A nailed-on Ho-Hum from the narcoleptic Nottingham jury  Sorry Fred, you are correct. The vast majority of The The's songs are more "rocking" than this. I should have made a more specific reference point — this YLT song reminds me of the softer side of The The, mainly the song The Whisperers. —cheers |

I have a 25 gallon canister of Mogodan here and I am coming to the UK to deliver it right to your front door step. Ever see the movie Jaws? I think that form of delivery would do it just right. ArrgggggHHH.     |
| shutter (You can't get here from there) | Posted: Jul 06, 2011 - 09:55 Love this YLT track. One of their best, imo. |

| japanmoran (Honolulu, HI) | Posted: Jun 21, 2010 - 13:31 Yeah, I thought this was Lloyd Cole. |
| salice (51st state) | Posted: Mar 18, 2010 - 09:51 Am I hearing a bit of Lloyd Cole in this? |

| SusanHiddenPoet (Texas) | Posted: Jun 07, 2009 - 14:00 Tender words, soothing melody and soft voice. Very nice! |
| Tree_Hugger (Seattle) | Posted: Feb 04, 2009 - 08:41 Just started my workday to this song - Thank you so much RP! |
| Thistle (Peg City) | Posted: Feb 04, 2009 - 08:40 A nice song ... but the playlist today is vvverrry slow and sedate. Almost like it was programmed by a soccer mom who wants to sit in the living room of the house paid for by her doctor-husband and read her lame novels and eat bon-bons all day. All you need to add is some Enya and I suspect listeners will fall into a shallow coma. |

Me too...this groove is addictive. The message is love. |

| dharmanavy (Sandiego) | Posted: Aug 18, 2007 - 21:50 Actually this song comes across as very sad to me... You and me we're at the goldfish pond and I, I was tagging along for the ride all the big mouthed fish really made us laugh and while I stood still I felt a chill I thought that maybe you did too I wanted to feel that way forever And that's why If you're looking at me I'll try to be what you want to see and if I'm, if I'm, ever that lucky You won't have to be so, You won't have to be so sad You won't have to be so sad. Last night I was trying to read in bed But I got to watching you sleep instead Even when I got tired I couldn't stop Because I love you so, and I pray you know But I'm not much for praying I knew I couldn't say that without making a joke And that's why if you're looking at me I'll try to be what you want to see and If I'm ever that lucky you won't have to be so You won't have to be so sad. You won't have to be so sad. Yeah that's why If you're looking at me I'll try to be what you want to see and I, if I'm ever that lucky you won't have to be so You won't have to be so sad. You won't have to be so sad. You won't have to be so sad. |
| bob789 | Posted: Aug 15, 2007 - 13:24 I love this song, but I am wondering about the lyrics. Ol' Warren Buffet is from Omaha. Snipping some lyrics... Well mister, if you're going to walk on water Could you drop a line my way? Hey Mister, if you're going to walk on water You know you're only going to walk all over me. It's the heart that matters more I think you better turn your ticket in And get your money back at the door. Maybe a coincidence, but then again, maybe he is saying that people who focus too much on materialistic things are missing something, despite his longing for them too. Either that, or maybe it is about his dog or something... |

| xkolibuul (Pacific Rim, salmon, big trees) | Posted: Jul 30, 2007 - 23:41 A remarkable song. A 4 on my first listen, a 7 on my second. And might climb further. |
| eskles | Posted: Jul 18, 2007 - 09:48 When they're "on", there's no finer band around. Problem is, they're only on about half the time. This is from the good half, for sure. |

That's freaking great! I found this place a few months ago, and am now in a job where I get to listen to music all day while performing repetitive tasks, and I've gotta say that Radio Paradise is what keeps me sane. This song is amazing. Amen! |

| cupajoe7 | Posted: Mar 11, 2007 - 12:04 Yeah! Love this song! Although, if you analyze it, it seems like a mess. Seemingly random-sounding piano tinkling -- repetitive percussion -- whispered, almost incoherent vocals. But it all adds up to a mesmerizing, enchanting whole. |
