Every night I tell myself I am the cosmos. I am the wind. But that don't get you back again. Just when I was starting to feel okay. You're on the phone. I never wanna be alone. Never wanna be alone. I hate to have to take you home. Wanted so much to say no. no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Never wanna be alone. I hate to have to take you home. Want you too bad to say no. no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My feelings always have been something I couldn't hide. I can't confide. Don't know what's going on inside. So every night I tell myself I am the cosmos. I am the wind. But that don't get you back again. I'd really like to see you again. I really want to see you again. I'd really like to see you again. That don't get you back again. I really want to see you again. I'd really like to see you again. I really want to see you again. I'd really like to see you again. That don't get you back again. I'd really want to see you again. I know I'd like to see you again. No. I never want to see you again. |

Group: Memberz Warn: (0%) Connections... A song that often plays in my head is This Mortal Coil's "I Am The Cosmos". Great song but I've never figured out the connection between the cosmos, the wind and (not) wanting to see you again. So I thought I'd do a bit of research yesterday. TMC's "Blood" CD was released in 1991 and I bought it pretty soon after. I commented in the liner notes that my two favorite songs on the CD, and only those two, were written by C. Bell. Yesterday I found out that C. Bell was Chris Bell, a founding member of Big Star, who died in a car crash in 1978. He had recorded the song on his only solo album, and it was also covered by the Posies, a staple of WAPS (yeah, the Summit!) during the very early '90s. In 1972 Big Star had released "In The Street", which reappeared twenty seven years later as the theme song for "That '70s Show", covered first by Todd Griffin and then by Cheap Trick. Guitar goth meets power pop. Still don't get the connection though. - Bill |
