Can you hear that knocking in your soul
No, no, you don't listen
Can you hear that knocking overload
No, no, you don't listen
Never see the high beyond the low
No wonder, you lay twitching
Do you share the rush to be alone
Come over, we'll go missing
We'll go where there's no snow
We'll go and they won't know
But just please don't give me your word
Do do do
Can you hear that knocking in your soul
No wonder, you don't listen
We'll go where there's no snow
Just please don't give me your word
Do do do...
Just please don't give me your word
All that matters is the music tonight
Just please don't give me your word
All that matters is the music tonight
But you don't listen
But you don't listen
Ah you don't listen
So, we'll go running, running til we start again
Yeah we'll run, we'll run away
Yeah, we'll go running, running til we start again
Yeah we'll run, we'll run away
Yeah, we'll go running, running til we start again
And we'll run, we'll run away
No, no, you don't listen
Can you hear that knocking overload
No, no, you don't listen
Never see the high beyond the low
No wonder, you lay twitching
Do you share the rush to be alone
Come over, we'll go missing

The guy had one hell of a natural falsetto, didn't he?
How have I never rated this delightful song? It grabs me every time it comes around. 7-->8
A Cocteau Twins clone.

As others have noted the falsetto on this song is impressively done. It makes one do a double take upon initial listening. Sets me in mind of the same neck-wrenching twisty twist when first hearing LP. And all in a good way, of course.
Excellent song - new to me so thanks again RP.
Super song. Many thanks RP.

Pretty impressive countertenor. Great range.
It's kind of amazing what they were able to pull all this off with a 10-note riff. I guess that goes to show what musical craftsmanship is capable of.
I always think this is Aimee Mann from her 'Til Tuesday days.
Not a bad thing.

Nope. I work at a Tier-1 academic referral hospital (150 beds, 155 physicians in 12 specialties) and we treat everyone who walks in the door, regardless of ability to pay. This includes things like CRISPR and oncology immunotherapy. We have patients whose outstanding bills are in the millions of dollars - I doubt we ever see a penny of that, but it's not an issue for our faculty or physicians.
We also run a regional pediatric 24/7 ER that maintains a pretty hefty deficit. No one's talking about shutting it down for lack of funds; in fact the plan is to expand it.
The tiresome health care debate in the US boils down to who's going to pay - not who's going to be treated.
Oh if only this was typical. Healthcare delivery in America suffers from being captive of the insurance industry. This promoted distortions in the market, encouraging healthcare providers to raise their fees dramatically at the same time negotiating discounts with insurance companies for health services from providers, sometimes as much as 90%.
This created incentives for carrying insurance since the threat of illness now was accompanied by the likelihood of insolvency or bankruptcy. Today, 50% of bankruptcies filed in America are to discharge medical expenses.
It may present in theory that everyone can be treated but that's only true if you have access. Having insurance does not guarantee treatment. I watched my late friend turned away from a radiologist because his Medicare plan didn't compensate as well as other coverages. On an referral marked "stat" they offered him an appointment three months out. Let's hear again how America's fee for service system will get you treatment at any facility(in network), without regard to state of the art technology.
NHS has its problems, most of which stem from insufficient funding. But in America, we decided a child's leukemia was a profit point. I want to know what OP thinks goes on outside his facility but this comment indicates a certain detachment from reality.

When I discovered RP in 2004 this was one of the first tracks I was introduced to. A lovely ear awakening sound. Mr Gilbert will be miss. RIP.
RIP Greg Gilbert❤️
Is someone's phone ringing throughout?

And today we are proud to introduce Aimee Mann from Til Tuesday as our guest vocal for the Cocteau Twins!
Reminds me of a band called Puressence - they had a decent song called This Feeling
Good Tune! I never heard of them before. Thanx RP!
I'm just learning today (22 Nov 21) that Greg Gilbert passed away in September of cancer. It makes me doubly sad as this song was a favorite of my close friend Byrd, who died of breast cancer two years ago. In fact I had the lyric "We'll go where there's no snow" inscribed on her memorial stone. Rest in peace you two, you both brought a lot of beauty into my life.
A really underrated band, great live and very sad to hear that the lead singer Greg Gilbert died this year who was an incredible vocalist.

"Academic Referral hospital". Meaning you need a referral to the facility to get ANY treatment. Can't just "walk in the door". That would seem to be boiling down to "who's going to be treated". "Ability to pay", may have something to do with who gets the referral?

