In the case of "Nothing Left" parts 1 and 2... apart from the title phrase... can anyone decipher what else she is purring about??
...I thought not!
"ooh ah was it something?
ooh ooh ooh
Safe here
Nothing left"
that there's my guess anyway....
Hello;)
I guess the lyrics is;
"Ohh ah was it something?
Oh...
Shadow hid you
Nothing left."
What do you think about my version?
I think it fits pretty well;D

hi there Speedy! This debate has been well and truly put to bed....those in the know tell us that it's a cut and paste of random nonsense and even 'nothing left' isn't really that, it just sound like it.
Welcome to the board.

Is that what you wrote confirmed by Orbital? If so, unnecessarily I'm bothering your head;)
Peace!

Any opinions what the vocoder is saying on Nothing Left pt.2?

Is the 'Sad But True' lyric 'Moonlight Dies Inside'??
I quite like the ambiguity of the vocals on a lot of Orbital records. They just become another abstract instrument, like the vocal part on Pink Floyd's 'Great Gig in the Sky'.
