Love my name
Love left dry
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me

Soon comes rain
Dry your eyes
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Skeleton

I love how they've always been on another level. That's admirable as can be. I enjoy meeting them there often.

Was the link between the last song (Cave by Future Islands)  and this the album covers?

No. Just no. This band has talent. Sigur Ros is just nasal cat whining in Icelandic.


Which came first, the skeleton or the sigur?

Who likes the sort of music played on rp´s main mix, might want to check out the BBC show: Later... with Jools holland.

Speaking of Karen O, have you guys heard the cover she did with Willie Nelson of Under Pressure?  I'm really loving it.


Thank you for THAT!  What an interesting, quirky, and amazing cover.

This is a phenomenal album. One of the best of the  noughties. LOVE Karen O's voice.

More specifically, she is singing about being a skeleton and being dead and buried.

And this is how you break an egg, with your pinky up. Nice cover art. And quite likeable odd song.

Something of an Edinburgh Tattoo pipe band vibe about this one (UK listeners will know what I am saying).

Sorry it took so long to reply. It's the way young people reply "Yeah Yeah Yeah" in a conversation. Since I'm a bit older it sounds dismissive and rude to me.

I'm afraid that one shouldn't take up singing if one can't sing, Neil Young excepted. (And then, as if by magic, Neil Young's Powderfinger starts to play. I do love this station.)

  I work hard down at the Positronic& Mumsford, keeping mills running.

Except they never do. Which is a shame, because it would liven up a tune that promises a lot and gives you nothing and then just buggers off without saying goodbye.

Chill, MojoJojo - he can rate stuff however he wants, as can you.  I've rated a few songs as sucko-barfo. Doesn't mean I hate every song. I've rated a lot of songs 10. Doesn't mean I love every song.

And addicted2music:  {#High-five}

Besides, what's wrong with finding the good in every single song?  There are places where people don't even HEAR music.  Be grateful we have ears.  Or, as the late Warren Zevon said, "Enjoy every sandwich." {#Sunny}

You made me look — they're from New York.  (I was thinking this song kind of had a Fever Ray vibe).

Despite the overwhelming presence of Romeotuma's opinion on this page, I think this song is fairly mediocre musically and painfully annoying vocally. Ugh. Where's Bjork when you need her. {#Rolleyes}

This title needs to return to the section reviewing, for at least six months, to see what your panel of "expert and very selective reviewers" , 30 or 40 members, has to say or vote on these performances...

The music is good. Vocals, not so much.
Posted 14 years ago by TimeWaster    [ Reply ]

Just crazy for sick minds. This song reveals the moment of decay across the world of music, like all Ga Ga that roam around. Diversity  and ecletic does not explain everything, while, in parallel, RP is "deaf ears" to the music of renowned quality, but from other sources than the American "fashion" market. This is the drug of today. Bahhhh. RP, do not go there ......

For some reason I was half expecting her to break into the original version of 99 Luftballons.  I think it's her voice.

2 minutes in, but so far it hasn't gone anywhere...

I like the minimilist qualities of this track, a moody trance inducer.  This whole album has a great restrained feeling, in contrast to some of YYY's more aggressive work.
