"When I Needed You"

[Curtis St. John]

Im sitting here with music playing and this song comes on by Erasure, and all of a sudden, I was paying rapt attention because it sounded so much like all of our stories summed up in one song.

Woof, this one really hits me.

Let me know what you think.


Id like to be a child again
So many things to do
Playground noise, and coloured toys
And everything brand new

Id like to be a pirate ship
In search of hidden gold
On ocean waves that swim away
And sail around the world

-chorus:
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

Id like to be a soldier
A general I would be
In battle and in glory
With ten thousand men to lead

I could be most anything
There is so much to see
Id live a different story
If you were next to me

Chorus

Chorus

I could be most anything
There is so much to see
Id live a different story
If you were next to me

Where, where

Chorus to fade

 

[Ivanhoe]

Curtis,

This one sounds like it affects you the way that the movie, "Stand By Me," affected me.

Here I go twisting the topic, but the movie that gets me is (get ready to roll your eyes) A Knight's Tale

... Because it tells the story of a nobody who makes himself somebody.

Its worth it to rent at least.
