Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me

They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
In love, love, love

And everyday
I am learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels

And leaving without them

And leaving without them

Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I'm ready
As long as you're with me

Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love

Interesting. Tricksy. It doesn't grab my ears at first but it might grow on me. Kudos to the band for being different. The XX refers to the female chromosome, I'm guessing. Or maybe it's weak cider...

 
As weak as p*#s, I'd say.  Leaves me feeling nothing but windy.
bloody awful!!!  
Jeez, shoot me now. She doesn't sound like she's in love but in mourning. 
 
this song is as painful, tedious and boring as the obsession she is talking about....
I watched these guys play at Lollapalooza . . . for about 20 minutes . . . and I have to say it was the low point of the weekend.

Not my cup of tea on record, and decidedly uninteresting live. 
 
good effort.
segue from Zero 7 - In the Waiting Line to this.  Then in to The Amzing Rhythym Aces?  Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This song is SO ANNOYING.

In 2014 they play 45-people venues. Take any bets!

They are simply bad (as musicians especially).

They had this one ear-catcher song - OK, but the rest?

BORING-boring-boring!


ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE INDEED!

It's a one-hit wonder - totally overrated band.

LIVE TERRIBLE! AMATEURS!!


Horribly annoying

This song is an exercise in "less is more" minimalism— but for this song, less is definitely less...  yuck...
Too much hype, overrated band.

Whoa! 13 plays in the last 30 days... no wonder I'm over the XX already...

From Leonard Cohen to this? Erf. {#Snooty}
Stay thirsty my friends.
not a bad song but the ending seemed a bit annoying today, though that might have more to do with work also being annoying today.

Heard this on rotation too many times now. Truth be told I don't think this song's that great to begin with. IMHO The XX are overhyped.


BORING..

With "BIG TYPE". {#Wink}
These guys push sparse to the limit. Kudos to the XX and to RP for playing them.

Nice change! Interesting. Different.

The XX is back!!
Fantastic song, hope to hear it again! (I'll keep listening) This kind of song is exactly why I love Radio Paradise, so much great music I could never find all on my own.
