![]() Blacklisted (2002) [ larger cover art ] |
Rain falls, I fix my eyes
Let go of the focus
And I blur out all the lines
Just to remember, remember
Crying 'cause it's not my fault
Water through my lashes
Look just like Christmas lights
And I still remember, remember
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering warm
Ooh, ooh
Sing please, rock me to sleep
Quiet as a canyon
Up under heaven's eaves
I surrender, surrender
Downstairs the furnace swells
Safe from all the horrors
In your stinging velvet arms
And I surrender, surrender
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering warm
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering
Cold and shivering warm

| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Aug 13, 2010 - 15:54 Something about Neko that just gets to me. In a good way. Think its the lyrics and the delivery. |

| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Mar 07, 2010 - 19:45 LOVE her voice! It kind of reminds me of Bernadette Peters - a touch nasally, in a good way. Was Calexico backing her on this one? Awesome guitars / drums - sounds like John's trademark thunder drum at the end. |

LOL- Nora has a lower gear she can use.Neko just grabs it and goes.She must have gills or something, because she never runs out of breath.I think if she tried to back off her hair would explode or something from all the stifled energy. |

| bseib (40 24' N 86 53' W) | Posted: Apr 25, 2007 - 08:35 my 3rd old seriously loves this song, but mistakes the lyrics, i.e., "Can we listen to 'Corn & Sugar'?" This album is great. |

Yeah, the cover picture pushed my rating up a little, if that makes any sense. Good song. I also like the "stinging velvet" comment. She makes me want to hear Tammy Wynette though..... |

We could do worse! I love her voice. I could listen to her sing a phone book. c. |

oh, ditto! I thought I was the only person not in love with one, the other, or both. Her voice doesn't do it for me, which I understand is personal and to each his or her own, but her songs sound redundant to me because of that whine/nasality (?). |
| Rickvee (New Orleans) | Posted: Apr 09, 2007 - 13:54 Love me some Neko on a Monday afternoon. |

The semitone-change hook is identical to the one used by Roy Orbison in Leah. |

Sing it, Neko, sing it! Give me that Furnace Room lullaby, that train-whistle harmonic, make me twist and wiggle while I'm supposed to be making a list of kanji and romaji for the new entries in the Kyushu chapter! BTW it's a damn shame about Ray...isn't it? Nice set you got going here, Bill! |
