The Frames - Fitzcarraldo (No Disco, 1995)

The Frames - Fitzcarraldo (No Disco, Acoustic 1995). This was the moment it all changed for The Frames, at the bottom of a mountain with no where to go but up.

LYRICS:
Here, back, down a long and straight track
I have chose the long road -
That leads me to god knows
So I can't stop right now

Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
Lose their faith and slide
But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough for my day

It's the first of the ascension
It's a sad way we've flown after the storm
And her last words were "I was only thinking of you"
In my olden days I was a slave

Well now it's time for to sound your voice
And capture what you're after
My ship was sold right up the river
But I'm not going down here
This journey isn't over
It's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo
And her last words were "I'm always thinking of you"
In my olden days I was a saint

Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
Like lapdogs that stride that mystery
And her last words were "I'll see you down in history"
It's the only way that we can go
I shall eclipse you

It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo
And I don't want to pray for you
In the name of something true

[aniuxmm]

This is such a jewel, I've been looking for older vids of The Frames and just found this one, love them!!

[irishmusiccentral]

@aniuxmm Also have a look for "Angel At My Table" recorded for the same 'No Disco' session.

[Dannio82]

Goosebumps; this song is incredible. Does anyone know if this is the recording on the Set List album?

[irishmusiccentral]

Set List was recorded in 2002. The video above is from around 1995,

[ChicagoBeth1945]

The version they're doing now on tour with Marketa pounding the piano is pretty awesome!

[itsNOTyourVOLT]

her names Noreen O Donnell and I'm entirely sure what shes doing now musically but her and glen are still really good mates. shes an amazing singer

[yannoche]

I remember watching this on tv during my Erasmus stay in Ireland. No Disco was great to pick jewels like the Frames and magnify them.

You irish people rock !

[LaGoonch]

Dude, this chick needs an instrument or something, because her creepy as dancing just isn't doing it for me

[livy1962]

This song has seen morer "repeat" palys on my iPOD than any other . . thank you Glen

[bucktkd]

Who's the woman singing along with Glen?

[Titiansurf]

remember seeing them in a packed sweaty hotel function room on the Heineken Roller Coaster Tour in Sligo. I was 16 and it was a school night and everyone was loaded, including host Dave Fanning. Had to climb in an open window and fall in on the crowd to gain entrance. Bouncer almost caught us. Didnt have a ticket or the fiver to get one. They had just released Revelate so it must have been 1995. Great night, great performance. Fan ever since.
