there was always a moment there when i knew
you always gave instalments
always knew u concentrated and grew
and i believe in reinvention
do you believe that life is holding the clue
take away all the lonely moments
give me full communication with you
your smile shine a little light, alright
dont hide, shine a little light
give up on your pride
do you believe in reinvention
do you believe thar life is holding the clue
any way to face the silence
any way to face the pain that kills you
your smile shine a little light, alright
dont hide, shine a little light
give up on your pride
give up on your pride, the moment's gone
give up on your smile, life is long
so i seen a bad dream, that you were gone
i got bitten on the soul, my blood will run
give up on your pride, the moment's gone
give up on your smile, life is long
so i seen i bad dream, you were gone
you're bitter and cold, my blood will run
Sounds a bit like Jerry Harrison's Man with a Gun
I was thinking the same thing and scrolling through the comments to make sure I hadn't already posted that, but then I saw your post. Casual Gods was a great album, btw.
make a little love ....
That begs the obvious question - which is THE best song on RP?
The next one...
Prolly my most favorite album cover on RP...
Yes it is...Reminds me of the Apple Series "Severance"
It's been about a year now since this song entered my consciousness...and a welcome inclusion it is! Being a man of few (spoken) words, I was able to use this 5:37 track to speak volumes to my loved ones during a particularly low time...and it shined for sure! 10 rated and Long Live RP!!
I bought the cassette and it is running hot in my dobly deck
I hear a little Billy Idol influence.
From Charmed Life album?
Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight...
you gotta admit nit borrows a bit
2nd best song on RP.
Ok, been asked already, c'mon and tell us your BEST song?
I hear a little Billy Idol influence.
probably something from Charmed Life album, not sure witch song..
I learned it on my accoustic and it still sounds great.
Get your ears checked.
after listening to a bunch of the tracks on this disc on various places on the web, I found a used cd in the UK... and it wasn't cheap. But I bought it anyways, a good move on my part. The vocals are so smooth, and the beats on these tracks are sooo solid - sort of like a love child of Shriekback and Chemical Brothers.

Ha ha! For balance. . . I LOVE this song and it needs much more playtime.
So right you r ....let's bounce together then

That's fine in my book so a solid 8 from me!
Too bad.
Just ONE of Bills superpowers
My thoughts exactly! Well not so much "sounds like" but sends one's memory back to both thinking: "cover?"
Alabama 3
Absolutely. Gotta love it.
New Simple Minds???
U2/KC.
A thought so profound I cannot even get to the depths or height of such a concept. Even having life-cycled through both generations. Good job.
I see someone caught this before me. How freaking obvious can you get?
No kidding.
it means company of truth
'don't hide
shine a little light
give up on your pride'
Thank you coy!
love this song

It makes me drop whatever I'm doing and state "what the hell is playing? And why the fuck haven't I heard this before?"
Ya. Same sentiment here.
great band name, too
Half of the talent of Syntax is from a band called Fluke who have a very similar sound. Fluke have a large and amazingly good back catalogue. . . here
If you like this track then I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
No hay problemo. I would never suggest dubbing Almodovar, who I love. I have seen all his movies. It would not make sense to dub him really. Let me elaborate. I highly recommend Michael Haneke, the Austrian director. I've seen all his movies except one, Funny Games, which has two versions, both written and directed by him. The same script in fact, but one version he made in English, which I saw, but I have not seen the other version. A true masterpiece in my humble opinion. My point was that if I have a choice, I prefer to watch in my own language without subtitles. I don't like dubbing.
Funny Games is horrifying... isn't it? I started the foreign language version and ended up fast forwarding through the last 2/3 because it just got too sadistic
Could not have said it better myself.
I somewhat disagree with your disagreement. I'd rather read subtitles. It's distracting to see the mouth speaking French, German or something else, but hear the language of English. It's watching dialogue out of sync with the lip movement. Part of the context of a foreign film in its original language is the nuance and inflection of the words. The German of Das Boot dubbed in English? Absolutely nein. The lovely French of Quatre Cent Coups or the Japanese of Rashomon washed out by a voice actor reading a script? No way. The rapid fire Spanish of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown lost in translation? No, gracias. As for the visuals of a film being the most important thing, yes, for the most part. But context and subtext reign and in some movies that is not necessarily more conveyed by action than by what people say to each other and how they say it in the original, even if the subtitles abridge the specific words. The enjoyment is not hindered but often enhanced by just hearing the language.

I have a few objections to this. I am a film buff, so I am not one of those illiterate people you cite. When you read subtitles in any film, you are really reading watered down text meant for ease in reading, and to allow the viewer to keep up with the film and still watch it. I generally disagree with you here. Watching text is not the same as watching a movie, and we lose too much by doing this. It's better than not watching the film at all, but there is nothing wrong with wanting to see the actors' expressions while speaking, among other aspects of the viewing experience. This is often much more important than the dialogue. The visuals of a film are the really important thing. This is hindered when reading subtitles.

Scrolling down I see lots of listeners heard one musical reference or another.
Sounds like he's channeling the late, great Michael Hutchence.

Me three.
Yup, I hear A3 (Alabama 3) working its way through this song.

for reinvention.
"...better than not watching the film at all..."
Yep. If they give you subtitles you miss some of the facial expressions but preserve the emotion in the actors' vocalizations. If they dub English over the native tongue you preserve the facial expressions but the inevitable mismatch between the visual and the aural can make a great performance seem cheesy.
And then sometimes reading the subtitles helps conceal production or performance flaws.
Of those trade-offs I'll usually take the subtitles, if I have choice...
Thank you. It is rare and cause for celebration indeed when anyone here agrees with me.
(please don't read any other posts by me , cuz you will probably not agree ever again! )
Sounds Eddie Vedderish.
I hope so! I bought this CD and there is only one song that doesn't create interest for me. Bought it because of RP
clicked 8 for just the intro... 10 before the chorus.
