[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
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

Faithless
Faithless are an English dance music band that formed in 1995, with its core members being Rollo, Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz. Their first album, Reverence, was released in 1996 and their most recent, All Blessed, in 2020. They have sold millions of physical records, and their catalogue has been uploaded to streaming sites in 2018. They average almost 3 million streams a month. Faithless' records have charted at No. 1 in numerous countries and they were voted the 4th greatest dance band of all time by Mixmag.
Their lyrical style has been seen as sociopolitical. All Blessed uses award-winning photo-journalist Yannis Behrakis' picture of refugees on the front, focusing on immigration as its core theme.
Faithless have headlined numerous major festivals in Europe and beyond, including four editions of Glastonbury. Their lyrics have been quoted in both the US Senate and the Houses of Parliament.

Marginal. Dido's voice doesn't really cut it IMHO - she is pretty easy on the eye though.

Yeah that's a horrible picture :P

Something for those of us with ears! Yay! What a relief after the Queen-Bowie Axis of Evil.

This is only marginal until the rap kicks in. Then it truly sucks.

I think I prefer the version of this song from Faithless's Outrospective album. This one feels a little trippier and I prefered the darker atmosphere of the original.
That said, its still a great track. And I only discovered Faithless after hearing "Evergreen" here on RP, which is another fabulous track.

Almost as annoying as my ex-wife. Certainly more annoying than Ryan Seacrest or spam for penis enlargement snake oil.

Does the fact that the MC is a buddist, rhymes about positive life experience and is part of a generally all around solid group (Faithless) disuade anyone from complaining about rap on this song?
Posted 19 years ago by gshrieves:
I'm going to complain that there's DIDO on this. Sorry, she seems like a lovely woman, but she simply cannot sing. Every note that comes out of her mouth sounds flat.
Posted 19 years ago by radiojunkie:
Nobody's complained that there's rap on this yet. Oh, but this is only the second comment. I'll wait...
I think it's pretty good, and I don't usually care for Dido. So I rated it "pretty good."
