![]() The Garden (2006) [ larger cover art ] |
Don't you, know that I'll, be around to, guide you,
Through your, weakest moments to leave them, behind you.
Returning nightmares, only shadows.
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright.
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright,
For now.
Crosses, all over, heavy on, your shoulders,
The sirens, inside you, waiting to, step forward.
Disturbing, silence, darkens, your sight,
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright.
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright,
For now.
Crosses, all over, the boulevard.
Crosses, all over, the boulevard.
Crosses, all over, the boulevard.
Crosses, all over, the boulevard.
The streets outside your window, overflooded.
People staring, they know you've, been broken.
Repeatedly reminded, by the looks on, their faces,
Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright.
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright.

| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: Mar 10, 2011 - 04:14 This sounds like a mix between Iron and Wine and Belle and Sebastian and something else. Anything but Zero 7 which I like anyway and I really like this song and I am also really rambling...........8. Edit: Ahhhhhhh Jose Gonzales, I feel better now though I was feeling just fine anyway listening to this great song ok bye. |
| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Jan 06, 2011 - 13:15 OMG — I almost hate to mention this (especially since I am a HUGE Zero 7 fan) — but I suddenly started hearing Christopher Cross "Ride Like The Wind" in the middle of this.......... yikes!! (I'm sure this observation was probably made already, I just didn't feel like scrolling through 5+ pages of song comments) ![]() |
| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Jan 06, 2011 - 13:09 GORGEOUS SONG AND BAND! THIS IS ROCK-AS-I-LIKE-IT! |
| soundlife (ROME ITALY) | Posted: Sep 01, 2010 - 14:38 fresh groove sound vintage! Very good! |

I can kind of hear that in the bassline, though it seems only vaguely related. I like this one (and APP too). Thank YOU for posting this. It has been driving me nuts. And here I had the vague sensation that I was hearing "Driver's Seat" redux, instead. But no, it was indeed APP. Whew. |

| canadapaul | Posted: Nov 20, 2009 - 17:36 i like it; some wise man once told me, if you want to get to know the parameters of someone's thinking; look at 3 things; their shoe rack, what kind of spices they use and the type of music they listen to. i'm not sure why it came up when i heard this tune, but i can imagine the comments this gets from the old-skoolers whose reference point for a "10" is relegated to the likes of something from Let It Be or Ziggy Stardust... |

| PeteyGreens (Frederick, MD) | Posted: Oct 17, 2008 - 08:13 Kittee - Kittee - Kittee! Zero 7 is a genre of its own. Turn out the lights, close your eyes, and be carried away.

| skindy (AwlbanNY) | Posted: Sep 04, 2008 - 09:30 Hey Bill, clever segue from Thievery Corporation to this! Here are two bands I wasn't familiar with until the Garden State soundtrack, heard 'em, loved 'em - and now I get to hear another song from each band back-to-back! Love the groove in this one - and as always, love the Middle Eastern vibe of the Thievery Corp track... |
| Stingray (Cologne, Germany) | Posted: Aug 03, 2008 - 17:38 GORGEOUS! |

| tobstar | Posted: Jul 03, 2008 - 04:21 is this a speacial mix? Pretty sure I have Zero 7 - Crosses and it doesn't sound like this. NOTE: I may be going mental? |
| KamikazeRudy (Dwight, IL) | Posted: May 12, 2008 - 12:46 The end of this song reminds me of the instrumental piece when they are driving the van in Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke. Pretty cool song. |

Now, listening to them always makes me ask: WHY??? Is there a special atmosphere coming with RP? Yeah, absolutely there is! That's what building a set is all about. Try making playlists within iTunes that mix the songs in a way that they make sense to you. I have a list of driving songs, songs that remind me of someone I miss, etc. Drumming songs. Sleeping songs. |

Nothing weird about that. He's Swedish himself. |

| Amazon (Big Bend, TX) | Posted: Oct 05, 2007 - 09:45 Hmm. I had to give it a low rating, esp the first part of the track. I like Z-7's "Waiting Line" quite a bit so it was a disappointment to find out this is Z-7 also. |
| PeeBee (The Netherlands) | Posted: Oct 05, 2007 - 09:42 Just love Zero 7 |

It's a pretty good song, though. I gave it a 7. fish and non fish alike seem to agree on the seven . . . thinking of bumping it to an 8, however, as it grows on me. |
