In a dark woods paved with snow living all alone
I forgot long ago what I'm looking for

Firecracker lightning seed coming back to me

This is how
You made my heart a hunter

I remember my little seed louder than a dream
I let my golden arrow fly to the bottom of the night
No hounds to guide me no army at my back
I'm gonna stand up

Firecracker lightning seed coming closer to me

This is how
You made my heart a hunter

Sunrise burns my fortress down crumbling to the ground
I found my arrow my lightning spark buried in my heart
No hounds to guide me no army at my back
I'm gonna stand up

Firecracker lightning seed it was always in me

This is how
You made my heart a hunter

This is like Kate Bush if by Kate Bush you mean strong Enigma and Afro Celt Sound System vibes. There's very little Kate in this beyond how she influenced every trip hop, electropop, dreampop, downtempo, electronica band since. 

I am continually baffled by the number of dudes who seem to have a great range of male voices they enjoy yet can only distinguish female voices by comparison to three or four archetypical women in all of the last six decades of recorded music. My brothers, your bias is showing. Train your ears to the vast music you are missing out on by dismissing it out of hand. And Kate Bush comparisons.

If that is as good as it gets then it is a shame - it barely exceeds the sound of the breathing, which alas equates with emotion these days.

I will let others observe how blind is such a comment, unless you find gravel-voiced men really objectionable. I have known women whose voices are simply pitched at a high frequency. This ain't falsetto!

Lieber im Delirium als dieses Gedudel anhören zu müssen.

Greeting from Bavaria to all the listebers outside. Stay safe!

Nice enough but I definitely prefer their harder trippier ambient stuff. Give me Tectonic Shift any time.

Yeah - this sounds exactly like "Lullaby" by The Cure...if you take about 50 tabs of LSD and cover your ears with oven mitts...maybe.  Well, everyone hears different things I guess.

RP introduced me to this song years ago. I have never heard another song that makes me feel like I'm in a fantasy.

So nice to hear a Delerium song that is not 'Silence'!

Delerium on tour in September!!

Leigh Nash and Kristy Thirsk on vocals.

I saw them in 2003 at the Showbox and they were absolutely wonderful!!

EDIT:

Saw them 09/13/08 in Seattle and was very disappointed.  They didn't take the stage until after 11:00.  They had a DJ spinning records as the third of the three opening acts.  Two too many acts for me.

The mid-range was overwhelming in the mix.  The pre-recorded synth and vocal tracks just made for a lot of muddled noise.  There were no dynamics.

Oh, and Leigh Nash was MIA.

Remember that Margaret Cho bit about visiting a colon therapy clinic, and how something about the music of Enya facilitates release? So does this song.

Classic Delerium - this actually not being one of the best songs on this album, I think.

You know, I agree. I was just thinking how I was really getting into the song... but wasn't certain I would be able to tolerate multiple listens.

One of the percussion instruments sounds like the "funk" alert on macs. I keep checking my email. I like the song, though.

there's already a number of Conjure One tunes in the RP library... click here
Posted 21 years ago by Platypus    [ Reply ]
\"Make a Wish\", too, but I\'m a Poe fanatic. I think Sinead O\'Connor\'s \"Tears from the Moon\", which is also on that CD, gets airplay around here.

Oh, I know! I borrowed it from a friend, it is really gorgeous. I especially love "The Center of the Sun" with Poe. She has such a cool voice. Yeah, Bill. I second the nomination for anything from that disc!!! You'll be my hero!!

I don\'t like their \"top 40\" hit material, just doesn\'t work for me. But this is very nice. An easy \"likeable\".

what Shimmer said - this is probably my least favorite on this album... but then again, I like the album so much, I\'ve already listened to it once today. :) Matthew Sweet (and Leigh Nash) are the standouts.
Posted 22 years ago by Thea    [ Reply ]
Bought the CD on a whim after hearing this on RP. Good album. The Matthew Sweet song stands out as the best. This one is good, but not as good as several others on the album.

I really liked it.. \'Fallen Icons\' sounds a lot like what I\'d expect Kate Bush to be doing nowadays. I have yet to hear the rest of the album, though. Cheers! Blarg!
