High or low, stop or go
Heaven up and Hell below
War on terror, face the mirror
Will they ever see the mirror
Science fiction, space vacation
Faith or fear's a new creation
Faith or fear's a new creation
Disillusion, no confusion
Clear your head of mind pollution
Levitation, meditation
Faith or fear's a new creation
Guns are killing and TV's thrillin'
The mind is weak an' flesh is willin'
You buy'em work again, sell your brother
Why do we enslave each other
Armageddon is where we're headin'
If the walk the path we're treadin' on
Faith or fear's a new creation
You are my love an' I'll always be
By your side when-ev-er you need me
I'll be strong, give my best for you
Cause lovin' is what I'm born to do
You are my love an' I'll always be
By your side when-ev-er you need me
I'll be strong, give my best for you
Cause lovin' is what we're born to do
Let this sitteling of mine
Flower sows freedom
Carries our world
In a universe
Of folding we untie
Throughout space
Babylonia says come on give us up
Yes an' I lie when the moon is shinin' brights
The world can't find your peace of mind
Livin' in a man-made space of time
Nine to five, Creation is a lie
Takin' a walk within a Sunday
On city streets and city light
Never voted things to be no vote
Cause life shows weight for wise
Chair follows and thus
I use the ever-growing
Cause ever-growing is the way one must
You will see
Infinite possibilities, born within
Infinite possibilities, born within
You are my love an' I'll always be
By your side when-ev-er you need me
I'll be strong, give my best for you
Cause lovin' is what I'm born to do
You are my love an' I'll always be

Difficult finding his records, unfortunately, most are out of print it appears. Would be good to see a label dust them off!
Excellent!! Thanx RP! 
Bajka's voice and flow makes my heart flutter.
Geeze, all this time I never knew this was Mitch Gerber. I always thought it was that other group (who's name escapes me at the moment) that Bajka sings with.
Whoah, thought 100% this was Morcheeba!
Such a great song. I really like this singer too.
idk about 7.2 for this song, the chorus and intonation gets kind of repetitive. Bajka's performance was way better in "The Hop", now that one really grooves.
Lustrous vocal!
Wonderful Tune!
Wonderful Tune!
Can't believe no-one's mentioned "Uptown Top Ranking"!

Cool track, although I think I prefer the Tales of the Wind album. For people who were kinda put off by Bajka's voice but liked the music, I suggest you try this one :)
intriguing voice, great base line
very unpleasant nasal tone.

Thought this was Macy Grey until I looked at the computer. Nope, wrong again. I'm liking it though.
What a remarkable voice...
First time I hear this, and I immediately was caught by the voice: cool, wildcat-like, sexy.
The repulsion expressed by many makes me feel like we didn't listen to the same song...
I'm not big on Mich Gerber, but this works for me - obviously thanks to Bajka's contribution.
Love the 'Cartmann with ski goggles' interpretation of the cover

Are these people actually dissing Bajka's voice? Oh my god. She sends tingles up and down my spine. Sexy, sexy, sexy.
And yes, the cover looks like Cartman in ski goggles.

I'm surprised at the comments. I am totally digging her voice!

I knew I recognised the voice. She has also appeared on a number of Bonobo tracks. Which doesn't surprise me as this couldn't get much closer to being exactly the same as his music. (Not that that's a bad thing.)

You make a lot of good posts. This is not one of them. What exactly is “commercial” music anyway? Please do NOT answer that – it’s a rhetorical question and I have heard enough variations on the reply to make me what to inject a liter of Mogodan in my arse. The standard, high-brow, pseudo-intellectual, drivel of a retort always brings to my mind the image of Theodor Adorno making love with a sofa. Many songs take numerous listens before they have an impact. Bill is a master of playing the right songs. I don’t want a playlist decided by committee, or a random or programized shuffle. Bloody Foh’kinell righty O. And, as always you are EXAGERATING.

Now commercial radio on the other hand is not decided by a committee, unless that committee is the record label board room.

Another perfectly good song ruined by too much repitition. Not good RP, you can play all the good songs you want, but if you play them more than once daily you might as well just go ahead and play Katy Perry or commercials or something. Too much repitition is a Clear channel move just as too many commercials or commercially crappy music.

