Take your time now
Feel like standing still
Get your barings
Until

When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown
When the day is here
All you got to do is slowdown

Full of tension
'Cause you love the chase
You just need your
Own space

When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown
When the day is here
All you got to do is slowdown

when you had enough
Of the fastest stuff to slowdown
When you see from space
Must be a mess slowdown

When the day is here
All you got to do is slowdown
When the day is here
All you got to do is slowdown

When it's hard out there
And you gonna bail, slowdown
You just seem sometimes
To forget your mind slowdown
Down down down down down

That is I steadily like the '90s for. Loungy, laid back, philosophing about what's worth realy.

I hear some overtones (undertones?) of Morcheeba in there as well. Smooooth...

FROZEN MAIN PLAYER ALERT

 

Yes I've noticed this too, really annoying!! It keeps getting stuck on the Morcheba song and not playing.  If you click 'PSD' it works but you have to do this every time at the end of each track...{#Frustrated}

I found it ludicrous that they got rid of Skye Edwards (vocals). She received "a phone call from our manager saying that it was over."
They replaced her, but it wasn't the same. She's back with them now.

The "Fragments of Freedom" album has about 2 cuts that get air time on RP, which is why I went out and spent my hard-earned sheckles on it (ok, only about $7 used), only to hear that those 2 RP plays were the only ones worth listening to more than twice.  The rest of the album:  Mehh....  Other very positive reviews built my hopes up far past what that album delivered — win some, lose some.

That said, I liked this cut.

Life is too short to pigeonhole talented people (or any people)... There are things to do, places to go, people-to-annoy-!

Get busy... and appreciate what come your way...

It does sound like Gilmour's guitar "sound" - probably a Stratocaster, but the overall music has more of a "soul" sound than Floyd tended to have.

I really like Morcheeba (late on a Friday night when I am chillin) but this isn't their best effort by far. On some songs the vocalist has some haunting dirges well worth listening too.

Agreed on both. I quite like Morcheeba's trippy vibe, but there are about a million other bands that sound as good.
