Are the mp3's from Arno still available?
by Joseph Pagan 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

I tried downloading them, but realplayer says they're unable to locate those files after the computer acts like it's downloading the file. (shrug) I'm probably doing something wrong - I'm barely computer literate (hanging my head in shame). I was so looking forward to hearing the latest one from Arno. The first one was fa-boo. BTW, it's nice to see another old timer ;-) (I'm 38) on the list. My first exposure to Yello: "I love you" and "Vicous games" both in 1984-85. My first album: "Stella."

Lyrics for The Eye
by Mark Pulley 12 Jan '04

12 Jan '04

As nobody has posted any lyrics here from The Eye (apart from the French lyrics for Bougainville - thanks Greg), I thought I might put up what I hear (or think I hear). Feel free to correct / add / make comments / etc. If you decide to make changes, please don't quote the entire email, just select the appropriate sections, otherwise the reply will be unnecessarily big (particularly if you quote the entire digest!) I haven't bothered to repeat verses / phrases to save space - I'm sure you can work out where the verses fit. Words / phrases I am not sure about I have enclosed in (brackets) - these are either possible words I'm not sure about, or phonetic guesses that make a non-existent word - you might be entertained by the guesses, and it might help someone work out the correct words. [Square brackets] are used for comments. A gap with a line in it _________ simply means I've given up! PLANET DADA [I suspect the words don't mean anything, but there are some English words present, so I've included this song for completeness.] Back to (de-ha?) the (Rek-chek?) the (low?) The (Rek-chek?) the logic PLANET DADA (FLAMBOYANT) [adds these words at the end of the song:] Planet Dada, flamboyant NERVOUS My mind is really shaking 'Cause I know you're gonna make me 'Cause I know you're gonna break me Gonna break my heart I'm nervous when I hear your voice I know I haven't got a choice I'm feeling like a silly voice I'm n-n-n-n-nervous Why can't you rise up? Why, so (planet needs (survive / __ fire)?)? Why can't you rise up? (Virux), so (planet needs (survive / __ fire)?)? (shouting at 2:00 - seems to be gibberish) DON TURBULENTO I feel I'm there I live I swear This is Rio de Janeiro, and you forget about my name. I just know I should never have arrived here. It is whatever you heard - and more. It is but too much, it's not enough, when you lose your mind in the heat of this city - the heat of love. As we feel sweet sensation Ready for the motions here tonight As we groove [?fool] with this rhythm Ready for the early morning light Here comes the mamba [I assume Dieter meant 'mambo' (the dance), 'mamba' is a type of poisonous South American snake.] Kick off the samba Some (loves you / lovely) body Give me the story No-one can stop us now I wait till bottle bring to me It gets my heart to swinging me An offer that I can't refuse I want to be that strange man's muse A room for anyone to see The one who (choose accept) to me However we will hit the night I guess the steward feels so fine [speech ?Spanish (or psuedoSpanish) - an extended version of the Solid Pleasure voice at the end of Downtown Samba (that version repeats the same phrase a few times, the version on The Eye contains that phrase, but adds words)] SOUL ON ICE The streets are lonesome, the night is gone This is the story that never begun Heat in the city, cold as ice, The streets are shining, reflecting her face [note booklet has 'reflecting your eyes'] Squeezing my soul, I'm losing control You're freezing my soul on ice Deep inside, inside my frozen mind An evershining light is gonna make me blind There is no world above, because the light of love Is shining much too bright, it's burning deep inside The second I see her come through the door I'm losing my mind, I'm existing no more [note booklet has 'loosing my mind'] Black as a black cloud, clothing the sky A frozen smile and a frozen goodbye JUNIOR B Givin' it up Maybe, baby I lost in space ["I'm lost in space" makes more sense, but that's not what I hear] Between the sky and the sea (ooh) What does it mean? What does it mean? It means I've got you inside of me Feeling the cold of the atmosphere (Paralysed/Power lines) crossing my fear [I think 'power lines' sounds more correct] Endless wishes, I cry as I sing Oh the message rings in your ears Givin' it up this time, friend Maybe, baby I should close the door Maybe, baby I keep you inside my walls Well I'm going crazy in my mind Spinning around all the time 'Cause you hurt me, you're breaking my heart, baby So get that (great big of your love) this time I got to win her (bills) baby (ready) to climb 'Cause you're mine, baby you're mine We'll get that (heart that's) big, ready to take I've got a lock out groove, I'll focus on you Let's take our time, let's take our time Lost (as a) space [doesn't sound like 'in space'] TIGER DUST One more time (vocal gibberish) Tiger dust (vocal gibberish) What (vocal gibberish) (The way you're gonna do it) (is to carry to the ____________) and you know you want to do it Feeling like a Buddha, feeling very very high DISTANT SOLUTION I see and I feel I need and to the rivers of love And to the skies above Can't get enough of your love Si, ___________ I see (?Si), _________ [anyone speak spanish for the rest of the song lyrics?] TIME PALACE A breeze of atmosphere A fountain of our life As clouds cross with time An endless tide will swell Sacred knots will sound Imaginations open wide Somebody said it's best when it's hard to find The things we leave behind I look into the skies [or 'unto'] Voices in my mind As clouds cross with time An endless tide will swell Sacred knots will sound Imaginations open wide Some might say it's only voices in my mind The things we leave behind UNREAL I'm feeling no weight With power that's pressure The fortune to be made Here I'm laid back at ease I'm ready to please Yes fate is my horizon When time doesn't matter I will find my way to the gods up above Questions are answered when you've been touched When you've been touched by love I'm going through the heaven of love, and the hell of doubt, To brightest of light and darkest cloud, You're close to me and far away Time is passing slowly I hear my voice as if somebody else were speaking I see you like in a mirror - Unreal. Deep down inside I open what is there On images clear I found what I had lost I'm ready to please, fate is my horizon When (time/ties are) doesn't matter I will find my way to the gods up above Questions are answered when you've been touched When you've been touched by love Here endeth the lyrics Mark P. ----------------------<http://users.tpg.com.au/mrpulley/>------------- --------- "The holly and the ivy, if they come up in your yard, Then go and get the Roundup, and hit the mongrels hard."