That bass sounds oh so good. Would love to hear him and Tony Levin trading licks on stage with some kind of world beat band behind them, that would be something.

If I could "Sucko Barfo" again, I would. Make it STOP! Sounds like she is sucko barfing. As bad as Natalie Merchant. Awful voice. Ick.

I agree totally. Just mesmerising. She's on a couple of the Bonobo tracks - and tours live with him (and the rest). Beautiful stuff.
From the very first time I heard this song I was in love. There's just something about her voice & the instrumental together that it just NEVER gets old. I found some other works of Bajka's and they're equally as good. Every time I listen to her is like getting the whole experience of sitting in a smoky, dimly lit jaz pub with small round tables and a nice glass of wine until the wee hours of the morning.

That'll be a 'null set' then, will it, our Bill? ;)
Essentially, a song is overplayed if a punter doesn't like it, underplayed is s/he does. The subjective is all. Maybe individual singers/bands get more than one song a day, but I don't remember the same song every being played twice in a day.
I strongly value the variety and range of songs on this station, yea even with the sucko-barfos, and I know that I'm far from the only one. Viva RP! :)

Because you had to pay by the character, heavy users of the technology had all kinds of short forms and substitute words that make texting on phones look like Shakespeare.
The use of this kind of language came about when phone texting was done using a phone's numeric keypad. So the use of the letter "R" which replicates the sound of the word "are" (2 additional characters to type) actually made good sense. Those days are mostly gone but there are still folks who use it for brevity, mostly kids. Relax.

The exhange immediately below reminds me that there are three subjects of conversation that typically lead nowhere: religion, taxes, and opinions of the opposite sex.

There's nothing intelligent about using the letter R as a word.

Okay - This is really nice stuff. Gerber is fresh to tired ears. As far a Bajka goes - I love it. Some of you remorse about affectation. Okay - Listen to Jim Nabors then. Everyone sings with some degree of affectation, whether they know it or not. Mick Jagger, Nancy Giffith, .......etc. In some cases it can be overdone perhaps but it remains music and can still be good for the ears. John Fogerty is an American Classic and there are quite a few songs where I have no clue as to what the heck he is saying. My ears love it nonetheless. I haven't even begun to speak of music in other languages that people who only speak one langauge listen to anyway.
RP is great!

I like everything she sings on—whether this, Bonobo or Citizen Kane. Very distinctive voice.

You're comparing the glacial change in English language over the last seven hundred years with this pompous, elitist, juvenile affectation? Chaucer and Shakespeare would've told B4real to knock off the idiotspeak (unless in character as a village idiot). Wise up to the dumb down.
Nice production values on this song, by the way.

I must disagree. The purpose of language is to communicate. I understood B4real's message and thus he/she communicated it effectively — and in human if you put it that way, as I'm a human and I'm assuming B4real is too. Language is fluid and changes. Try reading Chaucer or even Shakespeare and I'll bet you have a much easier time figuring out what B4real is saying. I'm not talking about the quality of the thoughts conveyed, but the actual conveyance thereof.

I must disagree. The purpose of language is to communicate. I understood B4real's message and thus he/she communicated it effectively — and in human if you put it that way, as I'm a human and I'm assuming B4real is too. Language is fluid and changes. Try reading Chaucer or even Shakespeare and I'll bet you have a much easier time figuring out what B4real is saying. I'm not talking about the quality of the thoughts conveyed, but the actual conveyance thereof.

She sounds amazingly like Amy Winehouse to me.

Ali G listens to Radio Paradise?
Bajka's voice has reminded me of Ertha Kitt, but a bit more melodic, I guess.
Now that's what I call soul.
Love the Billy Holiday inflections ... 
Sorry Mich, instead it was Joe Walsh playing Rocky Mountain Way.
Love this song — and was sooooo happy to hear it played on the 2 hour "mid-season premiere" of Flash Forward a couple weeks ago. They deserve to get lots of air-play.

There's nothing intelligent about using the letter R as a word.

Difficult finding his records, unfortunately, most are out of print it appears. Would be good to see a label dust them off!
