Runaway Train – Live by Soul Asylum

Posted on the August 5th, 2010 under Bear time,Video by papabear

In 1994, I was sent to Switzerland to collect and bring back some technical drawings. For 5 weeks, they put up in a house in a quiet little kampung called Langenthal. In between the sound of cow bells and the fresh smell of cow dung every time the window is opened, the only entertainment there was from a small TV in the basement.

It had limited channels and all of the were in German. My favorite channel was one music channel, which I could not remember the name, that played lots of German and French songs and once in a blue moon, would play an English song. During my 5 weeks there, the only English song that was aired over and over again was Runaway Train by the rock band Soul Asylum…

Enjoy the music from the past

By the way, this song won Grammy Award for the best rock song in 1994.

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn’t even sleep
So many secrets I couldn’t keep
Promised myself I wouldn’t weep
One more promise I couldn’t keep

It seems no one can help me now
I’m in too deep there’s no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I’m neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life’s mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just a-drownin’ in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And everything seems cut and dried
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don’t believe it

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I’m neither here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It’s just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I’m neither here nor there

Runaway train, never coming back
Runaway train, tearing up the track
Runaway train, burning in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same

The Flame – Live by Cheap Trick

Posted on the July 25th, 2010 under Bear time,Video by papabear

Another blast from the past. The Flame was one of the songs that I played a lot in 1988 when I was living in the US. 1988 was my first year in the US and I was longing for home, family, friends, people and pets… I was stranded by myself in Beaumont while all my friends were having a great time in Houston… duh… They are both cities in Texas and only about 1 hour drive away, in case you are wondering…

Anyway, here is a live clip of that song, which was first released on July 25, 1988.

Enjoy  listening… Layan… And here is the lyric for those who wish to sing along or wondering what were said in the song…

Another night slowly closes in, and I feel so lonely
Touching heat freezing on my skin, I pretend you still hold me
I’m going crazy, I’m losing sleep, I’m in too far, I’m in way too deep
Over you, I can’t believe you’re gone
You were the first, you’ll be the last

Wherever you go, I’ll be with you, whatever you want, I’ll give it to you
Whenever you need someone, to lay your heart and head upon
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame, I will be the flame

Watching shadows move across the wall, I feel so frightened
I wanna run to you, I wanna call, but I’ve been hit by lightning
Just can’t stand up for falling apart
Can’t see through this veil across my heart
Over you, you’ll always be the one, you were the first, you’ll be the last

Wherever you go, I’ll be with you, whatever you want, I’ll give it to you
Whenever you need someone, to lay your heart and head upon
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame, I will be the flame

I’m going crazy, I’m losing sleep, I’m in too far, I’m in way too deep
Over you, you’ll always be the one, you were the first, you’ll be the last

Wherever you go, I’ll be with you, whatever you want, I’ll give it to you
Whenever you need someone, to lay your heart and head upon
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame, I will be the flame

Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you
Wherever you go, I’ll be with you, & whatever you want, I’ll give it to you
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you

You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine

Posted on the July 8th, 2010 under Pasha,Video,movie by papabear

If you have watched Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, you would know Scrat, the saber-toothed squirrel that was obsessed with acorns. In Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Scrat was torn between his love for acorn and Scratte, the female saber-toothed squirrel that could fly…

Pasha is now obsessed with Scrat and he calls him Misquit. I had to put the video in his PC so that he could watch it anytime he wants…

And now the song You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine is stuck in my head…

Here is Pasha’s favorite scene.

And here is the full song for you to enjoy…

Pasha hopes you like that!
