My gears they grind
More each day
And I feel like
They're gonna grind away
And the city blocks
They drive me wild
They're never ending
Mile after mile
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you
It's heaven on earth
In her embrace
Her gentle touch
And her smiling face
I'm just one wishing
That I was a pair
With someone
Oh somewhere
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you
All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think he's here to stay
What more can I do
I'm wringing myself dry
And I can't afford to lose
One more teardrop from my eye
More each day
And I feel like
They're gonna grind away
And the city blocks
They drive me wild
They're never ending
Mile after mile
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you
It's heaven on earth
In her embrace
Her gentle touch
And her smiling face
I'm just one wishing
That I was a pair
With someone
Oh somewhere
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you
All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think he's here to stay
What more can I do
I'm wringing myself dry
And I can't afford to lose
One more teardrop from my eye

pure love for this piece.
Oh wow - that voice! That phrasing! Drives me crazy ever since I first heard them on "The Leftovers"
soooo good
Always lifting & refreshing.
Good combo in my neck of the woods.

It´s the Black Keys with their Album Brothers, and the song is callled, Too Afraid to Love You. I Rated it with an 8. But because it´s that kind of groovy i´m thinking about giving it a nine the next time!
Nice! Who are these guys and what is the name of this album?

I m New on this radio...you have great songs..
Fantastic song. That harpsichord. The song oozes griminess and I love it.
I really like them, but, this is not one of their best tunes! ...lousy recording quality!
Oh good, it's that one Black Keys song will distorted vocals! You know, that one...

Listening to this album brings me back to the days I spent in Spain. Walking along the coastline, smoking cigarettes as the summer breeze blows. Ended up walking for an hour or so just because the album felt so cinematic. Love to hear it. 9 from me!
damn this song has been a fav of mine for years and now after some messed up experiences i get it XO
bye bye blissful ignorance

Yes...You can do so much with GarageBand! Let's insert the Fuzzulator 3.0 on EVERYTHING!!!! YUCK !!!!!!!!
I doubt these guys release stuff recorded with Garage Band very often. They're whole point is that vintage, analog sound - to a fault. This album was recorded at the famed Muscle Shoals studio. Still, their music doesn't do much for me either.

When they went arena rock from club rock they kinda lost some grit.
Sure hope they are back to their awesome best like this stuff on the next album. Just 1 let down so far so I won't be putting them in the arctic radiohead bin just yet.

I don't get tired of hearing this song. I miss my ex :(
Amazing to hear a new original sound!
I picked up this album about a month ago... Amazing to me how much it sounds like the Dr. John album Dan produced around then...

It's cool to see that someone is using the Cooper Black typeface again, haven't noticed it on too many covers since Pet Sounds or L.A. Woman.
Anyhow, this tune's pretty cool.
If it were not for teenagers, I doubt we'd have rock music at all. I doubt this station would even exist.

The Black Keys just keep getting better - especially live. If you half like the music and can see them live don't miss it.

it has a goin' out of my mind feel...in the same realm as Gene Pitney's, HeartBreaker (1968). ArbiterOfGoodTaste wrote:First time listening to this on headphones, and it's better than in the car. I love the keyboards and the wah-wah guitar lines coming in and out of the background.

My 17-year-old got to see The Black Keys (and Florence and the Machine) last week at Summerfest in Milwaukee. She said the Keys were mesmerizing. I am a deep, moldy green with envy.

Just love these guys!
Like the 5.1 sound more than the song and the bass,the bass..
I am not a fan of the crunchy, scratchy rock ala White Stripes and these guys, but do like it when they go slow.

For some reason I lump them in with the White Stripes: each album has one or two songs I really do like a whole lot. Then there's some other stuff. I haven't spent any money on the Black Keys tho so at least I'm learning. I should just go to iTunes and grab what I like.

Sounds like The Black Keys should hang out more with DJ Shadow. Gives similar atmosphere to his tunes, also using the harpsichord or clavecimbel to give the music that eery ghostly feeling.
Very nice!

For as much as I love the bass, I don't think it's lacking here.
Bass,anyone,I have plenty to go around ! Love this !
This is funny, I bought it for my husband for a b-day gift mostly because I wanted it and, of course, I wanted him to get into it and let these guy's music grow on him as it did me.

BUY THIS ALBUM! The whole thing has a serious grove that rules.
I don't know about a "grove" - I picture this CD as a dense wood full of interesting byways and curious flora and fauna :). I bought it on the strength of what I'd heard of the Black Keys on RP and haven't been disappointed. Every song is varied and interesting, often with sudden key and tempo changes that really grab your attention. This is one of the less strong numbers on it but is still worth 7 points from the Nottingham jury, which awards 9 for the whole CD.

Had to bump this up from an 8 to a 9. Amazing!
Nice set this morning!
This entire album is just terrific, even when he is singing a sad song, and most of their songs are sad, I get a silly smile on my face just because they are so good.
Such a great up and coming band. I got into their last record over a year ago and now they've been making a big splash in the mainstream. A bit too overplayed on FM and other media, but they deserve all the exposure they want.

Pink Floyd (of the "Shine on" period) have nothing, noooooooooooooooooooothing WHATSOEVER
to do with the "Keys" - nothing. NO THING!!!
Play Grand-Daddy's favourite - then you let the KEYS tell you how wrong and endlessly BOOORING
the 80 years olds are! I am looking for the right explanation - hard to find in another language!
I hear "Crazy Diamond" (the title+lyrics alone is pure madness) and see 12.000 aged Hippies. Bold,
pony-tail, earring (or two), silly tattoo, wrinkled and a pityful Hippy-Chick sitting by their side - both of them
slow-motion headbanging to the "1-beat-per-minute" sound of this retirement-home band!
Yes, true - I hate them. But most of all I hate what they stand for!
Now a secret: Once I loved FLOYD and especially "Crazy Diamond" Yes - I did. I admit it!
How many years ago was that? 50? 30 at least! For me some 20!
Comparing them and their songs to modern-intellgent music makes me nothing but...
bitterly smile! Mostly about what fools all those must be, that rate this "Hippy-bull" more than a 5!
You could have given this an 8 when it came out. Give itmore than 5 today is retro in a very very stupid-old way!
Common - do what you like! Leave me alone. I give a shit what you like!!

and what UK station do you listen to instead for a better playlist
There isn't one, as you well know - FM in the UK is even more sh1te than in the US, and I gather from posts on here that that's sh1te in a big bucket. I owe RP a lot and am happy to cough up my monthly contribution, but there are times when it hits, for me, a seriously barren patch, hence my wee cri de coeur. That's usually balanced by sequences of unending brill music, and on balance (as my ratings distro shows) most music on RP is the dog's bollocks. It's just occasional sequences that are, to my ears, the dog's breakfast.
The Black Keys are growing on me. I love the ironic minimalism of the cover, which likely cost a fortune to commission from some design agency, and the back-to-basics no-frills rock of this lot. Maybe time to wield the plastic again to add to the CD collection, which has burgeoned mightily since I started listening to RP.

I am loving every trak that RP has played off this album. Very cool retro sound. Looking forward to hearing more!
I have to admit that this song still rocks me in a kinda muzaky, commercially way. I think it's the thumping bass. I've alwas been a sucker for bass.....THanks, Bill. Play watcha will! It's always the musical adventure I enjoy listening to you
, even if occasionally it's a slightly dubious throwback like Enya.
