While you were building your empires
I was still sleeping
I was still sleeping
While you were setting your woods afire
I was still dreaming
I was still dreaming

Now I will unsettle the ground beneath you
Send my waters ashore
Creep into your bed
Find you in every corner

While you argue it over
I am not waiting
I am not waiting
While you retreat to your comforts
I am not fading
I am not fading

I've done this many times before you
Old Shanghai, New Orleans
Amsterdam and Mumbai
Strange new creatures
To scavenge your pores
Oh I've done this many times before you
Ashen sky, lightning storms
Deltas to desert plains
Wartime on every border

I've done this many times before you
Watched the pattern take form
Children your time is done
If you say it's done together

No thanks.  When you play only the most popular music, that basically turns the radio station into Jack FM.

I think jack fm is just another shitty format, and prefer stations like this which play stuff off the beaten path

This needs to be played either before or after Sparks' "Never turn your back on Mother Earth"

She once said that her label calls the group "jazz" for their German bookings (she found that amusing), so perhaps the segue is closer than you think.

Certain string elements of this song remind me of the soaring grandeur of The Who's "Love Reign O'er Me". However, I'm NOT suggesting Vienna Teng and The Who are in any way alike :)

That distribution defines a troll? Really? That probably resembles *my* distribution. I tend to only vote songs I like - meaning 7~9 and the very rare 10, AND the songs I really, really hate meaning a 1. Mediocre tunes don't inspire me to go to the computer to vote - or even to go to the computer to discover who the artist might be...

 
It's not the distribution of the ratings, in this case - it's the comment. Gleefully, remorselessly hateful - with profanity.  I'm sure my rating distribution is nothing to write home about, but at least I don't go through a particular artist's playlist and methodically post the same hateful, juvenile slam on every single song by that artist.  To me, that equals "troll."

It wasn't the rating. It was the TONE.  I"ve given my share of "1" ratings (most of which I don't post), and everyone is entitled to their opinions. Using abusive language to state an opinion is, in my opinion, TROLL.  sirdroseph, I have no excuse for you, but I love you anyway. {#Lol}

Sounds a bit like Portishead in parts. In case that's not obvious, that's a Good Thing(tm). I don't think she's trying to sound like Portishead, my brain just has to compare it to a song I've heard before. Maybe if I hear this enough, I'll say Portishead sounds like Vienna Teng. :-)

To me, this is rather un-ordinary, and I love it.  It certainly fits in with the mood Bill has created, of layers of powerful female vocals with varying flavors.  Even Tori Amos's cover of a Nirvana song fits well in this set.  {#Meditate}{#Sunny}

Thank you for playing this Bill.  Vienna Teng plays such beautiful music, and after watching her live performances on YouTube I've been wanting to go to one of her shows for a long time now.  For some reason, hearing this song today reminded me of that.  So I looked up her tour dates, and what do you know?  She'll be in my area 2 weeks from today!!

Neat story. I read somewhere that VT is a classically trained concert pianist, and has been playing since the age of 5.

 
Right you are (from AMG): "A pianist since the age of five, Teng took piano lessons before moving on to improvisation." (What a terrible sentence, yes?) At any rate, the full magilla is here: https://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&opt1=1&uid=SEARCH&sql=Vienna|Teng
