SONG OF THE WEEK

Posted on by

My choice for ‘song of the week’ this week is by the electronic band – FAITHLESS.  Faithless consists of Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and Rollo Armstrong.  They have released 6 albums and over 20 singles, 3 of which topped the US Dance Charts (“Salva Mea”,”Insomnia” and “God Is A DJ”).   They have amassed worldwide sales of 15 million records.  The band officially split up in April after their spectacular live concert – Passing The Baton at Brixton Academy. 

The song I chose is a collaboration between Faithless and guest vocalist Dido – best know for her singles; “Thank You“, “Here With Me” and “White Flag“.  “One Step Too Far” was released in 2002 and peaked on the UK charts at No. 6 and No. 4 on the US Dance Charts.  It is from their critically acclaimed album – Outrospective.

I was shocked when Faithless announced that they split as a band but am comforted in knowing that their music, their legacy and their genius is FOREVER!  Thank you FAITHLESS for all the music – truly inspiring!

ONE STEP TOO FAR (featuring DIDO)

[Dido]
You can sleep forever, but still you will be tired
You can stay as cold as stone, but still you won’t find peace
With you I feel I’m the meek leading the blind
With you I feel I’m just spending wasted time

I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
But with you (with you)
It’s always one step too far

One step too far

You can whine to the bone but still you won’t be full
You can look down on the world but still you won’t find love
You won’t find love

[Maxi Jazz]
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through.
If the sun or the moon should give way to doubt,
They would immediately go out.
One swallow don’t make a summer,
But tomorrow has to start somewhere.
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through.
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through.
Don’t Let nothing ride you
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through.
Don’t Let nothing ride you
One swallow don’t make a summer.

[Dido]
I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
But with you
It’s always one step too far
One step too far

I’ve been waiting

I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
I’m still waiting
But with you
It’s always one step too far
One step too far
