Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind
A satellite recalled your voice
Sent me round the world again
All the night you've dreamt away
Sent me round my heart again
One touch upon my lips
And all my thoughts are clear
I feel your smoky mist
Up to the stratosphere
Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind
Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind
( French Version )
Trop déprimée pour m'en tirer
Trop bien pour rien piger
J'ai deja connu cet état
Ailleurs plein d'autrefois
J'entends le soleil
Les nuages par les volets
Un million de pensées
Envahi mon esprit
Un satellite rappelait ta voix
orbite dans le monde pour toi
Tu as revé toute la nuit
En envie de mon coeur
Je t'effleures des levres et puis
Ca me donne les idées claires
Je sens ton suc se dissiper
Jusqu'a la stratosphere
Trop déprimée pour m'en tirer
Trop bien pour rien piger
J'ai deja connu cet état
Ailleurs plein d'autrefois
J'entends le soleil
Les nuages par les volets

Used to get Lebanese Blonde down in Frankfurt. Bubblegum Black is better but you get what you can...
yea New Jersey!
The Strawbs 'From the Witchwood' to follow the vibe started with Ocean of Mercy?
Nice follow after Sting - Fragile.

When I wanted to sell a sub-woofer I used this song to demo it when a potential buyer came to have a listen. It was a quick sale.
Genius.
Pam . . .
Just curious why the track info is showing the Garden State Soundtrack rather than the Thievery Corporation album? Are they different versions?
Have I really not ever commented on this song? It's my FAVE from the Garden State soundtrack! Languid, exotic, irresistible...
Nice grove to it. Cool percussion and smooth voice.

some songs you just keep on a more regular rotation. definitely one of them.
Fabulous. Love them. Do you play the French version lyrics as well? I am sure we'd love the feel of that just as much!

This song is SO over played! It's done, kaput, no mass...stop playing this song! There is too much music in the world for this song to be played over and over and over and over.....and over!

There's no difference in the two versions currently(*) on the RP playlists, but there are several album versions. These are the ones I know of
1. LB (French version) from Lebanese Blonde EP
2. LB (original version)* from Lebanese Blonde EP (also the original single)
3. LB (instrumental version) from Lebanese Blonde EP
4. LB from The Mirror Conspiracy (same as 2)
5. LB from It Takes A Thief (compilation album) (same as 2)
The one on the Garden State movie soundtrack* is also No. 2.

There are two Lebanese blondes in the RP-playlist. Is there a difference?

Lebanese blonde.......wish I had some. Easy on the throat.

Ofcourse it is. Just about every corporation is part of an algorithm constructed to steal the fruit made (entirely and and solely) by the workers in a society. Well, the stolen profit is for the risk involved in investing in the corp, you might say. But when looking at the larger perspective, then you are wrong again. If looking at diverse investment portfolios over an extended timeline, there are no risk, only profit. Ask Buffet. Ergo: payment for no work = theft.

The whole soundtrack is good.

While I always enjoyed this group, this song is really a excellent example of their skills and ability.
Sunday lounging at it's best!
gazing up through the clouds from my hammock with this playing in my headphones..

Nice follow up to Sade's No Ordinary Love! I hadn't noticed how Sade this song's percussions and vocals are--always noticing the sitar or twangy instrument I can't identify. Also... too high to wonder why.

When these guys are good -They are very, very good.
When they are bad they are horrid.... Know nothing about curls on forehead.
I wish I could find some consistently good CD instead of making my own from here and there...
Oh well... Enjoy the good and ignore the bad Solid -8- and I never saw the movie. But I do but a lot of soundtracks looking for hidden nuggets...

There were other rock acts using the sitar and "Indian-inspired" raga sounds before The Beatles (The Yardbirds and Kinks, respectively). Harrison probably did more than any other musician to help it along, but The Beatles were not the only British musicians interested in Indian music and culture.
Don't know where they nicked the sitar piece from—doesn't matter. How long do you think it would have taken the sitar to penetrate Western music—much less rock, without George Harrison? Those pesky Beatles again.

Nice transition from Chemical Brother to Thievery Corporation. Now follow up with some Massive Attack to round it out.

