One two three,
Counting out the signs we see
The tall buildings
Fading in the distance
Only dots on a map
Four five six
The two of us a perfect fit
You're all mine all mine

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me,
Yeah you picked me

So softly,
Rain against the windows
And the strong coffee
Warming up my fingers
In this fisherman's house
You got me,
Searched the sand
And climbed the tree
And brought me back down

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me, yeah you picked me

It's totally fine to not like a song, and to express a different opinion, right?
Look at the responses below by Droidac, horstman, and RMutt where, as a response to a negative opinion, they insult the poster personally.

That's not right.  If the song's good, defend it. If it's not, criticize it. But let's not turn on each other just because we like different things.
 
Well said, dmax! Let's not devolve into Republicans and Democrats!

Pretty voice; cute girl. Reminds me a little bit of Over the Rhine with a higher register. Please note: I've stated it reminds me, okay? okay. :)

Easy to please.

This song is pretty good. The album is more of the same. It's easy to get sick of her voice pretty quickly. I bought the album, ripped it, and ended up playing a couple of times in the car and promptly gave it to a friend.

But that's just me. Guess I'm not as easy to please.

Or I have better taste.{#Sleep}

Z, thanks for the post. I was wondering the same thing...what a beautiful song. But I too have fallen into that trap.

My upload and i so agree with you
Ah, so it's you we have to thank for the A Fine Frenzy songs. Well done! Despite the resentful comment of the Princess of Puke, I think Alison Sudol's music would be excellent even if she were as plain as homemade sin. I listened to her entire album the other day and was struck by its musical and lyrical maturity. If she can do this at age 22, her future looks bright indeed. I don't use the word pop pejoratively. Sure, there are plenty of insubstantial trifles and outright dreck that fall under that category, but good pop is good music and good music is why we listen to RP.

Let's face it. This is pop. Fairly good pop, but pop nevertheless. And most of us who have found our way to RP are not typical pop listeners. Yet there are times when pop appeals to most of us. So I guess its all about what kind of mood we're in as to whether pop songs, even good ones, will appeal to us. At least that's my theory.

I'm sure if she were not so cute, the song wouldn't be!!!! I'm not saying I think the song is cute, but everyone else thinks so.
Posted 16 years ago by sarahbean26    [ Reply ]
By the way I think it's as good a time as any to say it's really nice hearing a new artist who has all the passion and drive and inspiration to make big waves without any of the success to go to her head (yet). Lets enjoy it while it's fresh..

Since many of her lyrics refer to the natural world and most of the photos I've seen of her are outdoors, I think Alison must be a nature girl.

I bought the CD, but I have to say I'm disappointed with her enunciation. It's darned hard to tell what she is singing on the first 1/2 of the CD. The later tracks, like this one, are clearer. I still like her, but I'm not sure if I'm that taken with her style. I like to know what the song is about.

At its heart this song sounds like something you'd hear in a sappy musical. Can't you just see her spinning around holding his letter jacket and singing out the window into the night?

This was a recent freebie song at Starbucks. They were giving away "mp3s of the month." I was very pleased to tell my wife (who loves the song) that I heard it first on Radio Paradise.

OK, I take back the Fiona thing. I'm liking all the tracks from this CD I've heard on RP. Not weighty, but nothing wrong with that.

There are moments where it's quite nice, but many other where it's too heavy handed. I'll start out with a 5 and see if it grows on me.
