![]() Unified Theory (2000) [ larger cover art ] |
Something tells me
That a drop of your wine
Is sweeter than mine
Someone scared me
Into opening my mind
And drank the poisonous wine
I know I'm not dead
Oh God, I'm not dead
Oh God, I'm not dead yet
Something tells me that your cigarette smoke
Will not make me choke
Something scared me
And I haven't let go
I must face this alone
I know I'm not dead
Oh God no I'm not dead
Oh God, I know I'm not dead yet
The more I believe
The less I enjoy this life
The less I need anyone
The more I need you
| ceviche (Lima, Peru) | Posted: Mar 03, 2011 - 13:25 Nice transition from Paul Simon - The Afterlife. From the comments, hasn't played on Radio Paradise for 5 years. So I wonder how long it took Bill to remember "...that song I used to play that sounded like this new one from Paul Simon..." |

Kind of like the dude who replaced Bon Scott in AC/DC, who sounds exactly like Scott. I am a big Melon fan. I was thoroughly compelled to post an image reply to this, but then...nah. |
| PixelPushers | Posted: Oct 31, 2005 - 10:35 A great song to follow this one would be the "I'm not dead yet" song from Spamalot. |
| Johnny_Truant | Posted: Oct 10, 2005 - 23:22 The quivering voice in the chorus reminds me of why I don't like Bright Eyes. The idea that fragility necessarily equates to sincerity is false. Otherwise, this song might be alright. |

That's a good THEORY. Still largely unproven. Still an excellent tune from a solid album. |

| ghrup | Posted: Mar 16, 2005 - 08:59 Sounds a bit like Hoon singing |

That's how I feel about this whole album. |
| LLMikeJ (midwest) | Posted: Nov 18, 2004 - 08:04 "something tells me that your cigarette smoke will not make me choke"...??? this is awful |
| katzendogs (Pasadena,Texas) | Posted: Nov 05, 2004 - 21:02 I really want to say something really bad.it's a 1 for me. |
| dpjag (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Oct 07, 2004 - 07:39 I love half of this, and really dislike half. Guess I need to listen to it again. |

| Slipstream | Posted: Sep 22, 2004 - 18:35 Bought this album on iTunes (before the ability to have a portion given back to RP, unfortunately) after hearing it here on RP. It is VERY good, and worth the purchase. Very happy! |
| serenity5 (Boston, MA) | Posted: Sep 20, 2004 - 11:01 I enjoyed this. Muy bueno |

funny you should mention that - when they toured, they frequently played a seriously arse-kickin' cover of Pink Floyd's "Breathe". also check out Blind Melon if you dig his guitar work. |
| Beez (Just passing through) | Posted: May 20, 2004 - 10:22 Buy this cd. :nodhead: |
| designerGirl | Posted: May 18, 2004 - 09:20 Love this song! I believe these are members of Pearl Jam and Blind Melon. They are no longer a band however. Too bad. They're quite good! |
| drH (Fernwood, OH) | Posted: Apr 24, 2004 - 08:32 I can dig it. |
| Red_Dragon (somewhere in the great midwest) | Posted: Apr 09, 2004 - 13:06 i like the way this guy plays a guitar....methinks he listened to a lot of david gilmour |
| Roverfish (Tucson, AZ - Thanks for visiting, please drive through!) | Posted: Feb 10, 2004 - 14:18 I read the title and think Monty Python Holy Grail. Can't help it... Nice tune from these guys, anyway. |

This is pretty good. First time I've heard it. |
| stickytylertoo (Houston, TX) | Posted: Oct 30, 2003 - 09:20 "Something scared me and I haven't let go, I must face this alone" Sounds like someone battling addiction, do you think? |
| orpheus (east coast) | Posted: Aug 19, 2003 - 22:01 cool tune and indentifiable lyrics (have I died and not known it?) - deserves a much better rating, and this is the first time I'm hearing it. |
| mitchscharf (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Jul 30, 2003 - 12:33 I actually think is one of the best songs of the day... then He played Big Country by Bela Fleck... Radio Paradise is pretty damn cool! ![]() |

| DaWiz (Honolulu, HI) | Posted: Feb 24, 2003 - 04:17 I'm pretty close to dead listening to it! |
| mperry (Columbia, MO) | Posted: Feb 06, 2003 - 07:14 Compare this to the song that comes after, "Common Disaster" by the Cowboy Junkies. "Not Dead" is subtle as a sledgehammer and uninteresting musically. Blech. Boring. |
