A day once dawned and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell and the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around
So look, see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning
And now we rise and we are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
And see she flies, and she is everywhere
See she flies all around
So look, see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning

I can't even listen to that used to be wonderful song anymore and now this one is in danger of being removed from my playlist as well.  Freekin AT&T! I like when RP educates me as to where these 'commercial' songs originate! |

| lerxst (A Planet in the Solar Federation) | Posted: Aug 13, 2009 - 14:40 Someday I'll agree with everyone and worship this guy. Today is not that day. I like the guitar, just don't dig the voice at all. I find it annoying. |

And if you don't agree with me about that kind of music being bad, you're wrong. NOT "wrong"...just have a different opinion. World music is lively and exciting. It is a welcome breath of fresh air from some of the boring mainstream music overplayed to death. Expand, grow...enjoy music, art, culture from other areas of our beautiful world! |

Place Nick's CD into your multi-disc player if you have one then place other CD's of choice into that same player then hit the random button. This always works for me when I suffer from what you discribe..Never could get through an entire album of his in one sitting, though. His songs are great as individual "little breaks", but after a while, they all start to sound the same and lull one to sleep. |
| 99 (Austin, TX) | Posted: Jul 03, 2007 - 08:10 I beg to differ. 98% of Nick Drake's music was solid but have you heard "Magic"? pjterp wrote: nick drake could do no wrong. |

I disagree. I appear to be one of the few RP listeners who just cannot listen to Nick. |

| Fredrikson (Stockholm) | Posted: Nov 16, 2006 - 13:09 wow. i was hearing the song before this one (Lightning Seeds - Waiting For Today To Happen), and it was so bad i decided to tune out. instead, i put on a playlist of my own. on random. and this song starts playing (from MY computer). and then i see it starts playing here too (from looking at the "now playing" list. and i tune in again! edit: though the following song (Baka Beyond - Spirit of the Forest) was bad enough for me to tune out again. Seriously, what's up with all the friggin world music on this station?! |
