You don't wanna go there
Let me lead you by the hand
You don't wanna be there
Over the sea and down to land

As I look into your eyes
I'll pay no mind
I found the way
To get inside you
I give you peace of mind

I might see you falling
I might see you falling
I might see you falling beautiful
This time

I don't see you falling
I don't see you falling
I don't see you falling beautiful
Sometimes

You don't wanna go there
Let me lead you by the hand
You don't wanna be there
Over the sea and down to land

As I look into your eyes
I'll pay no mind
I found the way
To get inside you
I give you peace of mind

I might see you falling
I don't see you falling
I might see you falling beautiful
This time

I don't see you falling
I don't see you falling
I don't see you falling beautiful
Sometimes

Here and again
And there you're
Falling, falling, falling,
Falling, falling, falling

I might see you falling
I might see you falling
I might see you falling beautiful
This time

I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling beautiful
Sometimes

I might see you falling
I might see you falling
I might see you falling beautiful
This time

I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling beautiful
Sometimes

How do you feel?
How do you feel?

I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling,

Corrupt, a plea for free will
An irresponsible horror show
It has been suggested
That this contradictory

Great seeing this played again - love the song, and with its music video it is oddly perfect - claustrophobic and strange and more than a little creepy. I'm actually going to head over to YouTube and watch it now...

The album as a whole is pretty decent - some top quality collaborations

Does anyone know the origin of the soundbite at the end ("a plea for free will . . . an irresponsible horror show")?

You can never go wrong with Unkle. Way of ahead of their time and it still has legs.

Unkle — Be There (w/ Ian Brown)

Nice set for a lazy, rainy evening....(the one I didn't grab: Afro Celt Soundsystem, Onward). sweet...

Would have mistaken them for Porcupine Tree. Is that good or bad? Not a particularly evocative tune. A good lounge lizard fav, though. Hoisting a vodka martini would be pleasurable to this, but I won't be driving down the highway letting this rip at 80 decibels.

Take a look at this:

Maybe interesting to see how much 6 seconds of music can do, even in this song...
Amen brothers!

Album was a bit hit-n-miss, but Rabbit In Your Headlights is an immense song with a fantastic video! Love it! This song I'd pretty good too though!

If Ian Brown were good at collaborating with guitarists, Stone Roses would still be together.

It's available via Amazon.com, if you just follow the link via RP.

However, it looks like this version of the song (w/ Ian Brown's vocals) is only available via the "Be There" single, which is selling for around $20. The instrumental of this song is actually on U.N.K.L.E.'s disc "Psyence Fiction", where it is called "Unreal".  
 

Actually, I just found the song on Ian Brown's disc "The Greatest", and the mp3 is available via Amazon for $0.99 (via Zune for $0.79).

Thank you! I knew I owned a version of this, but I couldn't place it. I thought it was DJ Shadow sampling himself.

You're not going to find much better than this for those slightly "altered states".

Haven't heard anything by this band before. The music's smooth and moody (my favorite) and the vocals are wonderful. I would listen to more just to get a better listen of the vocalist ... hope Unkle features him across the board but am guessin' no ....
If you like Ian Brown, he was in the Stone Roses and has a few solo CDs out. Quite good.

It's the beat. You're thinking of Clubbed to Death by Rob D. That would be nice here too.

Me too. The vocals sounds very much as an afterthought. Boring, predictable melody.

I might be dating myself but this totally reminds me of high school. Plus these guys are great. Psyence Fiction is a great album.

Yeah! More UNKLE, more Shadow! I'm a big Shadow/UNKLE fan and this is first time I've heard this track (with Ian brown). RP is the best. Will be keeping an eye out for this album. Does anyone know what the rest of this album is like, or who produces it?
Posted 20 years ago by shua    [ Reply ]
Yeeeah, dark and cool tones..... :meditate.gif: i get extra special kicks when listening UNKLE, don't actually know why (too much angst? ).... I was on a recent trip in London and bought "Psyence Fiction" from Picadilly Circus Tower Records --> Situation: really small-towner foreigner on an big city tour, amazed about colourfull urban street life ... and this stuff coming through earphones... just got that extra special chill-out feeling for a moment... If interested, check also their newest excellent album, "Never, Never Land", i think this band could be characterised as "Massive Attack goes Radiohead" .... Heavy and intensive great stuff... Warning: Consume it carefully, might make a day a bit too blue :umbrella.gif:

thanks so much for playing this one, RP! DJ Shadow's side-project with Mo'Wax's James Lavelle. Ian Brown of Stone Roses supplies the vocals on this track. doesnt get much cooler than this.
