I brought you something close to me
And left for something new
See through your head
You haunt my dreams
There's nothing to do but believe
Just believe
Just breathe

Another day
Just believe
Another day
Just breathe
Another day
Just believe
Another day
Just breathe

I'm used to it by now
Another day
Just believe
Just breathe
Just believe
Just breathe

Lying in my bed
Another day
Staring at the ceiling

Just breathe
Another day

Another day
Just believe
Another day
I'm used to it by now

Another day
So hard to breathe
Another day
Not so hard to believe
Another day
Another day

Used for some commercial that aired in Croatia, some cosmetics hm?


Car commercial here
Some songs explode into your life  and it’s love at first listen. This however has gone from being ‘a quite like’ to an ‘adore’ with more listening, making me wonder if 8 rating is high enough?
Suddenly, the urge to go to the mall
Oh my goodness, I haven't heard this song in ages. I have always LOVED it. Thank you, RP.

The vocalist is Angela McCluskey, you've likely heard her on many things over the years.

Sounds like that was the after-after-after party to me!  Still....great memories (intact?) are hard to make in those "early" hours, eh?  Long Live RP!!

This hasn't been played in over 7 years?  Pretty cool - sounds more like something I'd hear on Groove Salad.

Yep, gracefully done.

The whole album is interesting... with sound bytes interspersed in it from a documentary on Einstein's brain.  Love Angela McCluskey's vocals, and they are even better on Yesterday is a Lie.  The way they open it is very much the way Pearl Jam opens Black... they go lo-fi, meant to sound like its a torch-song out of an old black and white movie... and then it kicks in full stereo.  Cheap trick, but it works for me every time ;)
 


I find this quite an upbeat track. I have it on a playlist of songs to ride my bicycle with and it's just right for that. Light, airy and warm sounding. Ace!
I have 4 CDs by this band and I love them all.

Vive la France! {#Daisy}

 

A solid 7 8 in my ears...

Quite likable, at the very least.

 
the band name fits it pretty well too.
for what it is, it hits the nail on the head.  I had to move it up to an 8 for being good telepopmusik

I like this song. I like the technotrance aspects of it, and I actually do need somebody to remind to just breathe once in a while. Otherwise I get all angsty and out of sorts.

Should be called Telepopmuzak.
too close to disco for comfort.....I can get my computer to sing this song - I use the Ethel voice
Is this the song that pioneered the stressing of the importance of breathing?  So many followers.
I feel like I'm in a car commercial!  I think it is a luxury model.{#Motor}
Bring it on!!!!!   Top sound for late night groovin...
really nice.  moody but not broody. 
Great segue from Witchcraft... I could get lost in this. Serve chilled with wine and friends.
Trance
I've always wondered who made the track of the visa spot ;)
Annoying to say the least, another day, just let it stop, another day, just let me be (without this noise).
major headache music. This belongs on another station.

At the risk of being a pedant, "groß" means big, not great - at least in all the dialects I know. "großartig" means great. Actually kids moreoften say "fett" these days when they think something is cool. Kind of wierd, but beats the "affengeil" of old.
Overplayed. And for good reason. It's a nice, light ditty.
I've always wondered who did this track...

Agree with Steeler and Jack_Jefferson. Is this "shoegazer" subgenre?
i think this would have been called "trance" at some point in time. "shoegazer" isn't even electronica.

so's yer mama
For some reason this song (and the rest of this set for that matter) reminds me of typical Sunday night radio for many stations in America. Lots of long new age dance tracks since they can't sell advertising and don't want to pay a DJ. Thinking back though, maybe the reason I generally don't like sets like this is because they happen on Sunday night, before Monday morning and school or work.

Relaxing tune.
Same here! All of the music I buy on itunes (and it's a lot...) comes from stuff I like on Radio Paradise. They are usually all bands that I would never have had a chance to hear otherwise, or new bands that I probably wouldn't buy a full album. Cheers to Radio Paradise for putting great stuff out there.

