![]() Solarized (2004) [ larger cover art ] |
Her heart gets broken, it's something she can't hide
She's cut like a diamond from a mine as deep as time
The words that she's spoken have energised my mind
A sheer elevation so like eagles high, we'll glide
Hot love it smoulders, it's something she can't hide
A manifestation of a force as old as time
Now morning has broken and solarized my eyes
Her sheer dispensation says like eagles high, we'll glide
Solarized in the sunrise, soul rise in the sunrise
Rise with the sunrise, solarized in the sunrise
Soul rise in the sunrise, rise with the sunrise
The light that she lives for in the dark, she'll always find

| civimixer | Posted: Jul 04, 2011 - 08:13 Very cool mood in this tune. |
| Byronape (Snorkeling in the River Styx) | Posted: Jun 02, 2011 - 17:00 It's like Ian Brown jamming with an uninspired Radiohead. Interesting if slightly over produced tune. I loved the first Stone Roses album, The Second Coming was much less exciting. I've only heard a small amount of his solo stuff, but what I have heard I've liked. |
| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: Mar 31, 2011 - 12:02 Yea, I like his solo stuff! 8 |

| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: Aug 22, 2010 - 08:40 Good stuff - Even better than some of his Stone Roses stuff |

This has gone on long enough, don't let him beat you. Call the cops, carry a weapon or call me. I'm not much of a fighter but maybe the 2 of us can turn the tables on him. |
| Casa_Blanca (Quillan, France) | Posted: Jul 07, 2009 - 09:00 all the SR fans will be mad for it, but the geezer's only made a few good tunes since the first SR album, blinkered? |

| skdenfeld (Bend, Oregon) | Posted: Mar 18, 2009 - 16:14 Finally got a hold of this album. It's good across the board to my ears. The music is interesting and (mostly) unique. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Nov 12, 2008 - 06:54 Reminiscent of the Shamen and dog-on-a-rope New Age crusties. Ok for a while, but I suspect the lyrics could start to get on one's tits after a bit. 5 from the Nottingham jury. |

This and Keep What Ya Got are the best. The rest is marred by overmixed fake horns....sad. Could have been a great album! |

his entire back catalogue is essential listening - in fact this isnt even one of his better tracks - there was a greatest hits CD last year which is worth getting for anyone new to the legend that is Ian Brown |
| DoctorHooey (/etc) | Posted: Aug 13, 2007 - 14:54 Never heard this before. Very cool! |
| Jamunca (Asheville, NC) | Posted: Jun 27, 2007 - 12:41 I like this song. I also like toasted raisin-bread with a little butter on top. Make of that what you will. |
| alux (atop the pyramid) | Posted: Jun 11, 2007 - 17:41 Dude, time to lay off the repeat button. You play any song more than once a day for a year, and its going to seem humdrum, because by that point it IS. That's the whole point of RP and eclectic radio. If the rest of Ian Brown's styles were this good, I'm sure Bill would sample more. But I'll take this, every few weeks, just fine in the mix. Frater_Kork wrote: Quite. I digged this a year ago, a copule of hundred playings later it feels a bit humdrum, must be more Ian Brown albums with different styles out there. |
| drekar (Dallas.) | Posted: May 11, 2007 - 08:35 I keep coming back to re-rate this song higher. |

A solid 10 as an album, 8 for the song. Rock on Ian! I didn't even know Ian had done anything since the Roses. Chalk up another CD sale as a result of RP. This is getting expensive. |

| ndfan75 (Texas) | Posted: Jul 31, 2006 - 12:10 pretty trippy groove, wonder what his other stuff sounds like. Reminds me of that crazy music towards the end of 28 Days Later |
| matchball | Posted: Jul 31, 2006 - 12:09 Reminds me of Nine Inch Nails |
| carbonatom (Manchester UK) | Posted: Jul 02, 2006 - 04:02 Outstanding! Must buy this Album |
| Leatherpoker | Posted: May 19, 2006 - 08:42 This song reminds me of that little midget in Twin Peaks. Everything is "backwards forwards"! |
