![]() Everything and Nothing (2000) [ larger cover art ] |
I count the tables, she counts the trees
I tell stories, she speaks of everything she sees
I'm in the shade, she's in the blinding light of heaven
A fire raised by paper boats
But now she stands before me opening the buttons of her coat
I find myself wrapped in open arms of heaven
She's giving me everything she owns
Electricity
I hear his work, these idle hands
I turn my back, while she's done everything she can
I've lied awake eaten by the poverty of anger
She's giving me directions home
I don't see a thing
Except this gentle glow of haloes
He told me of the grace I lack
He clipped my wings but now my strength is coming back
I lay my case before the open heart of heaven
She's giving me everything she owns
I don't see a thing
Except this gentle glow of haloes
I tell stories, she speaks of everything she sees
I'm in the shade, she's in the blinding light of heaven
A fire raised by paper boats
But now she stands before me opening the buttons of her coat
I find myself wrapped in open arms of heaven
She's giving me everything she owns
Electricity
I hear his work, these idle hands
I turn my back, while she's done everything she can
I've lied awake eaten by the poverty of anger
She's giving me directions home
I don't see a thing
Except this gentle glow of haloes
He told me of the grace I lack
He clipped my wings but now my strength is coming back
I lay my case before the open heart of heaven
She's giving me everything she owns
I don't see a thing
Except this gentle glow of haloes

I checked the track listings to see what Roxy song this was after about a minute....recognize Sylvian and def. Fripp now that another minute has passed! Good stuff! Bill Play "Darkness Falls"! from Sylvian and Fripp |

| krysthal (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: Nov 29, 2011 - 08:55 Great tune Bill! Love David Sylvian, but have not listened to much of this newer material. A solid 9 from me. Thanks! Fripp is definately on this track. |
| mcYammer (Beervana) | Posted: Nov 29, 2011 - 08:54 Thx for the history, Bargamon. I was unaware. The first few bars pricked my KCprog ears to look it up. Now I think I hear Levin on stick. what is going on here? Bargamon wrote: Need more Sylvian. With or without Fripp. Great stuff! Work with Fripp on "Damage" might be one the best by either. Sylvian Did not want to be in a "band" so he rejected Fripps overtures to be in King Crimson. Damage was with the Crim's band and sounds about right. |

| Marr (Houston (dreaming of Austin)) | Posted: Jan 18, 2011 - 10:12 Has anyone else noticed how he sounds a bit like a cross between Brian Ferry and Danny Elfman? Added later.... I see others have commented. Good sound, especially with the KC-like guitar work. |
| coolpeople_rule (Winter wonder land) | Posted: Aug 12, 2010 - 19:27 David Sylvian, disturbed and content at the same time. He makes it work together quite well! |

| horstman (Syracuse, New York) | Posted: Feb 08, 2008 - 16:32 I hear alot of David Bowie in this, especially from "Low", very electronic. Never heard this guy before, but then I can say that about alot of the stuff that's played here. Hell, I keep coming back so even if this is not a "hit", something is bound to be. Like : Porcupine Tree Nick Drake Elliot Smith Gomez I could go on all night. |
