I found these lyrics (the page said that the name of the song was either "As The Day Breaks" or "Snowflake"):

Save your breath
Save you promises
Be the death of you
Save your white rice newlywed I do's
I do's
See us glide
As much alike as snowflakes
On the ice
Drifting as the day breaks through

Save your strength
For the altitude
Ushers us to dream
People can't be everything
They seem to be
Not you
Not me

See us glide
As much alike as snowflakes
On the ice
Drifting as the day breaks through

Stole a wall
To have [grab a] smoke
And in the breath you drew
Must've know I was feelin' lonely too

See us glide
As much alike as snowflakes
On the ice
Drifting as the day breaks through

So you're saying you're not Pro Bono?

Uh-uh-uh-uh-boring. Nothing's happening here.

Nice. Sounds a little Depeche Modey, without the  trademark 'pffffft' sounding percussive element.

Bought this CD after I heard it on RP. Excellent piece of ambience.

That's what I came to say. Tangerine Phillips.

Carmen Rizzo has put out some good work. This album is one of the ones I listen to at night a lot. Thanks RP for opening this door for me.

So now it just says "censored"  Ahhh, good times.
 
Bill and God didn't like it {#Cheesygrin}

I just used Firefox to block the art work.

Nothing personal, y'understand.

This one caught my attention.

He was the engineer for Conjure 1?  No wonder I like it.

Nice pick Bill!

"The lost art of the idle moment". A very fitting album title in these days. Very good song too.

This explains why I'm drawn to this one. Not so much for Grant, but for that lead rhythm. Tasty, and well played. SoundsGoodToMe wrote:

I've noticed a glut of Bono comparisons on this website - basically any male singer who has a breathy quality in his voice gets the Bono treatment. I beg to differ: Grant Lee's voice in such a different context quite simply soars.
Sorry, definitely Bono 2. Reminds me of back in the day, when Simple Minds were also known as U3

Oooh. Nice transition from Depeche Mode's "John The Revelator"!

Grant Lee Phillips of Grant Lee Buffalo fame... Check out the Album Might Joe Moon. One of my top 10 albums from the 90s
