Great song!  Kind of Peter Gabriel-ish.

I like this.
The voice is a bit reminiscent of Paul Young from the 80's.

"Schlock is an English word of Yiddish origin meaning "something cheap, shoddy, or inferior (perhaps from German Schlag, Yiddish shlak, meaning 'a stroke')"

In the field of science, "schlock" refers to shoddy methods or unreliable results. In art, "schlock" is sometimes used as a synonym for kitsch."

And what did your comment add to the discussion?

The techno of Fever Ray, the vocals of Iron and Wine, the ethereal wuftiness of Dead Can Dance...

Yep, I like it. Might need a couple more listens to rate it, but tentatively, I'll give it a 7.

heard it back in 2004-5 or so, and it's still a nice recap back to the days of memories.

If by "Lullaby" you mean "rip-off" and Loneliness you mean "Enigma" then I get it.

Tough crowd here, although it's a little hard to take them seriously when they spell like that.

I like this tune. I'm gonna download it.

As other's said, I'm hearing a good bit of Robbie Robertson's 'Music for the Native Americans' thrown a bit further into the atmosphere on this. I like Robbie a lot better, but on first listen I like this.

I like the music, the backing vocals and the chorus. I think this would make for an interesting mashup with ??? Or a nice ambient piece if it were remixed to remove the parts where Aaron speaks.

The lyrics are good, but they all lead up to the line 'the lullaby of loneliness'. . . what a cheese lyric compared to what proceeds.

The cheese level here is very high. the "woohoo" female vocals, which are about 30 seconds too long, the random "world music" male cry, and then maybe a dirigdoo(?) at the end. Wow, seriously, I can't believe so many listeners let this song slide as above average quality. (6.2?)

I bought this CD a couple of years ago after hearing it on RP. I like the music and the lyrics even more now than at first.

When a song starts with a life/knife line right at the top, you know there's little hope. ;-P

"The noon cuts the moon like a knife", excellent expression.

This is a very... "interesting" song. I don't know what to make of it. I think I like it... but then again, I might hate it. Hmmm...


I can't see Nusrat singing with him unless it's a sample.
