long ride, that you are taking me on
a long strange ride
long ride, that you are taking me on
a long strange ride
keep sunrise, you can forget sunset
i want to see the sun in the middle of the sky
'cause the dawn and the dying light
have gathered too much meaning
and i want to feel numb
there must be something else
we haven't found on this long strange ride
long night and even longer day
i'm so sorry, i've been travelling blind
high time you rest your weary eyes
love, it's been a long strange ride
there must be something else
we haven't found on this long strange ride
a long strange ride
long ride, that you are taking me on
a long strange ride
keep sunrise, you can forget sunset
i want to see the sun in the middle of the sky

there must be something else

How we miss your posts. R.I.P. dear Ann. 😢
Bumped fro 8 to 9. Dang - this song just gets better with every listen. The vocals that intertwine and gather strength, each from the other, the comfortable groove they have, and the banjo and fiddle - so heartbreakingly beautiful. This might end up being a 10. Love it.

How does RP find songs that include the banjo and it does not annoy the crap out of me? LOL
Guitar is reminiscent of that song from Lilo and Stitch - Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride
This song is featured in my favorite Ski move: "Snow Falling on Sinners." I adore it.

Gave it an 8 because they are from Australia
Painfully slow
I love that sparse banjo.

Tune is totally different, but the instrumentation and overall vibe are definitely in the same vein.
this so much reminds me of the song from the Irish film,
"Once" "Falling Slowly" (Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová)

This sounds very much like The Wonder Stuff track on Never Loved Elvis. Can't remember the song title. 
Hi there from South Africa, good song

So much amazing alt-country coming out of Oz! The Audreys from Adelaide... The Waifs from Albany... I really like all I've heard on RP
So beautiful. I have to learn to play this.
I like near guesses.
I just upped my rating to godlike.

Seems a great time, well an appropriate topic to share article, "What Turned Jaron Lanier Against the Web?" Bit long, some internet history vs humanity. I appreciate the comments and take on lurking trolls. Very insightful perspective into how the internet and the anonymity it provides can bring out the dark side, 'the digital barbarism'. I really enjoyed reading this article while my daughter's tonsils were getting yanked out, from dates you can tell it took, well stuck with me long enough to find it again.

We're all stuck with each other, I'm afraid—even the people who demand that other members be banned from RP boards. Frankly if owned this station I'd turf out everyone making such demands but there's something a little too recursive in that policy.

This song could possibly be the most dreariest song played on RP awfull
Instead of "there must be" x3...I was hearing "war nazi"....x3. I am embarrassed to admit that I add now to the misheard lyrics community.
I'd just like to say, despite the blathering idiocy to which I am complicit on this page...THIS SONG IS AWESOME!
Taasha Coates can sing to me anytime.
So annoying when the conversation has moved entirely away from the music. Especially when it is as good as this.
The song that is not the petty conversation about whether peoples feelings have been hurt. I consider posts here a lot like poetry - better out than in and its more cathartic i.e. I don't expect anyone else to take my opinion seriously. For fucks sake I often don't.

Fred,
Your opinions count too. Keep 'em coming.......please.
No affiiation to Nottingham, nor Fred, just appreciate diversity of opinion and dislike trolls.
ps: my $.10c don't feed 'em by giving them a target - there's enough idiots who will register under different aliases just to get you/anybody who opposes them out.
So, Fred. You now have to weigh the positives votes against the negatives.............should balance the scales somewhat?

Getting old - the song, not me!
This one can bring a lump to the throat indeed! Perfectly, simply, gorgeously sung and arranged...haunting, emotional, and TRUE!
It's a good song, but I swear I know a song that uses the same exact riff (or whatchamacallit). I just can't remember the name and it's killing me.
Edit: Okay, it might be Given To Fly from Pearl Jam (especially the solo at the end), but I still remember as if it was an entire song built upon that melody. I'm still searching :(

Lovely mood setter. Evocative and wistful but not sad.
Simply beautiful. Nice harmonies and simple acoustic accompaniment.

Indeed, we all do
