I'm going to find heaven
I made crepe-paper wings
I think they'll carry me a while
I left you a love poem
The best I have written
My favorite words
Were the ones I couldn't spell
They say that I'm a lunatic
They say that I am full of it
I say that it's worth dreamin'
Just for the dream of it
It's all about passion
It's all about perception
Don't call me on my cell phone
'Cause there ain't no reception
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
I think I'm growing feathers
But I'm not quite sure of it
'Cause I started getting dizzy
About a Hundred feet up
I made friends with the clouds
I made friends with the birds
If you ask a goose a question
He never shuts up
And honestly I miss you
And I hope that you're missing me
Cause I could use your lips on me
And a little bit of dramamine
For the moment I can see
Way better than I've ever seen
Don't sell my stuff on eBay
Cause I might need it back before I'm gone
Before I'm gone
I'm not the kind of man
Who's into looking downwards
I've drank my share of pity
From the bartender's cup
So many people
Wonderin' "What's the right direction?"
As far as I'm concerned
There's only one way up
And my fingers, they are blisters
And my eyes, they are bullet holes
But my hearts still beating
Guess I'm pretty lucky
Pretty lucky
Pretty lucky
(When I'm gone)
Stream has been brutal this morning. If this was the first time I listened I doubt I would have come back.
"Don't sell my stuff on eBay"
What is it about this guy’s voice that irks me? It’s not the quirkiness- I mean I love Future Islands (as Bill says- “his vocals are an acquired taste”), David Byrne, Colin Melli’s, Dylan and Neil Young- all who have distinct vocal styles. The music is fine, but I can’t listen- therefore it’s PSD. Not a hater, just sharing the disconnect and the question of one man’s ceiling being another man’s floor. But keep it up, Bill and Becca: I’d rather skip over an occasional song than rob others of their enjoyment of something that doesn’t float my boat.
Thank you for your intelligent critique, especially your last two sentences. If other listeners, who disliked certain songs/bands followed your example, there might actually be more palatable discourse in the comments section.
I actually like Cloud Cult and, while I don't love the lead singers voice, in the "listening to music" part of my brain it suits the the type of music being spun by the instrumental portion. So. . . I would very much like Bill and Becca to keep Cloud Cult on the RP playlist.
Wait.. buck fifty a quarter? As in 6 bucks a year?
What's a Grecian Urn? *rimshot*
He never shuts up". I'm glad I did, it's such an uplifting and funny song... I needed that.
It was a very surreal moment.
I remember going over in slow motion, hanging there in my harness, unclipping it and crawling out the window.
I realized the music was still playing, so I reached in and shut the ignition off.
Stood back and thought to myself, Crap! This is going to be a whole bunch of work.
Boy was I right...
And I was pretty lucky...
Looks like a cusp on the power, handling, ability and attention matrix...
Lots of rhythm, interesting lyrics and energetic instrumentation.

Maybe it’s that he sounds like he’s running out of breath most of the time? Definitely a take-it-or-leave-it band (I’m heavily on the buy side).
Me too!

No, I picked up one of their CDs (Love) and while a lot of it was fairly bouncy in this vein, it was surprisingly hard in spots if I remember (I've just listened to it once and a third so far). It's been growing on me though, they are very creative.

Ouch! Really? Make it 5...

I don't hear whimpering as much as I hear a hipster Gordon Gano. Though maybe you'd consider Gordon whimpery.
Whimpering sums it up, but...I may not agree with what you say but I will defend ...
Bill invented the PSD button just for you so the rest of us who enjoy CC can do so while you listen to something else.
ditto
Benny's probably not so glad about it though - you made him twist his ankle.
Same here, I bought the Light Chasers direct from their website recently and plan on expanding my collection. Thanks Bill!
PSD>>
FWIW, I vote this song, and many of the other polarizing ones need an '11' because of the fact they push so many buttons so well. Love this song and this band. Wish they'd have been around back when I was in music school or working as a stagehand. Either case would've rocked so hard.
Same opinion here. He sounds like a 13 years old having his testicles being squeezed. And that's not suppose to sound good.
"Don't call me on my cell phone
'Cause there ain't no reception"
I totally get this lyric. I feel like I'm holding a Tricorder from Star Trek when I'm trying to find reception. Please! Just give me one bar!
Yeah, me too. I'm still searching for that radio station that plays that one perfect song that everyone loves to hear over-and-over ad infinitum, When I find it I will get to keep my buck-fiddy a quarter.
Wait.. buck fifty a quarter? As in 6 bucks a year?
I'm also a contributor, and I don't like most Bowie, Elvis (Costello or Presley for that matter), and a large portion of the world music that gets played here, yet that doesn't make me regret my contribution. Either open your mind or mute your speakers for 4 minutes... I'm sure one of the two of those is hard, but the other should be easy.
I took your advice purchased the album, and have been listening to it nonstop. There are a few small parts that grate on me, but overall it was an excellent work.
Thanks for the comment/suggestion!
It's good to hear you playing some Cloud Cult again! Bring it.

yep,still has that Blue October thing goin' on (although I do like that creaky door thing at the end,what is that?)
:) hope you will
I feel like most of us here in Eugene would feel this way.
'Cause it's all about you.
An 'eclectic' station with a wide range of music is bound to delight and appall all its listeners at some time or other. One person's godlike is another's sucko-barfo. I can't be doing with this number but I stick with RP because there's far more music on here that pleases rather than hurts the ears, and every day there are surprises on the playlist. So even if I'm muting 1 in every 5 songs, as sometimes happens, I'm happy to continue contributing. RP is a unique experiment and one worth strongly supporting, IMO. The alternatives don't bear thinking about.
I, on the other hand, contribute money here, and this is exactly why I contribute money here. Yet another example of the celebration of creativity that Bill brings to this forum, which, for some reason, seems to bug the hell out of some listeners.

Excuse me Cult-fans, but since I discovered the TRUE CLASS
of the BLACK KEYS, nothing else counts for me.
Except Sting, despite his "writers-block"
and his horrible new "Vegas" album!
SR
Is v4 THAT bad?
and you've posted your opinion several times now....what's the deal?
I hate it that much.
You mean 'on fire'? Nobody can fire volunteers dude!
thanks for the intro, bill

This guy's adam's apple could use a shot of my knuckles.
What's with this guy's voice? Sheesh.
Seriously. It's SO GOOD. I unironically love Cloud Cult.
