good track.
is she going to be working with Herbert on the new record?
― arghkaybee, Friday, 22 June 2007 14:25 (sixteen years ago) link
I like how the video seems like it's going to be some awful 'I'm just a real girl' statement - but then ends up being the opposite.
― Alex xy, Friday, 22 June 2007 14:59 (sixteen years ago) link
an 'I'm just a real girl who never takes off this awesome outfit' statement
― blueski, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:18 (sixteen years ago) link
I saw it as a final refusal to give up the image (after flirting with doing that), in the end unsullied by the normal/drab setting.
― Alex xy, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:27 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah but y'know, so what. i'd rather the video just be a more literal interpretation of the song again these days. also the 'music goes quieter when they go into a different room' thing is kinda played out.
― blueski, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm intrigued about the album, it's a nice track and I've always liked her voice.

is this one of the Richard X songs?
― jamescobo, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link
it's produced by one of Bugz in the attic.

obv, it's clearly "your data, my data".

the beats are a bit sluggish, actually, but i do like the acid line.
― jed_, Friday, 22 June 2007 15:52 (sixteen years ago) link
the beat is weird, you really notice the snare sounding ever so slightly premature every half a bar.

why? how could someone think she's not attractive?
― mitya, Friday, 22 June 2007 20:49 (sixteen years ago) link
whilst it is 'your data my data', i guess I was looking for a bit of Wicklow accent in there. Oh and Groove Armada are responsible for alot of the new work. Something to look forward to... though October?! Really? That's two months between it and the first single

Apparently it is You dated my daughter. Which I understood as some wacky "Lolita" thing. But it also fits with line "the chromosones match." Still a bit confused as to the actual message of the song, not that it really matters though. Maybe some sort of: "Well, we can use our branes but the chemicals always take over and science will never really be able to catch up." Something like that. I think it's an ace song. The remixes on the ep are bit meh though.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm sure she'd return to that, in the lyrics, if that's what she meant. it would have some effect on the basic story she's telling(?)
"mamaaaa, just kill the haaaaam"
it's on all the lyrics websites as "dating my daughter". is it a snowball effect where one site puts it up first and then all the others just copy that? even if that is the case i'm baffled as to how someone could hear it as that in the first place.
― blueski, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link

he never her daughter
― blueski, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 20:48 (sixteen years ago) link
It really does sound nothing like "your dating my daughter". I suppose if she had suddenly developed a weird American accent just for the word "daughter", and had some weird speech defect that meant she couldn't pronounce the the syllable "ing" it might be possible, but I have looked into it and this is not the case.
― Alba, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link
you're dating my daughter my sister my daughter my sister
― Jordan, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
True. At first I heard the data line too but after googling it, now I can only hear the daughter line. :-(
― stevienixed, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link
But even if you accepted a bizarre pronunciation of "daughter", it would still only say "your data my daughter". There is no way you can hear it as "dating" even if you try!

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, after being initially underwhelmed by this, it is slowly growing into one of my singles of the year. Fits well with the dark-italo stuff that's coming out lately. I hope the album is in that vein too.
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 08:34 (sixteen years ago) link
When is the album coming out anyway? And what dark-italo stuff would you recommend (alongside this ep)?
― nathalie, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 08:36 (sixteen years ago) link
The whole 'After Dark' compilation that got featured on Pitchfork a few weeks ago is really really great

Wait, she hopes it will be out by summer but I didn't gather from that (admittedly brief) article that this stuff has even been recorded yet. Marking it on my calendar for 2015 at the earliest.

I assumed she meant by this summer but you're right she only says she's written these songs. Can't believe Overpowered is already seven years old.

Maybe she'll work with Matthew Herbert again!
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 17:36 (ten years ago) link
I'd be content with more Richard Barrett ("Cry Baby" off Overpowered, reportedly "Simulation"), though Herbert/Murphy was a perfect match.

I heard 'Ancora Tu' out and my that's a gorgeous song. (I thought it was an odd language-transposed Justine & the Victorian Punks cover, didn't know that version was itself an odd language-transposed cover!)
― Merdeyeux, Thursday, 17 July 2014 00:19 (nine years ago) link
I love all three versions, J+VP probably my favourite but RM's has its own superchill beauty.
― dem bow dem bow need calcium (seandalai), Thursday, 17 July 2014 00:33 (nine years ago) link
I've kind of lost interest in the others songs on the EP though.
didn't think 'Still You' could be improved for me but now hearing it not as an original but as something between a cover of 'Ancora Tu' and a song about 'Ancora Tu' and the memories associated with it adds a very sweet something.
― Merdeyeux, Thursday, 17 July 2014 00:40 (nine years ago) link
OTM. Another thing I love about "Still You": it kind of sounds like they're chatting and jamming totally naturally over a recording of the original that's playing somewhere in the background. Shares a niche in my brain-catalogue with "Into the Groovey".

The "Mi Senti" EP is fantastic. 'Pensiero Stupendo' is just really warm and intimate. Really like the conversational and vampy tone of 'Ancora tu'.
I had no idea this was out there but thanks to random search on Spotify tonight for Roisin Murphy this came up. Really great.
