yeah, you can hear Sakamoto's work all over this! :-)

I don't think its ... ( 8 months ago by peacefulbliss)

I don't think its Davids voice isn't working on the song - I just think theres probably a clash of styles. Particularly when they're singing together and the vocals go quite high.David has a warm,rich,deep and soft tone and his vocals tend to get 'drowned out' a little.I must confess it sounds like a christmas song.Can imagine listening to it whilst at the window when the snow is falling.Really quite like it.Certainly different from Mr Batts norm...and yes it has Ryuichi written all over it.

Hmm hearing that it reminds you of xmas...it really reminds me of springtime or summer, but with overcast skies (I always seem to picture made up music videos in my head). I've just checked my Last fm. I listened to this song 25 times in the past 2 days :|

i concur 100%
This and Linoleum are my 2 favorite songs to hear David Sylvian's buttery rich tone - especially when he does the higher harmony at the end (Far Away/Time Will Pass)

I agree. Last bit ... ( 6 months ago by floppyd0g)

I agree. Last bit sends tingles. Voices work well on the LP rather than pc speakers etc.

I think its the ... ( 6 months ago by frickam)

I think its the difference in tone that makes this song work. David's voice is deep and worldly, Virginia's is innocent and ethereral. What is the hope for the world? Innocence or experience? I love this song.

yep. not ... ( 6 months ago by derduke64)

yep. not necessarily a christmas song, but definately a winter song to me. sitting in the warm house on a day off, watching the snow outside etc etc.

I was join this session as a programmer 20 years ago. This song was
composed the day before David Sylvian recorded his vocal at the WoolHall
Studio at Bath in England. It is still beautiful song. Ryuichi was prove
himself as a very talented man.

Of course! I'm sitting in a warm house at 1am, just outside stinking-hot Sydney. Does this count?

This song was one of the most beautiful songs of my youth.

Great song. It ... ( 2 months ago by c0ndorlegion)

Great song. It reminds me of Autumn and Christmas. I was a fanatical Japan and Sylvian fan in my youth. I remember getting the cassette tape of 'Some Small Hope' and endlessly playing it for my girlfriend at the time. Embarrassing.
Isn't she the sister of '80s British 'pop sensation' Rick Astley ('Never Gonna Give You Up')?

I used this song for my wedding ceremony. Lyric is a little negative. But I have a good old memory.
