Wait in line
Till your time
Ticking clock
Everyone stop

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me

Do you believe
In what you see
There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe in
What you see

Nine to five
Living lies
Everyday
Stealing time
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

Do you believe
In what you feel
It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see

And I'll shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not be seen
And I'll hide away for another day

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

Six Feet Under soundtrack....most excellent!
First heard this while watching House.

Love that RP plays it!

Yup.  Too bad RP doesn't consider a channel over on the You of Tube.  But then again that beast of a site does like their commercial inserts, don't they?  Even so there's no rule RP must follow that says they can't do this here and also go for a wider audience the likes of the Tube could bring.  Plus it could open a faucet of revenue to them, too.  Anyway, just some thoughts.  
 
I can see it already, comments full of "come on Bill, play some DJ Khaled/Drake/Post Malone/Ice Spice/etc", and somehow (maybe due to more exposure and more media people on board) those suggestions would get acted on.  That would be when RP dies.
I'm hearing shades of Hooverphonic....nice.

Like so many others, this was one of the songs that was a gateway into the larger Radio Paradise experience for me.
I’d never heard of Z7 — and I just melted into them. Soon after,  I was listening to Radio Paradise daily. 
I couldn’t get enough. 

I still can’t. 

(Thankfully, there’s no antidote needed)

I feel so sorry for people who walk around RP-less. I promote RP regularly — hope you do too.!

Welcome, Daniel.
My first exposure to RP was 'Psychotic Reaction' (of all things). Buddy of mine had it on - I'd never heard it and was blown away. He was a fan of surf music like me, but I'd never heard of Count Five (blasphemy, I know). Anyway, that was the beginning of my spiral...
c.

Sound like french group Air....

Indeed! I'm a monthly contributor.  I get that some folks feel they can't spare $.... but (realistically) so many people CAN.... ah well... I was there too, at the beginning.

Now, however, it's a privilege and (a slight?) badge of honor to regularly support them.

C'mon, peeps! Throw RP some recurring $$... for the sake of music lovers worldwide!!

Likewise. I remember thinking... "Damn! I haven't heard ANYthing like this before.... this is a great station! I want to share this music  and station with others! (and I did/do!).

RP is my "Life Soundtrack." So completely, thoroughly grateful to have found this amazing musical experience!

Zero 7 = Air ?

i hear a synth moment there that is similar, at the same time the chorus reminds me of an old Luscious Jackson tune. music is funny that way.
[ really didn't understand what all the Garden State fuss was about - but i like Wes Anderson movies...personal tastes vary, don't they?]

Agreed! I've learned about numerous acts I didn't know before. Wonderful source for passive exploration!

Hi, I'm one of the two people who downvoted it. It's a pretty cool gif but has nothing to do with this song. If you have a problem with me, we can meet in the alley...

One of my fav sound tracks. 
If you dig this song and I do... check out the Garden State movie song track.  
Go on then, have an extra point from me.  Growing it is...

The very first cool track I found on RP 20 years ago.


I first logged on to RP (under a different moniker) back in 2006, and like you, I found these chill-out groups to be what first hooked me on RP, then some "old" classics tied the knot that has kept me roped to these airwaves.  Now 17 years later I'm still a-listening.  My 9 rating on this one hasn't budged since then either. 

Funny reading my old-old comments, I tended to be more snarky and negative, and as I've gotten older I've mellowed out a lot.  Still a bit subtle and sarcastic, though I do try to remain positive and thankful for this musical oasis we're all blessed to enjoy.

Long Live Radio Paradise!!

How did I ever miss this band? At the first listening I was sure it is song from Air, then I realized.. I need to catch up on their music, thanks Radio Paradise!




SO Air.

Simply the greatest chill-out album ever made…in my very humble opinion.
 rocklandlove wrote:

This tune is disturbingly similar to Sheryl Crow's "Home" - from the melody, to the voice - even to the instrumentation and production...



It is somewhat similar in parts - not "disturbingly" so to me.  The instrumentation is quite different - there are no acoustic guitars or slide guitars in this.  Different chord progression.
Turned a Canadian hitchhiker onto this when I picked her up in the North Cascades years ago. It was sweet not talking much on our way down to Seattle, just listening and appreciating together.

I first heard this on a Ministry of Sound Chillout Mix 2002. Always takes me back.
Whenever I find myself in a long line - like last March when I sat in seemingly endless online queues trying to get a vaccine appointment - this song just starts playing in a loop in my brain.  Of course, in retrospect, I should have just waited a couple months and then someone would have been at my door with three flavors of vaccine and a gift card . . .

Smooth enough to be considered the endless frictionless surface from your physics textbook



You got a mention from Bill G. Ultimate complement. 
A bit of Cinematic Orchestra and Air....

(needless to say: solid 8)
If a track makes me feel like i liquefy, i shall give it a 9.
Reminds me of Luscious Jackson... and you could play them anytime too!

Wasn't sure what I thought of this song when I first heard it but now I love it. Looks like RP just cost me some more money.

Thank you, BillG, for introducing this CD to me.  It now forms a staple of my "entertaining guests" play list.

Soft spot for Z7 as they were playing in an Apple Store shortly after this release. I asked what was playing on the 'latest speakers' and shop guy said "Radio Paradise, you should check them out." The rest is history. 
 
Nice!

Nope! Still a great movie. It's one of those timeless kind of sleeper films. With an amazing soundtrack.

Perfect

I so hope Illinois will legalize recreational use this year... I've got some bipolar that could use it... I asked the tattoo guys about scoring some after they recommended different varieties and they looked at me like a snitch. Hell, I only asked because my Psych said it would probably help!!!

Stunning album to chill to. Open that bottle close your eyes and let this album flow over you.
So...I'm currently hearing Sufjan Stevens - Chicago when this came up. Not complaining tho

Ditto for me, though I have since bought their complete discography. I find the music relaxing and distracting - I love it.

Sia does sing on this album, but the vocalist on this song is Sophie Barker.

Have to confess, never met anybody like that in Brighton.
Except my wife, that is. 
They have medication for that...
Such a mellow tune
I can't believe this album is 15 years old!! I still rank this high in my top 10 for all-time cool album.
I agree with the last 5 comments. First heard it in Garden State. Always LOVE hearing this song!
Such a cool tune, such a cool album. Yet more decent music coming out of the UK!!

I finally found out who this is. Thanks for costing me even more money.
I first heard Zero 7 when I saw Garden State. This song drew me in.

Perfect 10. 
Such a great segue song.  I imagine this is what was playing in the 'Waiting Place' as described by Seuss in 'All The Places You'll Go'

This song is so mellow I don't really even want to move my hands over the keyboard anymore...
One of those songs that when they come on I have to make sure I've rated it at least an 8 or 9 - love this tune! 
perfect, mellow, sunny, breezy
 
three 9's in a row...thanks a lot!!
This song always makes me wish I was driving up the 101 between Ventura and Santa Barbara, with the sun making dazzling sun diamonds on the ocean, and the sea breeze blowing through the car windows.....
Bonobo followed by Zero 7 and... suddenly I can breathe despite the busy day. {#Meditate}
