The Altogether

The Altogether is Orbital's sixth studio album and was released in 2001. It features guest vocals by the Hartnolls' brother-in-law David Gray, a sampled Ian Dury, a sample from "Sober" by Tool and a version of the Doctor Who theme. It was Orbital's last studio album for FFRR and received a mixed critical reception. Describing the album shortly before it was released, Phil Hartnoll said, "Whereas Middle of Nowhere was written for a detached mood, for sitting in a field and listening to by yourself, The Altogether is for listening to at a party with your mates. That's what I take it to mean anyway. Paul thinks it's about not having any clothes on."As of 2001, it had sold 135,000 copies worldwide. As of 2004, the album had sold 58,000 copies in United States. more »

Sweet Ida
I've been tied down into growing old
But these ropes won't hold
Because Ida
Knows inside of me there's still some child
Ready to run wild
As she sits by the banks of all my good days
And she ripples the water while the band plays
For her and I
My legs aren't working like they used to
But out on the floor I'm sure
I'm more or less the same
I never knew quite how the movement goes
I think some things are best left to the pros
But every now and then I hear the voice again
The one who believes I can't
Ignore it for too long
He tells me he's an angel of some kind
The rest I swear it must have slipped my mind
Sweet Ida
I've been tied down into growing old
But these ropes won't hold
Because Ida
Knows inside of me there's still some child
Ready to run wild
As she sits by the banks of all my good days
And she ripples the water while the band plays
For her and I
For her and I
For her and I
For her and I
For her and I
Sweet Ida
I've been growing old
But Ida
Knows inside of me there's still some child
Ready to run wild
She ripples the water while the band plays
For her and I
Sweet Ida
I've been tied down into growing old
But these ropes won't hold
Because Ida
Knows inside of me there's still some child
Ready to run wild
As she sits by the banks of all my good days
And she ripples the water while the band plays
For her and I
