Title: You don't know you're born
Post by: rudiger on December 02, 2008, 02:57:45 PM: Please, could some fan (Polish or not) confirm me that the song "You don't know you're born" was released as Promo CD single in Poland? Thanks.
Slavi, maybe you? ;)

Post by: Slavi on December 02, 2008, 05:16:11 PM: Great, Waldo! I have never heard about it. Is that version different from the album's one?
Title: Re: You don't know you're born
Post by: wmlbbmk on December 04, 2008, 12:22:14 PM: No, it's the same version as on the album
The front cover picture is the same as on the Quality Shoe single, but with another title of course :D

An even more rare item from the TRPD I have is a 1-track promo "The Ragpicker's dream" from Austria

Post by: superval99 on December 04, 2008, 02:28:03 PM: It is certainly one of my favourites along with "Old Pigweed" and "Marbletown". :) Great album, my favourite!
Title: Re: You don't know you're born
Post by: dustyvalentino on December 04, 2008, 03:42:17 PM: Well Old Pigweed and Marbletown are two of my least favourites from RPD!

I like Marbletown as a song, but I don't think it's a very good version on the album, it doesn't sound like a good quality recording to me.

The title track would be my least favourite from the album as a whole though. Cayote is good in theory but the cheesy synth horns ruin it.

Title: Re: You don't know you're born
Post by: Fieneke2 on December 04, 2008, 09:29:34 PM: I like all the songs, except Coyote, but my favorites of that album are:
Hill Farmer's Blues, Daddy's Gone To Knoxville, Quality Shoe and Old Pigweed! ;D

Yes Val you are perfectly right... ;D ;D
It is always very funny to watch very various opinions about various songs...

Still, don

It was gone by the time the tour came to Edinburgh. :'(

Post by: IrisRose on December 09, 2008, 04:53:38 PM: I was listening carefully to the words of RPD last night. Just got a new cd player with great sound. Since RPD/Golden Heart are my favorites, I thought I'd inaugerate the new player with one of those.
For a change, I actually thought about the words. Both Old Pigweed (my favorite too, Pottel) and Coyote have at least two levels of meaning. MK blends them so skillfully that you hardly realize it, unless you think. It's nice to listen to just the surface meaning, but when you take time to think about his metaphors, wow!!!!!!! The songs become even more powerful. I really like the keyboard on Faretheewell, Northumberland!! I repeated that one a couple of times.
