What you got goin' on
Behind those eyes closed, holdin' on
I don't want another day to break
Take our, steal our night away
Warm shadow
Warm shadow
Won't you cast yourself on me
What you got in store for me
Keep those eyes closed, next to me
I don't want another day to break
Take our, steal our night away
Warm shadow
Warm shadow
Won't you cast yourself on me
Warm shadow
Warm shadow
Won't you cast yourself on me
Won't you stop breakin' in
Red sky, red light, awakenin'
I don't want another day to break
Take our, steal our night away
Take our, steal our night away
Take our, steal our night away
Take our, steal our night away
Take our, steal our night away

Is a warm shadow anything like the cold shoulder?

The John Martyn vibes are very clearly worn on the sleeve here. Especially John's Inside Out era!

I was just thinking this song was about being a grilled cheese sandwich from the bread's perspective...

"Warm cheddar! Won't you cast yourself on me!"

I wonder who else heard the the guitar riff and thought this was going to be "Johnny Appleseed" by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros.

Took a while to find a way to approach Fink's work but I did.
I find it brilliant and a welcome addition to the Eclectic menu.

Sweeps one up in the rhythm and pacing, but may not stand repeated listenings. Good out of the gate though.

There are a lot of tunes that fit that scenario, especially stuff made during the psychedelic era of the late '60s.  Sometimes it worked, sometimes not so much.

Their triplet guitar style has always been extra-appealing for songs with this timed tape echo element added in

It's alright, but that's about it.
Sounds a little like a guy version of Adele.
If this is the best tune on the album, then I'm not that interested.

Sounds like the old "Dave Wheatjeans" parody they did on National Lampoon Radio Hour back in the mid-70s.

I like the rhythm; The syncopation in 6/8 makes kind of a polyrhythm.  Pretty nifty!

Edit: Not sure why I thought this was in 6/8 but still really nifty.
Edit2: Oh I see now, towards the end it sounds more like 6/8 than 4/4.

There actually are a few thing we Rpeeps collectively agree on---Bono is a wanker and musical judgments are subjective. Surprisingly, we don't have any people who post frequently that there exists a hierarchy of music.  Though we carp about hipsters a lot, actual hipster sightings are quite rare.

I  thought, "wow, this is a pretty compelling Dave Matthews song". Now I see I'm not the only one.

I heard when the Chrysler Prowler came out, the designers mentioned these cards as part of their inspiration.  I wonder what a set of these would run these days.  Had a lot of fun trading them with friends.

If you ever doubt how good this station is, just go listen to another for awhile.  As in all matters of taste, you cannot know good without first knowing bad.
