the keywords (labels) are so wrenching, in themselves...and this lovely video of youth and missed opportunities and your clear-as-a-bell voice. oh, my dear. it hurts and hurts.
ReplyDeletethanks Susan.. said so beautifully.. xo
DeleteOK, I remember a later, dance-mix version of that song. Sorry, but I don't think yours ever made it to the US. I'm sure I'd remember because I was watching a lot of MTV at the time. Having said that, I quite like your version. You have a nice voice, and despite the seemingly cheerful lyrics, it's a bit melancholic, and, as you said, ironic. Melancholy and irony. Trust me, I'm no stranger to either.
ReplyDeleteIt's a long story Kirk.. I am the original singer of this song..my voice has been sampled onto so many house version of the song. I don't know shall I put :) or :( you choose.. xx
DeleteI viewed this the other day, but was unable to get my comment to take. It freaked me out in a slowly building way. But you have a great voice.
ReplyDeleteha ha.. I know the feeling.. freaking out in a slowly building way.. thanks Mary..
ReplyDeleteI heard your song for the first time in 1984 on the radio, it was night and summer. I was younger and somewhere else. And your voice comforted me. As there appeared to be no dj in the program to tell me who had sung, I decided to put the song in a drawer in my head. Tonight I am older. I have just found your song and bought it, and found your blog to thank you, Jane.
