Heard the rattle from the train
Sounds of a hundred people,
Maybe more
Cut through the ropes before you came
I had a dream that you were gone.

I'm in the days of throwing rocks
When I saw your picture on a silver coin
Stole a kiss through your golden locks
I had a dream that you were gone.
Woke up and you were gone

All this love has gone away
'Cause I didn't have the heart or strength to say
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone

Heard the rattle from the chains
This goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
I had a dream that you were gone
Woke up and you were gone

This song touched me in the right time I needed it.  This calms all my inner insecurities and hits my heart strings to allieve my fears at emotional irrelevance

Love it. The piano - soft notes....and then the train-track spatter of the snare drum. Awesome.  
 
The keys reminded me of something else but due to the upbeat percussion and guitars I can't quite put my finger on it. Good tune in itself, though!

I wasn't aware I've probably heard this band here before... I recently heard one of their songs used very well on an Australian TV series The Heart Guy. Exploring their music I find most of it to be too monotonal for me, but there are a few songs here and there that are quite compelling. Draw Your Swords is one of them.

This is Julia Stone from Angus and Julia Stone. I went to the Southern Roots Festival in April. It was amazing.

Nice photo.  That's a pretty expensive guitar to be putting duct tape on the face of, even if it is to keep a sound-hole cover on; I guess desperate times called for desperate measures. She can get another guitar through endorsements or get someone to clean off the glue residue, I guess.   Cool song.
Posted 7 years ago by Proclivities    [ Reply ]
Definitely one of those grab you by the brain-stem kind of voices; there can be no doubt that she is transmitting the real thing here!  Soothing and evocative... Reminds me of Kerin Peris, Leigh Nash...

Has an ethereal sound that is simultaneously relaxing and pleasing. A sound that bypasses the conscious and goes straight to the soul.

This song is "Quite Likeable"

I don't understand what prompted the Mellencamp request below.  {#Stupid}  If you are so jonesin' for Mellencamp — spare us the misery and BUY THE CD!  Listen on your own time.  He probably doesn't get played on RP because he is way overplayed on mainstream radio.

A question totally out of contect!

Why we do not hear nothing of "MELLENCAMP" on RP?

I think I am a member here for 5 years or so,
I do not listen 24 hours a day, but there are
weeks and month when I am 10 hours online with RP - at least!

Still!

No Mellencamp! Why is that! Is he not good enough? Does Bill not like him?
Do RP-listener do not like him?

He has a huge catalogue with at least 20-25 songs one could play at all times
to get applause!

What is it about him...?

Can anybody tell? Please?
 

Do you mean John Mellencamp? A quick search of the RP database reveals 40 of his songs, but the ones I looked at appear to be played few times if at all (based on the number of ratings).

Here's one that has at least a few ratings: Pink Houses

Does anybody gets reminded to Tom McRae by this voice? Sounds extremely related in my ears. Love it. Fin de siècle tunes...

Musically, I love this song, but I have to say I don't like the choppy delivery of the vocals.  That stacatto stuff has its place, but in this case it doesn't work for me, sorry.  6.

Simple yet evocative lyrics. The yearning is palpable.

Heard the rattle from the train
Sounds of a hundred people,
Maybe more
Cut through the ropes before you came
I had a dream that you were gone.

I'm in the days of throwing rocks
When I saw your picture on a silver coin
Stole a kiss through your golden locks
I had a dream that you were gone.
Woke up and you were gone

All the love has gone away
Cos I didn't have the heart or strength to say
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone

Heard the rattle from the chains
This goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
I had a dream that you were gone
Woke up and you were gone
