![]() Inland Territory (2009) [ larger cover art ] |
While you were building your empires
I was still sleeping
I was still sleeping
While you were setting your woods afire
I was still dreaming
I was still dreaming
Now I will unsettle the ground beneath you
Send my waters ashore
Creep into your bed
Find you in every corner
While you argue it over
I am not waiting
I am not waiting
While you retreat to your comforts
I am not fading
I am not fading
I've done this many times before you
Old Shanghai, New Orleans
Amsterdam and Mumbai
Strange new creatures
To scavenge your pores
Oh I've done this many times before you
Ashen sky, lightning storms
Deltas to desert plains
Wartime on every border
I've done this many times before you
Watched the pattern take form
Children your time is done
If you say it's done together

Mediocre tunes don't inspire me to go to the computer to vote - or even to go to the computer to discover who the artist might be... It's not the distribution of the ratings, in this case - it's the comment. Gleefully, remorselessly hateful - with profanity. I'm sure my rating distribution is nothing to write home about, but at least I don't go through a particular artist's playlist and methodically post the same hateful, juvenile slam on every single song by that artist. To me, that equals "troll." | ||||||||||

I"ve given my share of "1" ratings (most of which I don't post), and everyone is entitled to their opinions. Using abusive language to state an opinion is, in my opinion, TROLL. sirdroseph, I have no excuse for you, but I love you anyway. peter_james_bond wrote: The difference is in how he expresses his dislike.

Thanks, peter_james_bond. I hadn't verified t00lur's history. And I rather love sirdroseph's comments. Geez, I should stop posting. Too much stress.

| Nerubo (Denver, CO) | Posted: Aug 05, 2010 - 16:04 Sounds a bit like Portishead in parts. In case that's not obvious, that's a Good Thing(tm). I don't think she's trying to sound like Portishead, my brain just has to compare it to a song I've heard before. Maybe if I hear this enough, I'll say Portishead sounds like Vienna Teng. :-) | ||||||||||
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Aug 05, 2010 - 16:04 To me, this is rather un-ordinary, and I love it. It certainly fits in with the mood Bill has created, of layers of powerful female vocals with varying flavors. Even Tori Amos's cover of a Nirvana song fits well in this set. ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||
