I thought I'd like to tame
and when I saw my reflection
and I spoke its name
it made me sweat
it makes me sweat
When you hear this confession
don't give it no pity
it”s just a song to add
to the tower of plenty
inside there’s a room
with a view of the alley
and when you close the curtains
you hear the heat pipes coughing in your head
let me show you how to love
what it is to be the fool
when you find yourself a spotlight
on the outside of cool
a punch in the face
is sometimes a blessing
highjacked by a moment
you should've been expecting
it makes you sweat
it made me sweat
how the voice of a shadow
has been misunderstood
without religion
the cross is just wood
so shed a little light
on what it means to good
like the soul of a prayer
that finds the heart of your neighbourhood
let me show you how to love
what it is to be the fool
when you're standing in the deadlight
and you're polishing your shoes
let me show you how to love
what it is to be the fool
when you find yourself a spotlight
on the outside of cool
let me show you…
I'm going to write this without reading other comments first. The song caught my attention in the first few notes and made me stop what I was doing. As the song progressed, I said aloud "wow, this song keeps getting better and better" to nobody in particular.
Totally agree, and the PtII version is even better, I think. This was the track that started my journey with RP.
Anyone else get a Noir Desir / 'Le vent nous portera' vibe from this one? I like it!
I'm not sure of what you just said, but I like it too! Thanx RP!
If it's ain't cool, it's at least kool. Starting this at an 8.
acually, it's kewl.

Nice. Have the same feeling.
i like they say; “they write pop songs for shy dancers”

Exactly I alsohad to stop and readthe lyrics. Then I looked at the comments . Despite my busy schedule I had to listen and write a compliment . Refreshing music
3rd 1st comment for me today.
Apparently my 3rd 1st comment in a day gets the thumbs down from some other listeners.
Sine the lyrics in this song mention "poiishing your shoes"
Does that put it in the shoe gazing genre?
Yup the lyrics speak to my youth.
Nice! ...I gave it a 10. ...normally not my type of music. ...if it didn't have the drums, it would have been a 6-7. ...nicely recorded. ...right now I am listening in FLAC, with 40yr old Sennheiser HD 414 headphones, Schiit Modi 3 DAC & Schiit Magni 3+ amp.

Something kinda funny about shit talking the Schiit stack ;-)
I am just now starting the cash draining hobby for home audio, got the decent desktop 2.1 channel setup and now looking for a slightly more than decent head-fi setup. Gear suggestions welcomed!
Long Live RP and expensive hobbies!!
Linn make some great streaming sound gear. The new stuff is really expensive because they've put the AMP inside the speakers. I have some older gear and run active speakers. Audiogon is a decent source for used equipment to keep the costs in line.

Strange, for some reason I don't see a comment.
Less is more!
I had this at a 7.
Now, it's an 8.
Same here
...but it's so good. And it just keeps getting better. Help, I can't stop listening to it!

Sort comments by the oldest.
Not many songs I can think of that mention shoe shining in the lyrics.
Don't suppose that puts it in the genre of "shoegazing"?
Klingt doch ganz gut.
I agree. ...nice drums.
Now, it's an 8.
BillG: lets make it happen 2020.radioparaidse.com
I hear ya..going +2 to 8 on my 2nd hearing. Has a modern Paul Simon sound going. Long Live RP!!
Kliffs write recycled tone poems for the perpetually bemused, and pop songs for shy dancers
Being a shy dancer, I can appreciate this.
