What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Turned on to them about the time of this release, by my daughter. Sometimes the young folk come through, along with
Ireland. This is the groups third album, which went to #4 here, and was a #2 in the UK and a #1 in Australia. Their
first two albums were actually bigger hits here. This one eventually went platinum, on the strength of singles Free
To Decide, Salvation, and When You're Gone, none top 10 but had respectable chart showings. Vocalist Dolores
O'Riordan sounds just dreamy when she slows it down on When You're Gone, and powerful when she kicks it up a notch.
This album is said to be a departure from their previous two, with more guitar and more social lyrics. Missed them
first two, so I don't know first hand. This one works for me though, with three love tracks and one bomb. Best is
When You're Gone which I can just melt into, with the finger snapping, doo-wopping retro sound. Electric Blue is
the bomb, nice church music intro, after that all I can make out is Electric Blue. After reading up, I would
probably like the first two albums better than this one. Oh well, maybe in a discount bin someday. The group is
scheduled for a new album sometime this year.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Electric Blue

Best Track - When You're Gone

Hold onto love that is what I do now that I’ve found you.
And from above everything’s stinking, they’re not around you.
And in the night, I could be helpless,
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything’s complex,
There’s nothing simple, when I’m not around you.
But I’ll miss you when you’re gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby!
And it’s going to carry on, that is what I do. Hey, baby…
Hold onto my hands, I feel I’m sinking, sinking without you.
And to my mind, everything’s stinking, stinking without you.
And in the night, I could be helpless,
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything’s complex,
There’s nothing simple, when I’m not around you.
But I’ll miss you when you’re gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby!
And it’s going to carry on, that is what I do. hey, baby…
