Default Stop And Stare...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zhpqXbndFvQ

...can't get this song out of my head just now...I love it...just keep playing it over and over in the car...played it coming in today and probably play it going home tonight... stop and stare, I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere...Stop and stare ...You start to wonder why you're here not there and you'd give anything to get what's fair ...




This town is colder now
I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move
I'm shakin' off the rust
I've got my heart set
on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands just take the wheel
Every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Ohhh

Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see

They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags I never thought I could
Steady feet don't fail me now,
I'm a run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out, and I'm standing down.

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
But I've become what I can't be
Whoa!!!
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see?

That video was a little lame, the song wasn't bad...just a little generic. I think the video needed karate or something.

This is the link to the finest piece of music ever created since Buddy Holly.

Note the bass player differences.

I understand what the pistols were about but sorry hated them Tommy...lol

I like the stop stare song because it's reminiscent of 1980's music and style which I love...proper lyrics, a chorus and melody :-)

didn't mind the video either...depending on life experience people will interpret it different ways...

It still needs karate.

I guess during the 70s there was disco or nothing. Zeppelin was gone, no real rock was happening. The Pistols (Ramones/clash) were really a revelation. Now they seem goofy, but they represent the death of disco and it allowed us non-pretty people to feel good about ourselves and identify with a movement besides white suits and cocaine.

but I still think that video needed karate.

Didn't watch the video (played it underneath what I was doing here at work) but the song is good. Kinda haunting. I'm with you, Juliet,about the 80's music though. Best music ever made. Also like alot of the harder alternative stuff nowadays. I guess I'm a musical ho! LOL

You are right though, fish.....every video could use a little kung fu (preferrably pretty women doing it)

I liked the 70's music too...Eagles, Supertramp, Queen...wasn't it the era of the supergroups?
