The curtains rise and fall
The past is a foreign country
At the dark end of the hall
And the morning is an offering
To the shelter of the day
But the violent come
And they bury it away
Time goes by at the speed of life
Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night
Faster than the skin breaks on the edge of a knife
And we just go on at the speed of life
Like questions begging answers
The stars appear at night
What's it mean to love somebody
What's it mean to be alive
I heard a little girl laughing
At her first sight of snow
Saw an old man dying
In a room, he didn't know
While the world turns through the ages
It's a most peculiar ride
Holding on to one another
Moving at the speed of life
We just go on at the speed of life
A family on the midway in the carnival lights
Moving in a circle through the sounds and the sights
And it all goes by at the speed of life
Time goes by at the speed of life
Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night
Faster than the skin breaks, baby
On the edge of a knife
And we just go on and on at the speed of life
Moving at the speed of life, speed of life
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Yet another "new to me artist" and Moline is just up the road from me!!? How have I never heard of him or Lifehouse...
Thanks RP
A few bits made me think of the Finn brothers.
That's a good thing.

He's from Moline, IL. That's a rough town.
That album cover may be of downtown Moline.
Sounds so much like Sting at his best. Most excellent.

Thank you R.P for opening up an old Audiophile's pallet again!
Enjoy your special sleeping spot with sound! You deserve a nap.

Edward Hopper wants his vibe back!
Nice spot. Isn't Google a wonderful thing?
I think that yer man and Norman Rockwell occupy my favourite artists top spots.
Hm. What if I don't feel like this is an 8? Can I rate it as I see fit?
who the hell is edward hopper? and what does neoclassicist art have to do with jude cole?
Come on, man, if you had learned enough Art History to know the word "Neoclassicist", then you should also know who Edward Hopper was - by the way, he was not a neoclassicist in any way.

Agreed.
Exactly. What's different about this and the million other poppy things I don't know. But this is a winner, alright. I luvs it loads.

Exactly. I thought, is this a faster version of a Sting song.
Played at your funeral, as in, "It's a bad day for me so why don't all you suckers suffer too!"?
nah,.... it's cheesy and a 3.
I have in my bathroom that bookstore, a picture of isolation at about 3 in the am.
EXCELLENT!!
I want to be your friend - you're the first in 7 years to agree with me!
Does this mean there is something wrong with me?

It appears as if the designer essentially combined elements from a few different Hopper paintings for the cover.
Good tune.
Certainly hopperesque! No question! Thought so immedeately!
The first mates name was Hopper. . .
. . My god he had a whopper, once round the deck, one round his neck and up his a*** for a stopper. (from an old english tune often sung at Twickenham and on deck of the good ship Venus)

Thanks Bill!
AVF3S is a terrific album. Thought he was a one album wonder until I caught more at RP!
This does not mean I don't like it of course. Good tune, good lyrics..
Edit: Thank you Proclivities, that Album cover was making my brain itch.
Nice tune, too.

Well put... I know I've been hearing this for years on RP, but it's just occurred to me how much I like it! Easy 8 :)
Thanks for the Greg Kihn reference. I knew that guitar sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it! Remember is a great song as well.
Like ghosts on open windows

Very cool!!
Thanks Bill!
I had to raise my 8 to a 10!
Nice tune, too.
Amen! Hope this guy doesn't give up music in favor of act'ing (said with my best Jon Lovitz impression).
So, if I use my iPhone to relay RP to the Bluetooth-equipped Kenwood head unit in my car, I can hear RP while I'm driving around? How COOL is that?!

I liiked this song even more when I saw the cover and made this same connection - I really like this song.
Is this a one song wonder or is the entire cd this good?
Dontcha love those kind of mistakes?
and it's cool that the last time it played on RP, it was my B-Day
I was just gonna ask out there who does the album with the guy leaning on the wall/painting on the cover.
He's good! Thanks.
Funny what we all hear: I heard (don't shoot me!) John Waite.
