Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
Just your lips

My name on your lips
You're wearing my lungs
Drowned in oxygen
Now you've set the scene
High on intimacy
Drawing me a bath

I don't wanna know the way down
I don't wanna know the way down

Just your love
I just want it all
Just your shadow
Just your voice
I just want it all
And my soul
In my head, in my veins
In the way you give and take
In the way that you weigh
On my body, on my brain

Chemistry is wrecking a two, three time affair
There's no guarantees
Working through the seasons, pressed up against the ceiling
Pushing down on me

I don't wanna know the way down
I don't wanna know the way down

Just your love
I just want it all
Just your shadow
Just your voice
I just want it all
And my soul
In my head, in my veins
In the way you give and take
In the way that you weigh
On my body, on my brain

Just your neck
Just your eyes
Just your desire
Just your love and my soul
Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
I don't wanna know the way down

Really? I heard lots of subtle and atypical intricacies in the vocals.

Coldplay-ish for a brief moment at the beginning.

Those of us who recall how new groups like The Cars, Fountains of Wayne, and The Strokes sounded familiar at first listen know what this is: raw talent, manifested! I gotta say, with each listen, I feel more and more like this group is going to be a pretty big deal...

A new intro for me... yet another by B&R at RP. You guys are legend.

This borrows heavily from "Just (After Song of Songs)" by David Lang from the movie Youth!

Another notable track from the movie is Simple Song #3 sung by Sumi Jo!

If one of the members of this band quits, we'd have to refer to him or her as an "ex-XX."

If two of the three quit, making it a solo act, we'd have to start calling it "The X."

I wonder if they've ever considered a co-marketing arrangement with the makers of Dos Equis?

Not bad - I really like "Replica" from the new disc as well...Bill?

God damn it! I was working on a remix of this tune (Just by David Lang) for the last few months. I hate you Jamie!

With bands like this one and Younger Brother, it seems the Brits are putting out a lot of excellent electronica these days. I have noticed that at least in the songs that show up here, they have *taste*: they never use shrill sounds other electronica uses.
