Uther Blakwhel Great stripped down versions of Tahiti 80's Indie Pop Sound! Another reminder of why they are such a great band in the first place!!!! Favorite track: Heartbeat.

circular music This is a wonderful reworking of some of the best moments from one of the most consistently great indie bands of the last 20 years! As much as I love the originals, Tahiti 80 have given a new layer to these songs somehow, by stripping back some of the flash, I suppose? Either way, this is essential for long time fans, or as an introduction to the sublime pop sensibilities of Tahiti 80! Favorite track: Made First (Never Forget).

Just because you'll always be miles ahead of me I don't see why I shouldn't try To catch up with you 'Cause in my mind a 1, 000 times or more I've been there before There's nothing I can see that will stop me, believe me Our time will come and I don't think I will let Another chance, pass me by Our time will come and I don't think I will let Another chance, pass me by I don't want you to get bored Like you have a 1,000 times before Give me some time Just to show that I am up to it Our time will come and I don't think I will let Another chance, pass me by Our time will come and I don't think I will let Another chance, pass me by There's something that can be done To bring us back together as one There's something else I can do That's why I'm sending this message to you I will try another 1, 000 times To bring us back together as one I will try another 1, 000 times Till you decide to change your mind

EASY 03:01 video
I've been lookin' all around For something to change my mind Felt like floatin' on the ground And I wasn't satisfied with what I found Woke up lookin' like a creep 'Cause I couldn't get no sleep Snowflakes stirring to sleep But my heart still beats for something sweet Come on now, ease the pain I ain't gonna fall for you again So why don't you erase my name? 'Cause I won't ever feel the same Go figure out what it's all about I won't be there to hold you tight Make a turn at the next runabout Following the signs inside your mind Yes, I've been here before It's not gonna be like before Yes, we've been here before But I'm not gonna take it no more Come on now, ease the pain I ain't gonna fall for you again So why don't you erase my name? 'Cause I won't ever feel the same I'm sorry, I'm just different from you I can't give you more than you want me to My life is here and you know it too Come on now, ease the pain I ain't gonna fall for you again So why don't you erase my name? 'Cause I won't ever feel the same Come on now, ease the pain

Heartbeat 03:05
Enough for me is not much for you Won't you forgive me that's all I can do Can you feel my heartbeat When I'm close to you Enough for me is not much for you Won't you forgive me that's all I can do Can you feel my heartbeat When I'm close to you I'll never find another way to say I love you more each day It's quite romantic I know That's how I wanna feel today, yeah, I wanna feel this way Can you feel my heartbeat When I'm close to you Can you feel my heartbeat When I'm close to you I'll never find another way to say I love you more each day It's quite romantic I know That's how I wanna feel today, yeah, I wanna feel this way, today Can you feel my heartbeat Can you feel my heartbeat Can you feel my heartbeat When I'm close to you I'll never find, no I'll never find Another way to say I love you more each day

I was sleeping in my own bed With three fairies above my head Contemplating the reason they were there Oh, power is the law you find out as you grow But I've been waiting and waiting in vain And there's still nothing new in my hands Love is a state I hope I'll never forget If I could know my fate Things would be nicer, things would be nicer I was standing among fifteen guys They were all down on their knees Trying to sing their troubles, their troubles and their fears Oh, even if I wanna learn How to avoid those fifteen girls Still running faster than me, what am I doing here? Love is a state I hope I'll never forget (Never forget, never forget) If I could know my fate Things would be nicer, things would be better Love is a state I hope I'll never forget (Never forget, never forget) If I could know my fate Things would be nicer, things would be nicer Things would be better

Tune In 02:52
I thought we felt as one It was great to be there with you It's so hard to tune in When I don't know what you're thinking It's so hard to tune in When I don't know what you're thinking You switched to channel two I am lost and I don't know what to do It's so hard to tune in When I don't know what you're thinking It's so hard to tune in And my love is too much to take And my love is something that I can't fake And my heart is about to break I turn a radio on just to hear the same voice Coming through my earphones It's so hard to tune in When I don't know what you're thinking It's so hard to tune in When I don't know what you're thinking Don't make me feel so bad I am not a stalker knocking at your door It's so hard to tune in When I don't know what you're thinking It's so hard to tune in And my love is too much to take And my love is something that I can't fake And my heart is about to break

Seven Seas 02:43
I took the road to my earliest memory As I stood a chance to have you come with me We're clouds on a windy platform We fly over seven seas A little piece of land may appear out of the blue A castle on the sand might steer into view A little piece of land It's our chance to start anew I'll cross the coral strand, settle down forever with you (forever with you) Halfway through our journey You said you had different names You're hard to follow but I'm gonna try again On the wings of our good vibrations We fly over seven seas A little piece of land may appear out of the blue A castle on the sand might steer into view A little piece of land It's our chance to start anew I'll cross the coral strand, settle down forever with you (forever with you) It's all clear in my head (A room with a view) It's all clear in my head (Forever with you) A little piece of land may appear out of the blue A castle on the sand might steer into view A little piece of land It's our chance to start anew I'll cross the coral strand, settle down forever with you (forever with you)
10.
As I was thinking about the things that you said I looked up to the sky see a cloud passing by There must be something wrong There must be something wrong Better days will come... Better days will come... (No you can't always win, I guess you'd rather just wait) Better days will come

Hurts 03:09
All I wanna do is sit alone in the sun I don't wanna say I'm sorry it came undone 'Cause for a while that's all we did All I'm asking you now Is to walk away from my life I know you think it hurts But I've been through so much worse I bet you got it wrong the moment you laid your eyes on me Don't think you're the first, the last, God or my universe Time to move on, pack your stuff and run away I know you're going to smile and pretend it's fun I know you'll never feel sorry for anyone But only a fool could have stayed that long All I'm asking you now is to walk away from my life I know you think it hurts But I've been through so much worse I bet you got it wrong the moment you laid your eyes on me Don't think you're the first, the last, God or my universe Time to move on, pack your stuff and run away Time to move on, pack your stuff and run away I know you think it hurts But I've been through so much worse I bet you got it wrong the moment you laid your eyes on me Don't think you're the first, the last, God or my universe Time to move on, pack your stuff and run away I know you think it hurts I know you think it hurts I know you think it hurts I know you think it hurts But i have had so much worse

Open Book 03:43
You feel you have nothing to hide it's dazzling like a star Yet there is something inside Beautiful and dangerous like a rose Something telling you, you shouldn't get too close Don't try, because You may burn your wings and crash to the ground It makes you wish you were lost and never found But you feel your face is blushing now Looking back, it's always the same vicious circle You fall in love like you'd fall from a bicycle And everybody's walking in slow motion You don't, you can't control your reaction you should try, because You may burn your wings and crash to the ground It makes you wish you were lost and never found But you feel your face is blushing now your eyes are like an open book one can tell everything from the way you look the way you look You may burn your wings and crash to the ground It makes you wish you were lost and never found But you feel your face is blushing now Cause your eyes are like an open book One can tell everything from the way you look You're an open book