7 for the song and of course 10 for the Movie! I like it, one of my favourite Movies!

When I saw them at Atlanta's Fabulous Fox two years ago, they had a sitar player on stage; no nickage involved. Along with a half-dozen guests singers from Atlanta's rap/hiphop community. Twas a rocking time!

One of life's strange coincidences I suppose, but a Thievery Corporation song features very prominently in the recent film by Steven Soderbergh Side Effects, which deals with the subject of my comment below almost as if he had read it here.
Saw them in concert last Friday and tend to agree. When they're good they're very good but some of their music also leaves a lot to desire.

Depression for some people is situational and a relatively short-lived single event. For a very large number of people, however, it is a chronic, life-long condition—a neurochemical imbalance disorder—that has to be managed, much like diabetes. Modern antidepressants can do wonders for most people, but not all. And even for those who are helped by these drugs, there a days of darkenss and dispair, and even days when the thought of death to end the pain is intensly alluring. And depression tends to worsen with age, the medications become less effective. For me its not scary so much as it is relentless, grinding, a battle that I know someday I will loose. For each of us, with different backgrounds, different biochemistries, different experiences, that day comes soon or late, but it comes.
Meanwhile, life is for the living. I do the best I can, lots of days are good and some days I find exquisite joy. C'est la vie et c'est bon.
OBTW, the Wall Drug Store is in Wall, South Dakota. But you probably know that already.
Hang in there.
I really hope you are feeling better. I read a good book recently, Anatomy of an Epidemic, by Robert Whitaker. It seems these drugs work for only a few lucky people, and over the long term they tend to be more harmful than helpful. I am not depressed, though, not now anyway, so who am I to say. I was depressed a long time ago, having the same feelings as you, and I was helped by an SSRI, but I was only taking it for 3 months. I think you have to take caution and not trust the MDs too much in this field.

Has a mysterious sound and I think the sitar works well with it!

Love this song - oh yeah...and that was a great film...hmmm
The most amazing band I saw this past weekend at the Dave Matthews Caravan........and just for seeing this live and the SEVEN lead singers they brought on stage, it qualifies as an automatic ten.
The special sitar one of the band members played on stage for it was stellar as well!

I've always liked this song. Heard the Mirror Conspiracy album somewhere, been a TC fan ever since.
Putting music like this into the mix is great. I'm sure being so broad has challenges, but you make it work. Extremely well, actually.
Thank you much for playing this!
I am totally in love with anything Thievery.....
Not Thievery's best, at least IMHO.
The new album is amazing, saw them in Boston last month, 3+hr set, two encores, 8 vocalists, the place was rockin!

Very good soundtrack. Good song, but not the best.
This makes me think of School of Fish - Three Strange
An average song off what is overall a very good soundtrack, IMO.

Nice music, very cool, i love it, give shine under this wet weather we got in france.

Sorry. I consider myself one sensative MF, but that movie was so sappy it turned me off scrubs.
Scrubs had a good first season, a decent second one, then completely Jumped the Shark. Garden State, while sappy, was a joy and the music went so well with it. One of my favorite soundtracks.

And that's not all you get! A FREE copy of 'The Mirror Conspiracy' is included with your hotel or restaurant license!
It used to be Moby... or the Gypsy Kings...

Meanwhile, life is for the living. I do the best I can, lots of days are good and some days I find exquisite joy. C'est la vie et c'est bon.
OBTW, the Wall Drug Store is in Wall, South Dakota. But you probably know that already.

Yes. It's an excellent song to practice your trumpet imitation to (in the style of André-Philippe Gagnon).

Sorry. I consider myself one sensative MF, but that movie was so sappy it turned me off scrubs.

They play this in the film I think when Andrew goes to a party and takes Ecstasy. While he's in a drugged high, friends take Sharpie markers and write things all over his body. He doesnt realize that until he's awake the next day sitting at the breakfast table with a friend's mom and her much younger love interest:
Tim,to Mark's mom, Carol: I had a lovely evening.
Tim to Andrew:By the way, it says BALLS on your face.
So many songs of this genre have simply horrific female vocalists. Thankfully this is not the case with this song. Overall very groovy.
"thanks! you too!"
good movie. great scene.
