3 days later and the song was still bugging me. I just had to know that song but all I remembered was a few lines...
"I was alone, I opened my eyes and you were there". Now, how on earth am I gonna get some answers based on just those lines alone! But I tried anyway and did a search using that words I have and voila! I finally found the answers to my predicament, yipee!! :)
The song was called 'You Were There' which was sung by an Australian band way back in the 90's, called Southern Sons. It's a really nice, lovey dovey song, kinda melancholic. The lead singer is Jack Jones, but he now calls himself Irwin Thomas (his birthname). Irwin has this soothing and calming voice, and the song puts you in a mellow mood... I find myself floating in the clouds whenever I hear it. The song just makes you want to be alone and have a good cry... not cos you're broken hearted or anything, it just tugs the core of my heart. Yeah, cheesy but I don't know how else to describe it.
Here's a pic of Jack Jones (in black & white). The picture inset is Adam Levine, lead singer of Maroon 5. I'm amazed with the likeness! Take a listen to the song and tell me what you think. The song was released in 1993, so big hair was the in thing that time, remember Michael Bolton? :)The other video is probably taken much later (minus the big hair and he looked slimmer too). He doesn't sing ballads now as he's more into rock songs. Checkout his songs at his myspace page. What a transition!

Ok, I have no idea who they are but I love the song :D It didn't bring tears to my eyes though but it was enough to make me go download this in my list of songs ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right they do look so alike!
Sya pun begitu tu, Nessa. Bikin gerigitan betul tu kalo nda ingat title apa2la, lagu ka, movie ka... Selalunya time mandi baru la sya tiba2 ingat tu. Hmmm, ya bah, sama muka dorang kan. Macam juga si Kevin dari BSB yang B&W punya pic. Siok jugak la ni song. :)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel coz i often felt the same longing for the old days... i felt stupid sometimes but...... can't describe either
ReplyDeleteNick ~ Oh, I doubt it'll bring tears to your eyes or other guys for that matter! Women are emotional beings la, not to mention complicated! LOL
ReplyDeleteCrystal ~ Sia kalu inda ingat, sia pi google seja! Haha
ReplyDeleteEh, you're right la, he (Jack/Irwin) also looks like Kevin from BSB. Pelanduk dua serupa betul!
Queen Bee ~ I don't think you should feel stupid. I think I understand what you're feeling. I'd get teary eyed especially when I see/hear something that reminds me of the past. It's a natural reaction I guess :)
ReplyDeleteWow they really do look the same!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I've got a simple copy and paste tag for ya.
I first heard this song many years back. I like it. Pretty uplifting song, duncha think?
ReplyDeleteHi nessa,
ReplyDeleteYes I used to hum this song too in the good ol' days hehhe... but unlike you, I never bothered to actually find out who was the singer or the title of this song. I took it for granted cos those days this song was on air till bored hehe.
The only verse I could sing along to was, "... I opened my eyes, and you were there..." Awwww...
Rozella ~ Kan sia suda bilang... hehe
ReplyDeleteSimple tag? Cool, I laik :D
Hi Perry! Welcome to my humble blog :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, same here. Haven't heard it for so long so imagine my surprise when I heard it again :) Makes me feel melancholic when I hear this song... about life way back then...
Thanks for dropping by, hope to see you again!
Hi Flodawn :)
ReplyDeleteThose days I didn't bother to find out the singer/title of the song too for the same reason... I wonder why this Australian band didn't make it big.
I listen to this song almost daily. Inda lama sia boring suda dingar ni lagu! LOL
I really want to hear the song that tugs the core of ur heart Nessa, but the video won't play it seems! Refreshed twice, but no sound.
ReplyDeleteI hate it too when there's a song playing in my head and I can't recall the title. Glad u got this one out of ur system! ;)
Marzie ~ That's odd, I've no problem watching the video (plus audio). Maybe you forgot to switch on your speakers?? Probably not ya, maybe you can try again. Hope it works this time :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm glad I managed to sort that one out. Thank goodness for the internet ya.
I actually thought that it was that Backstreet Boy guy! LOL! So samaaa.. but that Adam Levine guy pun sama jugaklah..hehehe..
ReplyDeleteI tried to listen to the song but it won't play. My connection ni memang.. when it comes to audios and videos.. it suddenly becomes a slowpoke! heheh..
Shemah ~ Yup, Kevin fm BSB pun ada iras2 muka dia kan :D Slowpoke reminds me of that cartoon Pokemon! LOL!
