Could be quite good with out the annoying auto tune that absolutely ruins it for me.
 
Don't know which is more annoying: autotune used to fix off-pitch singing or as an effect. Both, as think about it.

Where can we get this version then? Bill? Uploader? Anyone?
When you guys want to know about a song, read ALL of the previous posts. I am the uploader of this, and I posted in reply to someone else, letting them know that this version was on the PROMO ONLY release of the second album, but if I'm not mistaken, it is this same version that is on the first album.

Good to know... especially since this album seems pretty pricey...

sounds like Jane Weidlin, does it not? Therefore, I like it.

It's growing on me. Didn't think it would, but it is. Like ivy. (No, not like Ivy -- they've gotta get OUT of the city...) Now what would be a great segue here would be to go into "Modern Times" by Al Stewart. Trust me! It grows on all the walls like ivy... :

It looks like the song is called Sometimes (We Live In Cities) or RP link...

Another worthy of turning up! Nice. :nodhead: P.S. We live in Cities. Rainfalls on our windows. Sometimes...

blank = Rainfall? BTW, I purchased this through amazon.co.uk "used & new" section at a significantly lower price than the one offered here in the states. (~$12 vs. $41 - sorry RP :oops: )

Well, this possibly beats that Goldfrapp "Strict machine" tune as the track that impales itself on my cerebral cortex and will not leave. And now I know the lyrics, too, so they'll be running in a loop in my head until some time next month. Ahhhhhh!

after hearing this song again, i had to raise my rating. :-({|= apparently i am in the minority based on the average rating. had thoughts of buying the cd - then saw the price - ouch... #-o

I'm normaly indifferent to this genre. I like this though, makes me want to travel far away from the dreary view out of my office window.

I like this song. And looking at the Infinity plugin of my XMMS at the same time makes it kinda spacy. :propeller.gif:

I wish that "Steal My Sunshine" song used cool voice processing like this song :) Somehow this song reminds me of the early 80s and how I would have imagined music was going to sound in the future.

I'm disappointed in myself for liking this, but I really do.

can a song with a 4.9 rating be taken off the playlist? how does that work with low-rated songs? Do they stay on or can they be removed? :?:

Honeychild, I ain't no woman! And I think all of us who upload should say when we uploaded sumthin. I think it's interesting to know how long it has been available on RP. I wish Bill would add that to the song info page. When uploaded, by whom, and when first played, and how many time played so far. Plus, it lets those who like the song know who to contact if they have questions about it.

not bad.. reminds me of a group named "Add N to (x)" had only heard of them via Sputnik7.com .... while they sound similar, very differnt, as add N to x is x rated at the very least.

LHB's last album was pretty good. This is the first track I've heard from the newer album and I think it's kinda weak...but I should hear the whole album to make a real judgement.
If my memory is correct, this song was on their first album, the one you mentioned. But they included it again on the promo only release of the second album, but then they re-recorded it, (or maybe just remixed it) for the official release, and it sounds very different. But THIS is the version used on the first album as well, if I'm not mistaken.

It's catering to people like me, who love robot singers, and the feel of walking down the sidewalk of a city park on a sunny day....
