Far Away...Far Away..Far Away
Oh I...Always try to save time.
In Life...nothing works the same twice
You know Jealousy..Jealousy...Jealousy...is still a friend of mine.
But it's gotta be, gotta be, gotta be worth another try

Cuz when I'm feeling you close, and when I'm feeling your shape.
And when you already know and now it's getting close
And when the lights go on
I can see it...all.
In every single day.
And I'm telling you now...
I'm never far away...I'm never far away.

So come on...
Stop it if you're wondering
There's no wrong...
Wrong in what we're doing
So Stop it, Stop if you're wondering.
I've got it all figured out
Just keep on doing what you're doing
And watch me turn it around..and around...and around...

Cuz when I'm feeling you close, and when I'm feeling your shape.
And when you already know and now it's getting close
And when the lights go on
I can see it...all.
In every single day.
And I'm telling you now...
I'm never far away...I'm never far away.

The video where I heard this was awful - about car crashes and people getting hit by cars when folks run red lights. I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG, but can't find it. The thing on the video says M1-Far Away, but that doesn't make sense. Can't find the artist. Can someone help?? PLEASE?

UPDATE: Found it on Amazon and bought the single; I remembered I had a promotional coupon for an MP3 download! SCORE!! YIPPEE!

This is maddening and fantastic! I could imagine actually dancing to this at a club, but more likely jiving to it playing loud in my car with a serious look on my face, slumped down into my seat wearing half-cocked sunglasses and a doo rag.

I do like me some Burger King.



And I'm just a little bit gayer.

Ok, maybe a lot gayer...

My Spybot (after I updated it with the most recent upgrade and data) virtually deleted and killed by Bearshare this weekend. I was sad because the little bear face was off my desktop and I knew that without re-installing, I would not be able to find unusual music that hits me throughout the day, or without hearing the obscure stuff, I would be stuck in an unredemptive, unforgiving, and relentless repetition of stuff I didn't want to hear or wasn't able to get out of my head. So, I had to install what I think is the more recent version, which is supposed to SUCK!

So, aside from the work-related issues, lingering in my head was the thought of not being able to find music that I needed quickly. Bearshare had been wonderful. Kazaa had been wonderful. Napster had been FANTASTIC. But eventually all these software packages and groups had been either shut down or lessened in virtue and expanse. All but Bearshare, and I'm not sure why. Maybe cuz it's not known.

Given the current readership of my blog and other sites, I can't imagine that Bearshare's interest by the general populace would be that greatly increased. But still I have a version and simply by this post I am advertising to a group that might well be interested in owning a copy (by purchase) and therewith extrapolate any monies that I would have thrown toward the company. I should support the last-seeming peer-to-peer sharing conduit on the web, right?

We'll see.

We went to the Big H or the Hmart (sounds like a person with a hairlip saying it) to get groceries. Great shopping there - not good veggies outside of the greens and the specifically Korean / Japanese veggies. Fruits and regular American veggies, you can forget their quality - not good. My apricots lasted all of 3 days, when the Whole Foods fruits last at least a week out in the open.

We were walking through the veggie section toward the meats when I started singing to the music without realizing it... Matt turned to me and said, "YOU KNOW THIS?" It was a compilation, sort of medley of 80s Italian songs, all in English. Yep, I knew it - listen to it almost every day at work since it's in my music collections on my hard drive and on my MP3 player that I use on the way to work. He goes, "You're the ONLY one in this ENTIRE Korean-laden market who's singing this song. Even American-Italians don't know this song! I don't know this song (which is saying a lot about Matthew and his 80s music knowledge and exposure). You have such obscure and expansive tastes in music; I shouldn't really be surprised." And yet he was.

'Starz In Their Eyes' by Just Jack

They'll be making sure you stay amused
They'll fill you up with drugs and booze
Maybe you'll make the evening news

And when you're tripping over your dreams
They'll keep you down by any means
and by the end of the night you'll be stifling your screams

Since you became a VIPerson
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And they'll just put you in the spotlight
And hope that you'll do alright
Or maybe not

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Starz in their eyes?

Remember they said you'd show them all
Emphasise the rise but not the fall
And now you're playing a shopping mall

Your mum and dad they can't believe
What you appear to have achieved
While the rest of these users are just laughing in their sleeves

Since you became a VIPerson
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And now the tabloids use your face
To document your fall from grace
And then they'll tell you that that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Starz in their eyes?

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

(When I grow up im going to be famous)

Behind the steel barrier and sequence and glitter
Five inch heels still knee deep in the litter
Each of them a bitter bullshitter,
Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamour, getting lost in the camera
Well footprints are fools gold, diamonds crusts on their one off plimsolls
So little time for these one off arseholes
Rigour mortis Ken and Barbie dolls,
A pair of big shades and a push up bra,
It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars,
That you've come a long way from the place that you started
So why'd you wanna go and get so down hearted

Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger
Uncutting you nose clean, coating you bladder
A whole lot happier a whole lot sadder,
Used to be satisfied but now you feel like Mick Jagger,

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Marinero
I wonder if "Milva" means something like "MILF" in Italian or Spanish...

I honestly didn't know this singer existed in the 80s. How about that? Love the dancers and the arm movements!! They're fantastic. They deserve the applause! Yeah!
