when I need a heart
when I need to feel the beat
beat of my heart
let the road give me
.. to know it's the way
said I know it's the way
don't worry ..
don't worry too much
there'll be another day
you see some things still remaining
a lot of changing
don't dare stop changing
sometimes you shine
sometimes you fall
sometimes you know
sometimes you need
someone to hold
something that's real
never alone
until you can feel
the life in your soul
be there when I need a stranger
when I need the beating of my heart
beating of danger
take you the way you want to go
I don't want to show you
you can find your own way
find your own way
there's nothing written down
nothing here to tell you
nothing to tell you to turn around
I see you hating
don't want to see you hating
sometimes you shine
sometimes you fall
sometimes you know
nothing at all
want to see you shine, shine, shine like I know you can
want to see you shine, shine, shine like I know I am
sometimes you shine
sometimes you fall
sometimes you know
sometimes you need
someone to hold
something that's real
never alone
until we can feel
life in our soul
want to see you shine, shine, shine like I know you can
want to see you shine, shine, shine like I know I am
I always love this one
Nicely put!
Let's see your RP account card.

Okay, you're cool. Post within guidelines and
don't forget to tip the tune-tender.
Thanks for the reminder. Just chipped in $10
I dont play an instrument but i like this song. Is it OK to post that comment here?Someone told me that cuz I do not play an instrument that i should not comment.

Comment away my friend!
love this one!
Music belongs to all of us. The only people I'd prefer to see not commenting are negative nillies.
Not a musician but I do like the magic from this band mucho. Thanks for the observation bialia, furshur.

Speaking as a musician myself, sometimes musicians get so caught up in the minutiae that they lose sight of the magic. Their comments are not inherently better.

I love this and the production value just doesnt match the previous Pink Floyd track. Just goes to show you they were mastering an art form then. this just feels thin and like there are layers of gauze on top of the highs in comparison.
New hi-res master as of today. Check it out.

It's not that you can't post things about music if you don't play an instrument,
people that don't play an instrument have also an opinion about music.
I tend to want to give this a 9 for that wonderful eerie intro, but then back it off to a 7 for the rest of the song for not living up to the beginning.
Maybe your expectations were unrealistic. But I agree this is a solid 7.

Proficiency in a musical instrument doesn't denote taste; nor lack thereof.
IMHO your voice (opinion) is as good as any, and possibly better than my own :)

The only two musical instruments I have demonstrated any real competency at playing are a kazoo and a stereo, but this station is labeled "listener supported" so I think that pretty much qualifies all those people who venture here, to comment.
Oh, and yes, I also like this song
this was posted 6 years ago and nobody has yet bothered to say UTTER NONSENSE? Jeez. everybody is welcome to post here and maybe non-musicians especially.
I could be wrong, but I believe RDO was trying to mock the absurd "electronic music doesn't count because they don't play real instruments" trope.
The original album release was hardly electronic at all and was really poorly received by YB fans when it was released. I know fans have no right to 'expect' anything from their artists but a lot, including me, complained that it was a complete divergence from the previous 2 albums and was a rock-lite effort, essentially made by a different band, riding the coat tails of the YB back catalogue. If they had released it under a different band name as a side project then it would have been wholly appropriate.
It was made worse, for many, by the fact that they launched a big crowdfunding campaign to fund it, meaning that a lot of fans invested based on their previous experience of the band's electronic roots. I bought it expecting more yummy electronic madness and I was hugely disappointed with what I actually got. I've only played the original version a few times and it has never really grown on me.
To their eternal credit they listened to their fans and released an electronic version, which is far better, but I have to agree with you, this pales in comparison to almost anything else Simon Posford has been involved in.
This is a pretty damned good song, one way or another.
Of course it's OK!
It's frankly uninteresting, though...
Lol

Thanks for that info. I discovered Posford here on RP with Vaccine (I think it was "Train" I heard first), which was just interesting enough for me to go expore further. I'm glad I did! It put me in the fortunate position of going from the lesser to the greater, rather than the other way round.
thank-you.

it is 9 to me
I doesn't ruin the song for me, but I get you.
That bit sticks in my ears like the violin screeches in the shower scene in Psycho.
But somehow it kinda fits the intensity of the rest of the song? *shrug*
Like a Duck Frog on a Rainy Night!
I hope it's safe to assume that that's just you.
He doesn't have an angry enough Voice for such repetition...
Maybe it's Just Me; I just Wanted to drown 'em out with Better Noise,
Like a Duck Frog on a Rainy Night!

I've liked everything I've heard by them — and you can bet I've only heard them here; who else plays these guys? (Buying through the RP 'buy' linky thing.)
This was one of Storm Thorgorsons last pieces. there is a youtube interview with Storm and the band.
Just what's required to get a Sunday morning going.
And the lyrics are ethereal.., shine, shine, shine, shine
.
Bill you are as smooth as silk
I have the same problem. I think it's that so much of this music, good or bad as it is, is ultimately so derivative as to be forgettable, IMO. I still listen to RP nearly every day, and enjoy it. But it's more like a project or study on the state of contemporary music. I'm still waiting to hear the group or groups that will open new pathways of music appreciation in my brain, the way my favorite bands used to do. So far not yet.
Ooh, I really, really don't think so. Younger Brother come out of the trance electronica scene, Coldplay from anthemic rock. Chalk and cheese.
Wherever they came from, they met in the middle - the whining and squeaking result is the same... Sorry, can't hide the fact that I can't stand Coldplay. This is a bit more bearable I think.
Mine toooo 8 -> 9 :)
I'm with ya. Last Days of Gravity is brilliant.
These guys are not "bedroom musicians", but rather well-established trance artists. See the Wikipedia entry.
bump (definitely worth a look)
bumping again. Works so well to this song

I love the intro to this.
See you when this is over :(
Accoustic drumers are so overrated

This band is one of my absolute favorite finds here on RP

your friends comment is just funny. pay no attention.

Not really my song of choice,
but a good new band - without doubt!
Completement d'accord

Y'all really should watch this.
The scenes with the Earth sliding underneath while the solar panels rotate - the visual equivalent of rubbing your head while patting your stomach.
Watched......Liked....Thanks,

....isn't that inspired cover art.
Sometimes You Shine !!!
Thanks for the shout-out Bill for tipping people off to this youtube — such a great merging of video with music !
Wow. Stunning space imagery with stunning music. Kinda like how iTunes visualizer makes you "see" the music through its algorithms and reminisce about that acid trip 20 years ago when you had the "a-ha" moment of yes, yes you can see music ;-) I love Younger Brother but would never have known about this video without Bill's suggestion on the air. Gratitude for posting/sharing/enlightening.

I think I must have missed the transition from the intro...it felt like the end of one track and the start of another to me. I'll have to pay more attention next time.
I got it for $14 on Amazon. Not too bad a price. Worth it, if you can remember CDs being $20-plus dollars back in the late 80s.
Wherefore art thou?
I be here! Hope all is well for you...
this song is cool...
Oh. My. God.
Wow. Just wow. Thanks for the heads up.
very very groovy... love it...
Wherefore art thou?
i'm with you.

This is a very late reply, but I keep finding myself posting on here and not only do I not play an instrument, people could accuse me of being tone deaf due to my complete lack of music comprehension. So let loose!
