'Cause I want more
More, give me more
Give me more
This will never end
Cause I want more
More, give me more
Give me more
If I had a heart I could love you
If I had a voice I would sing
After the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings
If I had a voice, I would sing
Dangling feet from window frame
Will I ever ever reach the floor?
More, give me more, give me more
Crushed and filled with all I found
Underneath and inside
Just to come around
More, give me more, give me more
If I had a voice, I would sing
Bill, You are so much a man of my own heart, and a true master of connections between the songs you play. As soon as I heard "Hall of the Mountain King", by Edvard Grieg, fellow Norwegian (well Norwegian-American in my case, but I have met many of my Norse relatives in Norway!) and Viking ancestor, I thought "How cool would it be to hear the theme song from "Vikings" right now? At that moment, you played it! I have been listening to RP pretty much from the start (and to you for many years before that on radio in Northern California) and I love the connections you constantly make, many obscure, but I often get the obscure ones too, because that is how my musical brain works as well. I have been living in the mountains of central Mexico the past three years and Radio Paradise is my companion and soundtrack here. Gracias amigo! Tom

Me too! Was listening to KPIG on the internet (cause moved out of reach) when they had some trouble with content and licensing and went off the air. Before they shut down, we were directed to RP - my radio home ever since.

Well stated and I feel you echo the sentiments of the entirety of the RP community. Lind of course is a very old Viking name that stays in the background. While the paper work says we came over in the 1900's all evidence on the ground says that we made our way over to Milwaukee in the 1300's. I am adopted and do not have the blood line - I am 80% Irish and 20% German according to the genealogy on the adoption records, which I also suspect is more Roman than anything else.
I am trying to get a teams group together to listen and audio chat together at the same time. One day I will sit down and write the ppt plugin to play arbitrary AAC streams over a slide so that the music works. I attempted to play it off the phone, but the noise cancelling rendered the music unintelligible over teams and ppt only offers media plugins on the major video streaming platforms.
Que gusto tener un vikingo entre nuestras montañas. No se tu que piensas pero me hubiera gustado que mantuvieran sueco, o noruego o danés en la letra.

I agree with all you have stated, Bill's songs connections are something above special !
Agreed Bill is one of the best if not the best!
killer smile : ) love Fever Ray
I love Vikings! I don't think I would like this song as much if I hadn't heard it on the show.
Yup,. I've heard it. I have it.
I don't know whether to take that as a poor review, or just a person of few words! So was it any good?
Given Bill's follow up to "If I had a Heart" with "Clap Hands", he may be testing your theory. If he had followed with Sinatra, I would have been able to confirm this...
Ha! Now followed by Clannad!
Yup,. I've heard it. I have it.
Enya?!? You need to wash your ears out, mate - Karen Dreijer Andersson is as far from Enya as Tom Waits is from Frank Sinatra. For sure, this is a love it or hate it album - I love it to bits because it's so disturbing, different and quirky, but to others it's plain earache. It's a shame that this was just one of Karen's one-offs, as I'd snap up any follow-up. 9 from the unsettled Nottingham jury.

Exactly what I thought. Must be the early bass line...
Vikings is good, but I wouldn't go as far as to put it on the pedestal as GOT. (Vikings lost me in the first episode when they put the rudders of the boats on the left side. Steering boards, or starboard, were always on the right of the ship. After that, I treated it as a good drama rather than anything historical.)

Seconded! This album is still in heavy rotation in my car.
I can hear it from here :)
Ha 😁 thought the same today when I heard those same opening notes 😊
but (even...) "Tessellate" is more fresh and pleasant
I do disagree
Very emphatically.
Childish opinion.
(great TV show ... highly recommend)
Me too!
A sharpie will do in a pinch.

Hail ODIN.
Sort of; she was one half of the musical duo known as "The Knife".

Yes, well chosen.
Ah! Someone else who is distracted by the trend developed over the years of equating breathiness with emotion - Muse are a prime example. I guess it is the rise of the vocalist over the singer, who has breath control and a mic further away so that the voice is heard and the breathing not. My parents used to despair of 'modern' singers (40 years ago!) thrusting microphones down to their tonsils. Alas it is aggravated by the brighter treble sound of which I think Cliff Richard was one of the prime exponents. I recall a choir master teaching us all to breathe at different points and to breathe in slowly to avoid a massed inrush of air noise. I'll get off my soapbox now...
Now that I'm gone, 'm just starting to appreciate it at its right value!
Let's tesselate!
damned dadaists. touching everything they can get their hands on.
Man Ray is feeling better too, or was in the summer of 76.
That's good news; I didn't know he had been feeling poorly.

Thanks yet again to RP for playing Karen Dreijer Andersson, whom I'd never, ever have heard otherwise, and my musical life would have been very much the poorer.
Absolutely. Hugely enjoyable album, for me, from start to finish. I enjoy it in the car particularly, because she who must be obeyed cannot understand why I would listen to such tripe. Carry on listening to Mickey Bubble then, me luvver.

mmm hhhmmm
and... Breaking Bad!? Love it. I've only seen first 4 seasons but great stuff. Anyone know what episode?
Liked it before I read all that, tho. Good stuff.
The Lee Miller exhibition wasn't in Paris. Man Ray's was.........so he wins, besides, Miller doesn`t meme on Ray.
Ray's stuff was silly and cool. Miller's was amazing (perfume? Hitler's bathtub?) and she went to Europe during the war and documented that. Paris is just a town. the work speaks for itself.
Also used as the opening theme of "Vikings" series on the History Channel.
Hail Lord Ragnar !!!!

Man Ray was great but Lee Miller was better.

But my wolf guardian wants to slip quietly into the bush.
I watched a couple of episodes of the Vikings, but my interest soon waned...I kept rooting against the Vikes and for the forces of civilization.
Despite their reputation for plundering and pillaging, the Vikings were actually a very civilized people. They assimilated with other cultures, were very lawful, and brought agriculture and commerce to many parts of the world that didn't have it at the time.
It starts in first part of 2015. One of the best TV shows out there. But I am part Norwegian and part Danish so I can relate to it.
Me too, but people are stupid. They like mainstream... easier to assimilate. . .
Man Ray was great but Lee Miller was better.
If they had a melody
If they could write lyrics
HAIL RAGNAR! And HAIL LAGERTHA!
