When the blogging world was discussing the theme of songs dealing with romantic obsession, I didn’t think to mention one of my favorite songs of all-time, “Everywhere That I’m Not” by Translator, an obscure new wave band circa 1980, perhaps the first “alternative” band I listened to. Sample lyric (from memory):
I thought I saw you,Inexplicably, this song, which, unlike much of the new wave I listened to in my youth, still sounds absolutely great, never became a hit. Someone needs to cover it, now!
Out on the avenue,
But I guess,
It’s just someone who
looked a lot like I remember you doI thought I heard your voice
In a bar making a choice
But NO!
Such
luck,
It’s-just-someone-who-sounded-a-lot like I remember you do
