Jeremy flies
Hoping to keep
The sun from his eyes
East from the city
And down to the cave
In search of a master
In search of a slave
Three hours from London
Giacomo's free
Taking his woes
Down to the sea
In search of a lifetime
To tell when he's home
In search of a story
That's never been known
Three hours from speaking
Everyone's flown
Not wanting to be
Seen on their own
Three hours is needed
To leave from them all
Three hours to wonder
Three hours to fall
(Kidsmoke)
Arresting harmonies and a good beat. A solid 7.
8 for me. great treatment of great material
I would prefer the option to judge them on a case by case basis. Andy Bey's excellent cover of river man for example - I would not proscribe that.
I'd never heard a Nick Drake cover. The very thought of one is an abomination. But if this had been played in an 80s discotheque, I'd have danced to it.
Ilona Knopfler does IMHO a very good cover of River Man. Give it a listen.
After one listen, I'll start this one out at a 7 (the original is of course a 10).
You can be less douchy (I guess) but don't leave only positive reviews. I'm sick of all the cheerleaders in these comments beating down people who have every right to express an opinion about the music the don't like too. Any shitty song they choose to play on this station (we know most of them aren't, of course) will inevitably have countless fawning accolades in the comments claiming genius, and anyone who dares call it out for being shitty is pilloried for being negative; told to keep their opinion to themselves and PSD. They don't realize how negative THEY make the comments, by seeking to eliminate opinions they don't agree with. By not wanting it to be inclusive. And I listen to the stream on a player, so PSD isn't an option.
As for this song, it's funky and weird, and therefore I'd say it has a worthy place on RP, but yeah, I can't really argue with someone who thinks it should be nuked from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Now watch the @$$holes thumb-down my comment, like clockwork...
Actually, your comment is quite compelling. It contains a strong argument for negative comments on songs (inclusiveness) and against negative comments on comments (nourishing negativity). So thanks for that.
That said, negative comments on songs are rarely as entertaining as "should be nuked from space" which has a hyperbolic humor in it that helps, or should help, swallow the comment in case you don't agree. It is clear, and it's funny, imho. Someone put a little thought in what to say and how to say it. Your average 'this is shite', 'I hate Radiohead', 'Bill you shouldn't play this', 'PSD' are a waste of everyone's brain-time, and I think that's why many listeners feel negative about negative comments. They are often wholly empty, even if they are someone's opinion that should be included. Granted, the same goes for senseless cheerleading that shuns anyone who does not agree.
So, I guess we'd all be better off when, if you have something to say, you put a little effort into saying it, and don't just blurt out a fart in one direction or another.
As far as the song goes, no problem with the nuking. Perhaps he should just stick to PJH's side, their collaborations generally receive straight 8's from me.
Kinda feeling a Yo Lo Tengo vibe with this one.
But having read some of the comments, enough to find out that it's a cover of a Nick Drake song, the original of which i had never heard, i went in search of it.
So if you're like i was, and you're wondering what the original sounds like, it's here -
Three Hours - Nick Drake
I think it is the near-robotic drum beat.
Not gonna poo-poo it. Just not for me.
Oh I get it now. Nick Drake should have just written songs for other artists and not performed them himself.
I wish I could click a button that released a boxing glove on a spring from whatever device you wrote this comment on. As it is, I'll have to settle for a thumbs down.
too many covers RP - I get it -probably cheaper to license
Is this technically a cover or a remix? I can't quite tell.
I doubt it's cheaper, but even if it was, I'm sure that is very low on William's priority list. it is simply that William has a thing for covers. He enjoys them and it is kinda fun (usually).
I've always found Nick Drake boring, but John Parish gives it a nice lift.

100 out of 10 💙

I'm trying to be less douche-y in my comments, only leaving positive reviews and just PSD-ing when I don't like it. But I have to say that this is an absolute travesty and should have been nuked from space.

That you, Ripley?

I wouldn't go as far as nuking it, but it doesn't DO anything - apart from repeat itself.
Changing behaviour is a process. Baby steps,
The song is only about four and a half minutes long. It just feels like three hours.
Interesting cover! Not sure if I like it yet, but hopefully, it'll get lots of plays on RP to help me decide.
I'm in on the second listen.
Not really sure why...

I've decided I definitely like it! I always find Aldous Harding's voice to be a bit creepy and jarring (in a good way), and for me, her vocals really make this song work.

Jose Gonzalez does an excellent Cello Song cover
I do like it.
Never been first to comment. Only like to say positive things about the good humans who make music. So sounds pretty good for driving long stretches. BTW who's the singer?
It's Aldous Harding.
