over heard the rhythm in one of the youtube clips this morning. it sounded so familiar to me. i had to have heard it somewhere before… after digging deeper on the net, i found the song title: 『Wish You Were Here』. what i remembered is actually the gregorian’s version:
this gregorian’s version has more electronica and chanting elements. it is one of my favourite tracks from the band.
this song is originally from Pink Floyd (rock version):
however, my favourite version is this sparklehorse’s cover version featured by Thom Yorke. i like it mainly cos of its rhythm: soft and catching. the best part for me is the guitar and piano.
someone claims that Thom Yorke’s vocals was recorded over the phone from his hotel room, and that the “noise” in the background is from the TV in that hotel room… duno whether it’s true or not…
this is a very old song… introcuded by kathy one day in the office actually… the day only heard a bit of it… like it already…
here are two versions, i like the remixed one better
Seals & Crofts - Summer Breeze
Philip Steir Remix:
Original:
See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everythings alright
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard days work
And you’re waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I’m hearing what you say
But I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait…
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around and say..
That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that’s nothing new)
Yeah yeah
I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the Angel Heaven let me think was you,
But I’m afraid
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
Woahooo woah
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah
I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground…
