Every time I watch the news
I hear a symphony
Every time you cough up a noose
I hear a symphony
Late at night when the shots are like bells
I hear a symphony
When disillusioned is a fragrance that sells
I hear a symphony
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
In the subway of a slow dark pain
I hear a symphony
In the eyes of an old Polish woman on that train
I hear a symphony
In the echo of a muscle that fled
I hear a symphony
In the sheets of a big and haunted bed
I hear a symphony
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
From the seagulls at the garbage dump
I hear a symphony
At the Ritz Carlton sanitarium
I hear a symphony
In the bunting of corruption and fate
I hear a symphony
In a language that shows your age
I hear a symphony
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
In the sparkle of a young girl's eye
In the exclusive footage of a suicide
In the ambition of astronauts
In this Eden of tinsel and rot
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
I hear a symphony
Every time you cough up a noose
I hear a symphony
Late at night when the shots are like bells
I hear a symphony
When disillusioned is a fragrance that sells
I hear a symphony
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
In the subway of a slow dark pain
I hear a symphony
In the eyes of an old Polish woman on that train
I hear a symphony
In the echo of a muscle that fled
I hear a symphony
In the sheets of a big and haunted bed
I hear a symphony
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
From the seagulls at the garbage dump
I hear a symphony
At the Ritz Carlton sanitarium
I hear a symphony
In the bunting of corruption and fate
I hear a symphony
In a language that shows your age
I hear a symphony
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone
In the sparkle of a young girl's eye
In the exclusive footage of a suicide
In the ambition of astronauts
In this Eden of tinsel and rot
You are not alone
You are not alone
I swear this burden is not your own
You are not alone

And named him Steve Earle. What the hell, it's all good in my opinion.
Did Tom Waits and Dylan have a love child?
First sounded to me like a light version of Tom Waits, then like Knopfler having a cold.
But it's cool, I like it
bored , too american ..
OK, if you say so. I feel alone though. Must be my imagination...
Sounds like Michael Penn.
8.
I really like the sentiment behind the song.
Oh, and since this song seems to have inspired a round of the "this reminds me of..." game, I'll say that the combination of raggedy voice and sweet intention for me = Tom Waits.

Amen brotha, preach on! Man, we're all spoiled. RP is easily one of the most listenable music streams around. Repetion builds rythym. Acknowledge, move on.

I feel your pain. Hearing the same sequence of songs after just 29 days is pure torture. No wonder you felt the need to tell everyone about it.
But have you noticed that every time you play a CD it plays the same damn set list? What's up with that? Where's the creativity?
& then there's that OTHER radio

i hear Lou Reed/Bob Dylan at the same time.
Sounds very Steve Earle-esque to me...which is a good thing in my book.

Really like this guy's stuff. "May Day" is an excellent album (pretty downbeat stuff overall, but a great collection of songs, and Matthew's got an interesting voice)

Sometimes I wonder about the originality of the programming. On Feb 16, the same three artists played in the same order -- Kinks, Matthew Ryan and Josh Ritter -- as were played on 1/18.
ANYBODY IN THE STUDIO?? or is it RoboDJ running a the same programmed list?

I can't hear "I hear a symphony"; all I hear of lyrics is the phrase "You are not alone" over and over. But I know it's not the Kinks or Josh Ritter, which bracket this piece. Somebody, please clear me up?
