Holy girl
Don't get up
For running

Stay with me
I feel sad
When you run

Sands of time
Are lying
On my chest

Stay in bed
I feel sad
When you run

Stay like this
On the hills
Of my chest

Don't wake up
I feel strange
When you go

Stop the night
Hold me tight
Holy girl

Don't stand up
I feel strange
When you go

This song seems to really divide people. Either you love it or you hate it. Myself, I belong to the former, but I just can't listen to the song anymore without thinking about... rah wrote:

I kept restarting my RadioParadise stream about 5 times when I came in this morning and this was playing. Then I realized, no, this is the way this song is supposed to sound. Yuk.

Forget the stop button... If I had a repeat button I would use it on this song! Quite unique and pleasing to my ears!

If sounding (sort of!) contemporary is their main criterion, than they've succeeded Apart from the 10CC (I'm Not in Love) choir, that is.

Stop button happens on this one for me, too. I guess that's our prerogative, huh?
Posted 19 years ago by yellowdog    [ Reply ]
There are few songs on RP that cause me to hit the stop button. This is one of them.

Being from the Ozark Mountains, I wouldn't expect you to have good taste in music. Then again, I live in the Ozark Mountains, I consider my self an oddity because I DO have good taste in music.

I like Air. Their track on the Lost in Translation soundtrack is great, as is this one. But I had the opportunity to see Dance Preljocaj (a highly-regarded modern ballet troupe from France) recently in Brooklyn, performing a new piece with Air contributing the music. Alas, it was not very good. Parts of the dance were good, and the use of props was often great, but it didn't tell a consistent or compelling story. Most surprisingly, Air's music was, by and large, boring. It was minimalistic without being surprising. The parts I most enjoyed were when they stole the track from Lost and Translation and incorporated it into the music for the dance. I hope that their future multi-media collaborations and dance collaborations are more... dynamic...

I can appreciate differing viewpoints and tastes in music, even if they do not agree with my own, but this is the ONLY song I have ever heard on RP that has forced me to beat a hasty retreat back into my own music collection. The amalgamation of creepiness and overall sucktitude proves a deadly combination.

OK, so this song really sucks. It's like there's a skip in the record and it keeps getting stuck.... not to mention, it's just creepy.

Good catch. Would also love to hear the original. This album, btw, is among my very favorite RP turn-ons.

i was just saying that i agree with him when he said he had enough of this song. i wasnt calling him stupid you big baby. lol. who are you, the polite police? sorry mr. sensitive but try not to mistake my comments as offensive. he's a big boy, if it hurt his feelings, im sure he would have said so. now go play nicely with the other kids.

totally. many people have directed this sentiment toward me for no good reason at all. all i can say about it is that i'm sorry they feel that way, and move on with my life. NEWSFLASH - musical taste has NOTHING to do with intelligence! learn to separate the two! until then, cram it with walnuts!

I use Windows98 at work. When the coumputer locks up the music often gets stuck in a 2-3 second endless loop. I really thought my computer locked up during the song.

Or in an internet cafe in China at the end of the day (feeling a bit homesick). I like it. Interesting stereo effects with the chimes.

Eurotrash? Oh come on. Such bigoted namecalling is uncalled for. :( I might not like each and every style of american music, but I still think there is more uniting than dividing us across the proverbial pond, "funny" accents or not.

I can usually bear anything on RP, but not this. I really can't understand how this even made anything over a 1. I mean, I'm pretty open minded, and there's a lot of stuff I don't like that I can understand that other people might love - to each's own. But this... this... OMG How can anyone like this? Sorry - nothing personal if you do like it, I intentionally didn't read any of the other comments so I'm not attacking anyone directly or on purpose. If you don't like this song, and you haven't already rated it, for the love of all things pure and descent, rate it!!! I can't believe how long this has been on here. Ask me how I really feel....

Not Air's best, as nothing compares to the stuff on Premiers Symptomes and Moon Safari, but this song is still ok-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k...

If only it were half as good as 10cc's classic. This is one of the worst Air tracks I've ever heard. The military probably use it for extracting confessions instead of white noise.

There's definitely a big "i'm not in love" fromm 10 CC influence in this song. Sounds like it got sampled to me.

For all practical purposes, this song should annoy the hell out of me. Don't know why, but it doesn't. In fact, I'm getting to like it more each time I hear it. Maybe it's time to trade in my brain on one that works? Nah, I'll just live with the fact that my tastes are unpredictable, even to myself.
