It don't matter when you turn
Gonna survive
You live and learn
I've been thinking about you, baby
By the light of dawn

A midnight blue, day and night
I've been missing you
I've been thinking about you, baby
Almost makes me crazy
Come and live with me

Either way, win or lose
When you're born into trouble
You live the blues
I've been thinking about you, baby
See it almost makes me crazy

Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'll give all that I have just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, I tried to make it clear
That you just don't believe that I'm sincere
I've been thinking about you, baby

Plans and schemes
Hopes and fears
Dreams that deny for all these years
I, I've been thinking about you, baby
Living with me, well

I've been thinking about you, baby
Makes me wanna

Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'll give all that I have just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, darling, tried to make it clear
Oh, but you just don't believe that I'm sincere
I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me, well
I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me

Those flowers look like some kind of semi-double peony to me. I'm hungry for artichokes too though.

I like this dudes voice...it brings to mind a beloved uncle of mine that is no longer with me here.  He'd sing just like this...really smooth.   I keep thinking about you Uncle

Wonderful artist, collected his 45's for years, revered on the UK rare soul scene. So glad he gained recognition, albeit belatedly .. Quality will always out!

I saw these at The Shed in London, early 90s ... amazing!!
and they inspired other UK artists

I like the groove, and the lyrics are thoughtful, but it's a bit of a bore. Not digging the over-driven post production applied to the vocals. Only a 5er for me.

Hearbreaking video. The actress went Method for it, IIRC. Their videos are often quite good, cinematic, and thought provoking.

I'm no expert but certainly not artichokes or roses. I'd guess hydrangeas. A beautiful spring flower trying to bloom behind, like, a massive attack?

Wikipedia:
Vocals were supplied by the acclaimed soul singer Terry Callier, who was 60 at the time the song was recorded. Callier was an American jazz, soul and folk guitarist singer-songwriter from Chicago, Illinois, who has won a UN Peace Award for his humanitarian work promoting peace through his songs.

Massive Attack produced some really fine work. This is not one of them. This sounds more like the rubbish Moby used to put out.

 
I think it's great and love Moby as well but what's funny is the next track to be played was Moby's All the Hurts We Made.

Lots of artists still release EPs, though it's more often artists who are not signed to major labels.  Sometimes they are are digital-only releases.

Uhhmm, I think that's because the previous song was a Madrugada tune, w/ Sievert on vocals/guitar.  Just sayin'.....

Perhaps, but he was already gone by that 2006.  These vocals are quite cool - Terry Callier could feel it.

It is from a SNL skit, with Mike Meyers,  called "Sprockets."  Mike Meyers played a German talk show host who would end each episode with, "You may touch my monkey," if he approved of the guest.  There was, of course, a monkey on a perch close by.  I loved it.  Here is the only clip I could find.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHZR9SA5pOg

I have to agree there...both versions, there's a slower one I think on an added disc that comes with the compilation, less produced, more emphasis on the vocals, which is quite pertinent here.
Posted 14 years ago by dyharenas    [ Reply ]
Is this originally a Massive Attack song?  I've heard the Twilight Singers do a live version of it...great tune.
