He gets me - as with a violent force - straight inside me - where it not only hurts or feels good, but where he hits such a lot of emotions, with such violent force, that it almost makes me cry. Not because it's bad feelings, but because the emotions is so powerfull and strong - sometimes it is almost unbearable - but, yes, as you know, - I just want more!

hahha Bente you're so sweet! and absolutely right!

Paolo had a great interview on BBC Scotland yesterday and he sang the most touching, new cover song - which I adore. I don't know how to make it into an Mp3, or I would. Here is a link and lyrics to the song. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do. I first heard it thanks to mabingham. She uploaded the radio show to seegrim's LiveJournal. Thanks so much, ma! This song has made me cry more than any other he's done. He didn't sing the entire song as it's performed by Arcade Fire, but it is very beautiful the way he chose to do it.


"Wake Up" by Arcade Fire

Covered by Paolo on BBC Radio Scotland, October 15, 2009

Begins about 1:21:00 into the broadcast:


Lyrics to Wake Up :

Somethin’ filled up
my heart with nothin’,
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I’m older,
my heart’s colder,
and I can see that it’s a lie.

Oh, oh, oh...

Children wake up,
hold your mistakes up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don’t grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We’re just a million little god’s causin rain storms turnin’ every good thing to rust.

I guess we’ll just have to adjust.

Oh, oh, oh...

Somethin’ filled up
my heart with nothin’,
someone told me not to cry...

just listened. Thanks for sharing, he was brilliant! and this cover is beautiful!!

I've been listening to "Wake Up" much of the day today. Still loving it. Nice to have others enjoying it along with me..

debber - Aren't the interviews just the greatest! I'm always looking forward to the next one. Sorry, Paolo, but I do love hearing from you...

Bente - I understand, and yes, it's not a bad feeling at all. His music, and following his career, has gotten me through some of the roughest times in my life. I don't think I'll ever get enough of him; and like you, I always want more... In my life, at this moment in time, he is more valuable than gold to me.

Lynn - I went through a very long phase where I mostly listened to Paolo alone. I would listen to the songs he mentioned, then I started listening to the songs that reminded me of him, as well. So many of the songs or artists that he talks about were favorites of mine as I was growing up. Many of the oldest ones he mentions, I listened to with my mother. It's all very meaningful to me.

I hope you have success with your radio campaign!

I had a favorite video I watched several times a day for months. It was "Jenny Don't Be Hasty" from the Savonnerier, Brussels, Belgium in 2007. The quality of the video is rough, but Paolo's really on fire in it. I love how he can express such a wide range of emotions through his music. So gentle in one song, then you can almost see the "animal in his eyes" (as he sings about in "Beeswing") in another song. He is very intriguing to me.

Still really looking forward to an mp3 of "Wake Up".

Thank you ..thank you.. this is such a beautiful song.

Thank you, Mary Anna!

I've been listening to it over and over a great portion of the day now. I've had it on in the background as I've gone about various activities. I don't want to turn it off yet. I love how it automatically repeats. I'm a happy camper.

I could listen to Paolo sing the Oh, oh, oh's forever... lol. Beautiful, very emotive song.

Thanks for this Wake Up mabingham!It is so clear and you did it!! Can anyone tell me how I can download this as an MP3 to my itunes? Is it possible?? Can I even ask that here? Mapleleaf??

Carlyn, please check your email.

Mary Anna, thank you so much, was waiting for it.

Thanks very much, Mapleleaf...I got it!!!

Mmm, for some reason I can't download it, nothing happens. I'm probably just being dumm, but can't figure it out.

Thank you so much for sharing! Love it...

WOW! Every time I come back on the forum, there’s some new gem – amazing! What a good cover.

I love Arcade Fire (go Canada!) and really liked the stuff they did with Bowie. Now every time I see the ads for “Where the Wild Things Are” I’ve been singing this. (“Wake Up” is not on the soundtrack CD or in the movie though, just the trailer. A shame.)

Thanks mabingham and all!

OneWorldt, BeWall - Thank you so much for sharing this and your feelings. I am speechless...hard to believe. Luv, Cat

That's so good it hurts. Wow.

Can anybody mail the .mp3 file to me? I don't have premium multiply so I can't download it from there.
Thanks in advance. I owe you one.
