NP: Too Young by Phoenix from the original soundtrack of the movie "Lost in Translation"
Who would have thought that I would have fallen hook,line and sinker for a popish/get-shoes-on-and-hit-the-dance-floor kinda track by an obscure artist on a movie soundtrack, while I got new stuff from Henning Pauly, Kevin Moore and the likes...Not to mention a surprise find of a Joni Mitchell CD at Planet-M and the timely delivery of online ordered stuff....And out of the blue comes this track, which seemed almost like a bright streak of light in an otherwise dull day so much so that I have had it on repeat mode for the past half an hour and I am still not bored....Apart from the fact that it is peppy, very 80ish, glaringly simple, it has that energy and tempo to take you back to your late teenage summer years where you taste the first traces of love...True to its title, it makes you feel "too young"....
But seriously, I can't remember the last time I heard a song which had a "baby" in it...Jeez! Guess I ~am~ getting too bracketed in my music....
Baby when I saw you turning at the end of the street
I knew a time was gone and it took me like ages
Just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy
I tried my best to smile but deep inside my heart
I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is
Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancin' oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
I can't lie on my bed without thinking I was wrong
But when this feeling calls this world becomes another
Nighttime won't hold me in your arms again
I got a very good friend who says he can't believe the love I give
Is not enough to end your fears
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is
Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's shakin' oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
Oh rainfalls and hard times coming they won't leave me tonight
I wish I knew what I was doing
Just do let this spirit survive
Can't you hear me calling oh yeah
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is
Can't you hear me calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young....