Thoughts on The Eye
by Mark Pulley 12 Jan '04

12 Jan '04

Now that I've had my copy of The Eye (digipak) for a week, I thought I might share a few thoughts on the new album. Firstly, some people had made comments about Jade Davies' voice being used too much on the album. I didn't have a problem with that, and her voice, although a little rough at times, she did stay in tune (which a lot of modern pop singers can't do). Also, unlike One Second which only four out of eleven songs with Dieter singing, Dieter was also on the tracks that Jade sang on. After having previously only heard the short clips available on the Yello site (thanks to whoever gave the 'back door' address!) I still managed to be surprised by the songs we heard, for better and for worse. I was looking forward to Tiger Dust but ended up being a little disappointed. Most of the song I enjoyed, but once the vocals about Buddha appeared it lost something. Taking a single word and repeating it in a sampler was something I thought Yello had grown out of before samplers even existed, yet here it was used on this track. Planet Dada was better than I expected. I wasn't very excited by the short clip, but there were a couple of good surprises, like the sections where the melody modulates into a couple of unexpected keys, but still manages to find its way successfully back to the original key. (Non-musicians can feel free to ignore that sentence!) I was far less impressed with the Flamboyant remix by Akufen - like most current third-party remixes it lacked the typical Yello sound. (At least the tune was still used, unlike some remixes I have heard which have made me wonder if I was in fact listening to the same piece.) The 'whistled' tune in the background of Soul On Ice from 0:35 to 0:50 sounded 'wrong' to me. It reminded me of amother tune I've heard somewhere, which I thought was by Yello, but I couldn't find the tune on any of the other Yello albums. I keep thinking of that mystery tune when I hear the tune on Soul On Ice. I noticed that Star Breath reused the 'spooky' chords from Moon Dog. I have put together a highly unscientific listing of the tracks from best to worst. It was difficult to pick an order for some tracks, so if I was to make the same list in a week the order would be a little different. The current order is: Soul on Ice Nervous Distant Solution Time Palace Unreal Junior B Tiger Dust Don Turbulento Planet Dada Bougainville Star Breath Hipster's Delay Indigo Bay Planet Dada (Flamboyant) Mark P. ----------------------<http://users.tpg.com.au/mrpulley/>------------- --------- "The holly and the ivy, if they come up in your yard, Then go and get the Roundup, and hit the mongrels hard."