No women on the personnel roster for The Delays:
* Greg Gilbert: lead vocals, guitar
* Aaron Gilbert: keyboards, vocals
* Colin Fox: bass guitar, vocals
* Rowly: drums and percussion
Nice sounding band but it would be easier for me to digest if it was a female lead vocalist...not a big fan of castratos in my alt / indie rock

Ahh, if he was in the States he would only be getting treated at state of the art facilities if he was suitably insured. (as relatively unknown musician he probably couldn't afford insurance) whereas NHS care isn't strictly rationed at all. Under-funded and overwhelmed certainly, but never rationed. It is still a free-to-all service.

Here is an article with the latest news (from Greg Gilbert twitter account) - Greg Gilbert cancer battle latest - Delays frontman talks candidly about living with cancer (Source - Southern Daily Echo)
(...)
"Greg is currently enjoying a three month break from treatment, following a far more successful response to chemotherapy than anyone had hoped for.
He is not cancer free; no tumours were visible in his last scan but he has been told that there is a 99 per cent chance that they will grow back.
But today, as we chat in a Southampton cafe, the sun in shining, Greg feels well, and they are making the most of life."
Wish him the best recovery surrounded by his family, friends and band members

Haven't heard this in a while... very unique and pleasing!!!!
Amazingly rich, lush soundscape here — addicting! I got turned onto this by an Ozzie mate named Greg who taught with me at the big uni near Fuji-san and used to throw unforgettable roof-top parties in ShimoKitaZawa and SanGenJaya... Then RP began playing it, and it always seemed to be on my iPod just in time for the train ride back up the Odakyu to Setagaya-ku; this forever takes me back there.
beautiful
The lyrics have always been secondary to the melody and vocals. Now reading them, I see they are resonant.

Everything I love in a song - beautiful music and clear vocal - going to search out more by this group. Nice!
Don't let Greg Gilbert's beautiful falsetto keep you from noticing Colin Fox's wonderfully understated drumming.

this is . .. quite likeable.
but: the (early) magnetic fields, however, did something like this, but a lot better. (on their first LPs "Distant Plastic Trees" and "The Wayward Bus" 1990 resp. 1991)
and that reminds me that one of the really BIG things i constantly miss here are those Magnetic Fields.

It's OK.
I don't like Corvettes.

Bill covered a lot of ground between Peter Gunn and Wonderlust, (seems to me—all good though).
I agree. Some great music, and all very inspiring. Crap - it's darned near midnight, but I can't make my brain shut down...

Sorry to reply to such an old comment, but I just had to!
yes, it's a guy singing - yes, he has a high voice.....why does that make so many of you think less of the song ? sheesh

I'm living in a bubble when a band like this has been around for 5 years and I haven't heard them before. Thanks for introducing them to me - you've done it again Bill!
P.S. Cocteau Twins meets New Order meets ABBA

I'm with you! What an amazing range that guy has, and how often do you hear steel drums in pop/rock music? These guys deserve more airplay.
male or female singing, that is one spectacular voice...I like the steel drum sounding in the background

The average rating for this set is a 9. One of the best sets for me personally here at RP.
Now Playing:
Delays - Wonderlust
Venus Hum - Hummingbirds
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pipeline

sure enough.. RP provides.. the links take me to the AMG site, see "Delays" and I'm like.. there's no girl there.. hmmm perhaps assisted by E.F.? .. but can't find that.. however did find they list the Cocteau Twins as an influence. LOL
For years I thought this was Cocteau Twins.
LOL .. you know.. that's the first thing I thought when I heard it.. but thought that lead voice maybe not so.. perhaps background.. sure enough..

No women on the personnel roster for The Delays:
* Greg Gilbert: lead vocals, guitar
* Aaron Gilbert: keyboards, vocals
* Colin Fox: bass guitar, vocals
* Rowly: drums and percussion
Nice sounding band but it would be easier for me to digest if it was a female lead vocalist...not a big fan of castratos in my alt / indie rock

I didn't know that either! Had to youtube it... Wow : ) I like it MORE now!
Nor did I realize it was a man singing falsetto. That makes me like it even less!

welcome to the master of sets. Listen long enough and you will come to appreciate how Bill not only mixes tracks but also sets with each other, sort of like adding another level to the art of DJ-ing
Like this song a lot, but just saw a previous post, and this is the same stretch of songs from earlier this year:
Delays - Wonderlust
The Police - Invisible Sun
Jeff Beck - Going Down
The Church - Destination
Never noticed that before.

A major improvement on the previous track!

GREAT SET
I never knew Bill recycled playlists, because that is exactly what is playing/just played right now. Not that I have a problem with it as long as they are far enough apart (and I think over a year counts).
Oh yeah, and good song.
A happy song...nice for the afternoon gloom.
steel drums=automatic zero
Colin Fox has that Ringo touch - clever drumming that moves a song along without being obtrusive.
the steel drum loop is annooooooooooying

Even if it was an ape or a dog...the voice is impressing and clear.
