Running with the wolves.
It's time for us to go.
Left all our clothes.
With the car left by the road.

And we were running.
For a reason.
For the burning, in our veins.
And we were running.
For a reason.
We just need to get away.

Running with the wolves.
We're screaming at the stars.
Left all we own.
In a hole in our backyard.

And we were running.
For a reason.
Left our cubicles in little flaming piles.
And we were running.
For a reason.

I need to feel something different for just a little while.

I'm not coming home.
I'm staying with the wolves.
They can burn all my mail.
And disconnect my phone.

Tell my mom I'm sorry, sorry for leaving.
But I'm staying.

Now we're running to find meaning.
We're gone, and we're never coming back.

I saw Cloud Cult for the first at a park in Northern Virginia on Saturday.... although there was only an 11% chance of rain, a major storm blew in shortly before they were supposed to go on. So bummer, I didn't get to see a full concert. But instead we had an extremely special experience - they (six of them) did an impromptu completely unplugged set (no mics, no amps). It was so sweet and intimate.

I admire Cloud Cult and find them inventive....just don't like the way they sound. My loss, I guess

I never would have known about Cloud Cult if not for RP. Thanks, Bill!

I try to be open-minded, but Cloud Cult is not on my list. They are as inventive to me as roasted garlic ice cream is inventive...or maybe I just don't get it.

Respectfully, couldn't disagree more.  The sincerity in his voice 'makes' the song.

There is a fabulous live version of this song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzrb36NKI5Q

And this grows on me. Me likey, even if it's a tad overproduced and eccentric.

Is there a way to filter out user's comments from these forums, so you wouldn't have to read their drivel repeatedly? — like Photo- "Does Not Sound Like Slayer"John, who writes twice on average on every song from any artist that he obviously hates.  I mean, really, ok, you don't like Cloud Cult, we get it.

Nope. Just scroll on, it's not that hard. Even persistent trolls like Stingray can be scrolled past in a millisecond with the twitch of a finger.

I think this is a red herring argument.   If anything, it's the positive comment posters that fill up the boards to the point that it becomes a problem.   I do think seriously there is only one call for censorship on the Internet, that is for when someone is interfering with commentary in an actual physical sense.   For instance, someone filling a board with advertising.  Or, someone who is clearly suppressing other comments via some technical means, filling the entire board with the same post so as to place the real comments out of view.   I don't think we have at RP anyone who fits this category.

I think Bill must play this whenever I'm around. It's good that I like it: 8.

Horrible.

I hate this more than pretty much anything else. Every time this terrible excuse for a band gets played I shut down RP and log in to bitch about it.

Does not sound like Slayer.

A friend of mine gave me a burned copy of the FL Dark Side disk.  I wasn't impressed.  It was ok I guess, but the Flaming Lips need to stick with what they do best and Pink Floyd songs are not it.

To answer my own question...  Yes, it is very good if you like what you hear on RP.
