Baby, I've been waiting for you
Don't run away now
You've got nothing to lose
Baby, I feel so alone
And I need someone
To call my own

'Cause my love has just left me
And I need someone new
Who can tell me forever
And my eyes are on you

Baby, oh baby, oh baby
Come to me

Baby, I've been waiting on you
Don't run away now
You've got nothing to lose
Baby, I feel so alone
And I need someone
To call my own

When your brain predicts "Come to Me" by Koop as "Avalon" by Roxy Music is winding down, does that mean you're consuming too much RP?

Probably. But I ain't going anywhere.


Same mix 5 years later. Sad!

Yeah - and maybe time to ditch this set list?  Unpredictability is the reason I like radio.

Not too many contemporary songs feature a trombone solo, but it seems to work well for this group.

A few years ago I worked in a hotel that used an iPod Shuffle for their lobby background music.  If I recall correctly it had 18 songs on it.  This was one of them.  If you just passed through the lobby briefly a few times during your stay, you were fine, but otherwise you started to notice songs repeating.  And if you worked there every day, it got extremely annoying!  We put up with that playlist for at least a year!

I was really annoyed by this song but never actually listened to it other than at a low level in the echo-y hotel lobby.  Now that I hear it on RP I realize that it's actually enjoyable.  I like the vocals.  I definitely cringed the first time I heard it on here but I'm glad that RP was able to "fix" this song for me!

Bill, Keep this in your rotation.  It is very uplifting.  Dont' know why I like it so much.  Probably goes back to something I was doing when I first heard it (which was here on RP).

Now that is one great story. Shows your open minded even about music that was ruined for you in the worst of ways (being forced to listen repeatedly to ANYthing is a form of torture to me, as I'm pretty much unable to block music out.)
Thanks for sharing !

One of the first songs I heard for the first time on Radio Paradise that hooked me for good. Rated it 9 then and it's only improved with time.

Edit: The video is GREAT! Yukimi Nagano reminds me of Satine + China Doll (Nicole Kidman and Natalie Mendoza characters) in "Moulin Rouge" (2001); makes this good song even better.

The songs have a very similar feeling, though, it's easy to confuse the two.

For a moment I was petrified it was Mambo No. 5. Then the vocals started, and I was okay.

But now I fear it has been tainted in my mind by the Bega. All I'm hearing now is a little bit of Monica, et al.

Il faut simplement poser le question à M. Google... !

"Baby, I've been waiting for you
Don't run away now
You've got nothing to lose
Baby, I feel so alone
And I need someone
To call my own
'Cause my love has just left me
And I need someone new
Who can tell me forever
In my eyes I own you (?)
Baby, oh baby, oh baby
Come to me
Baby, I've been waiting on you
Don't run away now
You've got nothing to lose
Baby, I feel so alone
And I need someone
To call my own
'Cause my love has just left me
And I need someone new
Who can tell me forever
In my eyes I own you (?)
Baby, oh baby, oh baby
Come to me"


C'est un autre exemple d'une chanson de Koop qui semble d'être très heureuse, mais qui est, en fait, très triste...! Mais je l'adore!!

Yukimi Nagano, the singer on this track, has become my latest favorite. Check out her band Little Dragon for some deep, soulful vibes. NOthing like the perky peppy pop of this track (click here)
Posted 16 years ago by kaosmonkey    [ Reply ]
Saw these guys play at Katalin last week. Great stuff, though they were a bit unsure in the start. This being their fourth live session. One reason is that they are two DJs making their tracks with pure sampling. Add a singer and they have complete song. So for each live session they have to scrounge up session musicians and whatever singer they have handy. =) This evenings singer was Hilde Louise Asbjörnsen
