You Stay Here No question on this one. You Stay Here is a haunting classic. I always hear the song in the context of a conversation I once had with my brother, who interpreted the tigers coming at night to refer to the Tiger tank of Nazi Germany. Most people discussing this song seem to see it as set in contemporary times, but I vividly imagine it set in early 1940s Europe, and it breaks my heart every time. << The Tiger was a Yugoslaviana paramilitary leader, ?eljko Ra?natovi? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/?eljko_Ra?natovi? Given when Richard wrote the song ( late 90s), this makes sense.

Hey all . . . voting's real close, so if you haven't picked your favorite songs in each of these pairings, get outta your footie pajamas and get your vote on!! 1. You Stay Here 2. Waiting For The Storm 3. Wisteria (although - I hate you for making me choose here!) 4. Last Fare Of The Day 5. Ascent 6. Balloon Man Frankly, neither of the choices here do a whole lot for me. 7. Confession Dated now, but a helluva lotta fun in its time. 8. By Now Sorry, I know this creeps some folks out, but a favorite from my early listening days.) 9. You Again I have to admit, I'm thinking of the Fast Folk take on this. 10. There Goes Mavis Again, neither choice does a lot for me personally... but my wife likes this one more, so I'm fine with that. 11. State of the Union Love the story, and love the way it wraps up. 12. On A Sea Of Fleur-De-Lis The guitar accompaniment clinches the deal for me here 13. So Says The Whipporwill I DO think the recorded version lot a lot from the early live "in studio" solo takes on this song. But still... the Dave Carter thing just pushes this one to the front for me. - -Jim C - ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2013 17:56:40 -0500 From: "cvz" Subject: Re: [RS] XBox does the same thing Pete - what sort of port (s) are you referring to?