Regarding the "royalty rates for Internet radio" This song played on RP made me buy the record (CD) and then buy their next album when it came. I wouldn't have came across that group if it wasn't for RP. I like that Telepopmusik doesnt sample others musik; they write jazzy tunes, record them in Bulgaria, edit, cut and paste samples and finish some great songs at home (France).
Monotonous.

...and so what? It's still a nice and hypnotic track. Where's the chorus?? I don't necessarily need a chorus to enjoy a song. A too narrow definition of music for my taste...
Just a general accolade. No matter who plays music for me, invariably their musical footprint comes thru and I get a glimpse into what they like and don't like. Not so with Bill here at RP. Still befuddles me. To go from Telepopmusik to Julie Miller in 3 songs completely upsets my detective sense. Is he real?
I feel like doing some E, getting some glow sticks, going to a lame club, and just DANCING!

Great for work, unless you need to call the client. I guess they will have to wait until the song is over.

Ya know, I hardly ever listen to lyrics, being more into the melody being played and the stylings of the vocalist. (I know, I am missing half the production in some people's eyes.) And though I obviously heard "just breathe" it never really hit me how those two words could be applied to every day life. Good call Helchat! Thanks for pointing that out!

I'm digging this... glad I've never seen the commercial.

This song is okay, kind of cheesy. Luckily, I avoided the car ad overkill. I like the lyrics because it's a good reminder of what to do when two jobs and school and the rest of life start to overwhelm you: just breathe!

Seriously you guys, watch less TV! Maybe read a book or something.
Is this song really worth 73 (well, now 74) comments?
Must . . . resist . . . sudden . . . compulsion . . . to buy . . . Mitsubishi . . . SUV! Like the song, though.

Too bad, that. I thought I'd get sick of it too, but the Mitsu commercials subsided. Now it's just good chillout material. Reeee-laxing....

Obviously I didn't mean it quite that way, but it WAS what I said. What I had in mind was more along the lines of: My day would be lightened if not for this load of crap.

So is it me or is Mitsubishi becoming the official launch vehicle of new downtempo artists? I like this song for now but I suspect I'll grow tired of it after seeing that commercial 1874 more times.

I liked this song. My friend has the album, which is all over the map in terms of musical direction. There is another song that starts off as Billy Holiday-esque old-fashioned then sweeps into a lush contemporary sound. quite nice. Lots of silly rap on the album too.

Forget TV. With excellent programming from public radio organisations like NPR and PRI, and of course RP for music, there's no time for telly anyway.

I thought this was Lamb at first. Good stuff!
I find this very dull, especially after the Ozrics & Massive Attack, who know how to do this type of music way better.

Sorry, can\'t go there. Very forgettable
I still like this. Don\'t just listen as background. Good stuff happening here. Sounds great in this great set of music. Way to go, Bill.
\"overplayed\" just about everywhere. also, there\'s no other good tune on the album.
You play this too often
Just the type of music you need with your first cup of coffee when the sun just rises out of the Øresund. Don\'t worry guys, I\'ll send it your way- the sun that is ;)
what a chill groove! I dig the rain box effect on the vocals also. Perhaps a little over-extended, if they cut it short it would make me want more.

i liked where you were going with your description/rave...but the imagery turned scary when you got to travolta and snfever. ok ...now back to the good vibe of this song ...pushing 1978 movie image out of head...better....what were you saying about mescaline... ;)

I just want to ride in one with fashionable people and smile a lot. :D On second thought - NO. I'll just listen to the music. This is enjoyably hypnotic.

I bought this album and it was a BIG surprise. The other songs was some other \"blip blop\"-songs, nice rap music, a few 40\'s-easy lstenings and some noises. I never thought I would be listening to rap music but the frogs (frenchmen) Telepopmusik know how to do it rihght.
Don\'t yet know why, but I like this song. Even hearing it overplayed in the Mitsubishi commercials hasn\'t ruined the song for me (yet).
what Billie might sound like today. dot

It\'s quite effective...and yes, i DO listen ;)

I like this song okay. Just don\'t go out and buy an Eclipse. I made that mistake back in 1994 or so and it was the WORST car I ever bought!
