through the nose for my taste. But the fruits of his production & playing & songwriting are all first rate! |
| Mina_the_Boo (Atlanta) | Posted: Aug 20, 2010 - 07:18 String in this reminds me of Amy Winehouse, Back to Black. |
| Alafia (on the road) | Posted: Aug 20, 2010 - 07:16 A great disk. Surprised at the low rating on this one. |
| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Jun 17, 2010 - 12:00 I've met and worked with Burnett - unfortunately, not on a music project and alas, after he and Sam Phillips divorced (really really wanted to meet her!) He's very nice in person, very gentle and easy to deal with. A real Southern Gentleman, same as his hero Chet Atkins. So, there's still a few decent people left in the music business. |
| Businessgypsy (Deepest, Darkest Florida) | Posted: May 16, 2010 - 17:14 The Master's voice - nice! |
| dctrpunda (the thin line of here) | Posted: May 16, 2010 - 17:13 hmmm, not hitting me the same way |
| Giselle62 (California's Cental Coast) | Posted: Jan 10, 2010 - 12:57 I like this. |
| bpkengor (York, Maine, USA) | Posted: Jun 03, 2009 - 12:49 7 years between comments! Impressive! |
| jadewahoo (Beautiful Earth) | Posted: Jun 03, 2009 - 12:46 This guy can sure write and present some intriguing concepts and feeling. Great! |
| Patti_M. (Mission Viejo (519 miles SE of RP), CA) | Posted: Jul 24, 2002 - 09:38 And let's not forget that he was producer/arranger for the most excellent soundtrack album, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". pbm 8^) |
| catsoup (Euclid, OH) | Posted: Jun 13, 2002 - 12:42 George Harrison is not dead! :) |
| Leslie (Antioch (155 mi. south of RP), CA) | Posted: Feb 14, 2002 - 21:46 I really like all of the T Bone Burnett tunes that I have heard here on RP so far. This one is no exception. |
| Antigone (Elkton, VA) | Posted: Feb 04, 2002 - 11:34 The title track off this cd is excellent! |
| ZM/Herb (Orlando, FL) | Posted: Jan 04, 2002 - 06:35 Great addition to the playlist - from a very good album...unique style and terriffic song-writing. More would be a good thing. |
