You came up from the ground
From a million little pieces
You're a pretty human being
Yeah, you're a pretty human being
When it all comes crashing down
Try to understand your meaning
No one said it would be easy
Cause living, it ain't easy.
And you were sewn together with a tapestry of molecules
A billion baby galaxies in wide open spaces
And everything you need is here
Everything you fear is here
And it's holding you up
It just keeps holding you up.

Wow, the seamless transition from Death Cab for Cuties' "Foxglove Through The Clearcut" to this... Really impressive! I thought for a moment I was still listening to the same song. Only on RP of course!
I don't even know what it is about this song but it hits me in all of the right feels.

Heck, Bill plays a good bit of stuff I despise, yet I gladly give him a pittance to keep things going.

Was okay until C3PO began to sing.
Speaking of galaxies, a story on the front page of this morning's New York Times says there's a "donut" at the center of the Milky Way. Okay, it's a donut-shaped black hole.
So far, this "donut" has consumed the equivalent of four million suns, so maybe it's more likely to consume you before you consume it.

I can see that, with all the layers. My knee jerk comparison if I had to make one (kind of hard with this band though frankly) would be to Modest Mouse.
At first seconds of listening, I thought "Arcade Fire". At the end, not so much.

Thought this was going to be an alternative take on AC/DC and expected someone to shout "THUNDER!!!" - just me?
Good Tune! I never heard of them before. Thank You RP!

I saw the group performance (and art) at the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland a bunch of years ago. Woaw
A musical whirlwind this song is
Some science in a song:
"And you were sewn together with a tapestry of molecules
A billion baby galaxies in wide open spaces"
"And you were sewn together with a tapestry of molecules

I listen to On Being fairly often, so was surprised yesterday to find an interview w/CC from four years back. This episode reveals exactly what attracts me to this band (and I suspect Bill too).
I've liked some other tracks by this lot on here, but this crossed over into 'racket' in the end.
I fully appreciate that this is not for everyone - that's fine - I like it enough - but the album art for this is really "lets have some fun in photoshop". In a good way.

Is this Bill's "hang in there" playlist? Prior was Trouble by TV on the Radio and I'm feeling a bit better now.

I like these guys, but this song is somewhere between "meh" and tedium for me.
I love Cloud Cult but when this came on I was sure it was an early Genesis song I'd never heard...
Heard these guys recently. they are absolutely FANTASTIC. one of my new all time favorite bands. depth, quality music, talent. :)
When it all comes crashing down

This sounds a lot like it could be Jack White.

Love it! Love 'em. They sound like Modest Mouse so this gets a high rating from me sitting over here tapping my feet.
I still love this album. The haters can all go PSD! ;p
Right, it is not easy but the question is always why is it? Now there is an issue to consider. Personally I like music that stimulates thought and even maybe discussion - after all, just maybe that is the point.

This is probably what they play at Guantanamo Bay 24/7 at full volume. So. Awful.
I really like this band. Thank you for playing them.
Thanks RP for introducing me to so much great music, including Cloud Cult.
I guess I understand why some people don't like the vocals, but for me they work.
I guess it is naive music, both the lyrics and the sound - it reverberates inside me like a tuning fork.

This tune and Rain in the Summertime (2 songs before this) are competing for the most juvenile lyrics of the day

Three years later and my divided opinion stands. However, if someone fails notice that he is the most miserably terrible singer to walk the face of the earth, perhaps his instrumental ideas aren't that relevant anymore, as we will want to stop listening to them as soon as his wailing starts.
It seems more muddled than a "divided opinion" - it's more like a double negative. If someone failed to "notice that he is (what you consider) the most miserably terrible singer to walk the face of the earth", why would his "instrumental ideas" lose their relevance? If one did not consider this singer to be "the "most miserably terrible...etc." (because they inexplicably failed to notice it), then wouldn't that person logically continue to find relevance in the music itself? Also, what's with the use of the pronoun "we", when you are clearly stating your individual opinion? Anyhow, I could hear how this guy's voice could put some people off, but I've heard much worse.
Cheers.

I like it. Get me moving for sure. Guess the quality of the lead vocals is a bit divisive. But it could be worse, could be that awful awful Billy Corgan.

Cloud Cult has me divided. Their instrumental ideas are fantastic. As soon as someone starts singing, I've had it. I actually obtained a full album based on one of their songs (with very little singing), but I never play it.

Variety is the spice of life, and RP keeps the musical spice in my life. Lord knows there are lots of other music sources out there in the big, wide world.

