It seems like every story told about us isn't meant to be
We fly on wings of gold all the way back home to me

But what I'm thinking of just this time
Why don't you lay your head down in my arms, in my arms
Lay your head down in my arms, in my arms

You know my love this was no dream of mine
But the way you ride those waves makes me want to follow you blind

And what I'm thinking of just this time
Why don't you lay your head down in my arms, in my arms.
Lay your head down in my arms.
Lay your head down in my arms, in my arms
Lay your head down, in my arms.

I think it sucks.  Well, maybe not sucks, but I don't like it. Her voice is kinda sexy, but not very good.  And there's certainly a bit that sounds just like "Waiting for My Man", which I'd rather hear.

A bit of a Beatles riff near the end very briefly "1-2-3-4-5-6-7 All good children go to heaven". (Not right at the very end, though that's close too.)

Everyone disagrees with you so I just thought I should say I can hear it.

Not in my ears, and I would LOVE to have more Laurie on RP.
I'm with the Lou Reed channeling crowd in this case. ;)

Sure sounds like it, don't it.  Even if it's not, I'd rather have her singing than Lou Reed any day.

Boring song, but she is a beautiful woman.

It's lovely, but I'm betting it'd piss me off sufficiently if I was PMSing.

Same vibe, intended that way if the album's minimal, Velvetish opener, "It's All a Lie" is any indication, except maybe for the polyrhythmic handclaps heard here.  And that's great.  Composed by the lady herself.  Her albums in French are great too.

Keren Ann got my music turned up, no my head laid down....and that's a good thing too.  Nice Harmonica, sweet suite of instruments.

She gets played a bit on CBC2.  Reminds me somewhat of Holly Golightly (the singer, not the character in Breakfast at Tiffany's).  And that's a good thing.

I uploaded this months ago. Bill accepted it right away before it went on the LRC Limbo. Then it never got any airplay at all. Minutes ago, I sent him the request and voilà!, it got served in two heartbeats. Thanks Bill, I really feel this is a good tune and it looks like RPers like it too. I often read in the boards that the station was often on autopilot. That is understandable, but to me, thousands of miles away from Paradise Ca, what happened this morning put PR in a league of it's own.

Nice. I like it.

Never heard of her before this. Seems I've been missing out. Thanks RP, as always!
