Young girl in the market, music to the men
When the men leave her eyes are red
When her eyes are closed again
She sees the dark market of above
And she sings
They say the most horrible things
But I hear violins
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
Young boy in the market follows all the men
When the men leave he's out of his head
When his eyes are closed again
He sees the dark market of above
And he sings
They break the most beautiful things
But I hear violins
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
I look into your eyes
And I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
Center of the sun
Young boy in the market
Sees the girl alone and asks her
"Have you lost your way home?", she sings
"You say the most beautiful things, just like my violins"
I look into your eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
'Cause I hear violins
I hear violins
I hear violins
I hear violins
Center of the sun
I hear violins
When the men leave her eyes are red
When her eyes are closed again
She sees the dark market of above
And she sings
They say the most horrible things
But I hear violins
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt

Poe's voice melts my heart 😍. It goes beautifully well with this electronica.
Check out this music video, set to a 9-minute chill-out version of this song:

Stunning visuals.

MORE Conjure One please! Add Tina Dico to your playlist too... she was featured by them and a number of other bands. Voice like buttah.
Turning up my Poe...
I love finding new electro bands on RP. There are really high-quality concerts on YouTube of most of them, like Schiller and Afro Celt SS.

I think it's a little muddled because of the production mix. It's hard to understand the lyrics. Maybe my amp & speakers? But, then again... Nah, I think it's the mix. My speakers work pretty well for most everything else.

This song is way overplayed, people.
The highlights of the album in my opinion are all the vocal tracks... the instrumentals seem to meander too much. But you have two songs by Poe, two by Sinead O'Connor, and two by a singer I'd never heard of before (Marie-Claire D'Ubaldo) which were great too. Several standout vocal performances. I'd recommend it, but its not a homerun (not another Zero 7 or Air for instance).

interesting voice sounding like from "the center of the sun" - great
This is another one of those "only on RP" tracks that I've never heard anywhere else, but will recognize in several years..."Oh, yeah! I used to listen to that on the radio..."

Madonna has some great material out but this is not Madonna.
Rich continuation on a great set.
Me 3. Had Steven listen too and he agrees.
Not to say it's not decent...

Liking this tune. May have to dig deeper into this group.
Poe is a great find, and Conjure One has been a treat as well - I like the tracks with Sinéad O'Connor.
I first heard this song on RP and since then have purchased 2 of Poe's albums and both of the Conjure One albums. It was a great find!
Poe seems to be on heavy rotation right now. Fortunately, I like her! Wish she had some new material, though.

Great tune!
Yay.
Good song but played a wee bit too often, perhaps?

Poe does it for me on a sunny morning
Just what I needed today....
Poe always makes my heart race!
Like this tune. Well done.
My toes started tapping and here I am. nice tune.
I love RP! I have to keep a IE window open here at work just to I can alt-tab over to see the playlist!

When she sings "su-uu-un", her voice has that rich timbre of a well-oiled Husqvarna 394XP
One of my favorites on this CD. LOVE Poe!!
very Pink Floydish!

If its Poe you are talking about, then I wholeheartly agree. Pure Sex.
Center of the Sun is a good line. Memorable like Light of Every Star in that Patty Griffin song

Love the lyrics. Love the vocals (thought it might be Chrissie Hynde before I looked). I'm not crazy about how heavy-handed the strings get during this one, though.

It's time for a new POE album.
Crap! Another one of my favorite songs! Me bladder canna take much more o' this, Captain!

And here I was hoping your quest would end soon. I myself would prefer to hear repeats of good segues than get no planned segues at all, which is why I listen. Why do you listen, if the repeated segues bother you so much? Are you prepare to move to Paradise and fill in for Bill when he has to do things like...umm...sleep, and stuff?
AO
luvin it - very powerful composition, vocals too :D

I dig Conjure One and hadn't heard them before RP (OK, so I live in the middle of nowhere). Downloaded one of their CDs and have played it out, so I like hearing other songs by them, like this one.

Good grief... I can't believe the range of comments here. Just sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy the music.
This is a great driving album. Rhys knows know to complement the female voice wonderfully.
To those who think that this is just another carbon copy of Delerium: well.... yeah, that's because it IS Delerium. Rhys Fulber is half of the two guys who make up Delerium.
Just take a deep breath and exhale slowly.
OK, it's not that bad. 3

More to come no doubt. NO, please, I don't mean play No Doubt. Put that out of your mind.
Whew...that was close.
See, the thing is...most regular RP listeners know and understand that there are reused playlists and repeated segues sometimes. Bill can't be "on-air" all the time so certainly some of the programming is pre-determined. If Bill finds a good segue and gets good feedback on it, I think it's perfectly reasonable to use it again from time to time. Usually when I see a comment about a repeated segue, I smack my head (DOH!) and think "Well...looks like we've got another newbie!" So I'll speak for myself (and others can chime in if they want to) in saying that I kinda wish that quest of yours would end.

Are you insinuating that those who enjoy electronica are less intelligent and/or intellectual?
This song is used for the background in a Warren Miller film ("Journey" I think?) while a base jumper leaps from the Eiger and soars a record 48 seconds. Very cool - check it out.

A beautiful song. I don't know anything about Conjure One, but I recognized Poe's voice right off.

I love this one, and it's going in my wish list pronto. How else would I have known about it, were it not for RP? Thank you yet again.