These are musicians, not cage fighting neanderthals from the UFC. I'm not sure what your definition of wimpy is since the bands you recently uploaded, that RP added to the main playlist; Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros and The Monsters of Folk don't exactly sound like they chew iron for breakfast. You list Band of Horses and Arcade Fire, I would guess that you haven't been to any of their live shows. These bands can be explosive in a live setting, they can also be mellow too, but wimpy as a description of them is so far from accurate that it's ludicrous. And to make matters worse you side with Photo-John, who's comments regarding this band make him seem, at the very least, unbalanced, and at the most, a borderline sociopath.
Yes, but these bands write interesting and melodic folk tunes. I love folk music and slow per se music, it is not the tempo that I object to, you can be extremely loud, fast and wimpy (see Glam Metal). I guess what I am saying if you are going to be wimpy, you better be interesting and IMO which is all we have, I do not feel these bands I complain about are. Ah but that is the beauty of music, it is all subjective. Also adding to the equation is the repitition, these bands I complain about also have something else in common, they are played all.....the......time and if I am going to hear it all the time, it better be outstanding. As for Arcade Fire, I just think they suck ass and to see them live would just mean they play exciting and explosive suck ass music. Again just my opinion as you have yours. If you disagree, I do not say you are inaccurate and ludicrous, I just say that is your opinion and it differs from mine. BTW, as you might guess, I love the UFC and all mixed martial arts!

No music has ever rubbed the me the wrong way more than this. I consider it my duty to log on and complain. RP is off now and I am listening to the Dead Boys to cleanse my aural palate. And for what it's worth, I am a financial contributor. I think that gives me the right to bitch about this song - over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...
Does not sound like Slayer.

I agree, I dont like this song actually but theres no need to get personal in your comments, and no killing!

Yes, they are part of a scary, yes scary, trend of wimpy bands that are proliferating RP with great frequency. Bands such as Bands of Horses, Muse, Decemberists, Arcade Fire and the like. It would be ok every now and then, but seriously. I feel ya.

Nice. I'll give it a 7, but a much bigger 7 than, say, a Suzanne Vega 7.
Sounds a bit like Arcade Fire.
Interesting concepts in there, but layered with too many "beeps" for me. That aspect gets on my nerves.

Wow - that's a very scary and unnerving comment, Photo-John. I hope you don't react like this to, oh, a cloudy day, or someone who looks at you wrong. IMO, anyone who ever WANTS to kill might have a couple of screws loose...
Makes me want to kill. I am done with RP for the day.

Life out of balance. I suppose that ants at warp-speed might be slightly imbalanced... But then, how do I know that what the ants are experiencing isn't completely normal for them, and I'm the one out of balance?

Okay, I'm a dork. I really like this song, despite all the other stuff written about it. It still reminds me of an anthill at warp-speed, but it's amazing anyway.

I really wish I could like this song.
Masterful composition, virtuoso techniques, delightful syncopation...
but the lyrics and vocals are somehow inane and pretentious at the same time.
Ho-Hum (what a bummer)

bumping my 6 to an 8! multiple reasons
Didn't notice the transition between the 2 songs...
Cloud Cult - No One Said It Would Be Easy
Sia - Breathe Me
Juste saw it in the playlist that the song changed
very nice !

very nice !I get an image in my mind of a speeded-up video of an ant farm. I like the song a lot, though...

Who knew you could have so much fun with a sequencer? Love it.
Thought it was Modest Mouse.

Isn't part of this song used in the UPS, white boarding commercials? All I can hear when it starts up is..."what can brown do for you..."
Aaaaaarrgh!

I will pay $20.00 to never have to hear this song again. It's ok for a one time listen but this seems to be "in heavy rotation" on RP
The beginning is beyond annoying.........
Please Bill can we give this one a rest for a bit?
Otherwise, great job ! and thanks for all you do
If RP would institute a program where you could sponsor a song to never be played again, this would be first on my list.

It's official - I'm tired of this song, especially the at-first-endearing-but-now-grating blips and beeps.

The mosquito buzzing around my bedroom as I try to go to sleep is less annoying than this song.

Listening this time around...this song makes me dizzy!
Arpeggiator on the piano, way cool! Not impressed with the vocals, though.
Sia "Breathe Me" -> this! Devastating (in the good, choking back tears, way). Well done, Bill.

I really wish I could vote something less than 1 so this might be taken out of the rotation.
