Eeeeew!
the beginning of this sounded like that nasty Dave Matthews song.
Yuck!

  Fantastic song by the way.
 
DAMN! I was just at the Atomium two months ago, but I didn't go inside!!! I thought all the coolness was on the outside! I really need to put more time into researching my sight-seeing. . .

Lovely tune, though I've never been a fan of "breathy" vocals. Sometimes,it's a style that's usually way too over-used... No real soul or personal identity can properly be communicated through "breathy" vocals. I thought this was Charlotte Gainsbourg for a second, from her "5.55" album, which is, I admit, not that bad.... However, the fact that it COULD've been her, makes a strong case for more sparing use of the vocal style, I feel. Over an entire album, you just wish someone would suddenly kick the singer up the jacksie while she's laying down vocals, and make the decision to leave that particular take on the finished album! MAybe it's just me...

I wish Hooverphonic would come out with a new album. What a great sound they have.

The vocals on this track are killing me. I really like Hooverphonic, but this whispery, choked attempt at singing is too much. I know, it's fitting for the lyrics, but that doesn't mean I like it. Open your mouth and SING, girl!!!

I fell in love with this song ages past when it was featured in a Volkswagen ad. I love it as much now as I did then.

Yeah, I like the music a lot, but it needs better vocals--but not mine!

Don't hear much from Hooverphonic on RP anymore. Too bad... they're great.

These last four songs in this set have sucked! I thought this was Sophie Zelmani at first, still, this music upon my first rising of the day just makes me depressed!! Blecch!

"Hooverphonic" - wouldn't that mean "Sound That Sucks"?

Could they have derived their name from the fact, that like the famous hoover vacuum cleaner, they simply suck?
