the 90s were definitely a thing, I wish I was there...

[caballein]

Despite performing the song from memory, he sounds and moves just like in the video, its rare to have an artist be able to perform live exactly how they do in a studio. Simply awesome, a timeless song.

[MrSimpleAllan]

This song just feels like it was way ahead of its time for me. Timeless masterpiece

PASARAN AÑOS AÑOS Y SIEMPRE SERA MUSICA DE ALTO NIVEL

[dayvisoncam]

Oh life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper, of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this the hint of the century
Consider this the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, fly, try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream

Man the 90s were a time I wish I was in. This kind of raw performance, near perfect and just beautiful.

[Mauro_B._Vieira.]

Those were my youth days and weeks and months and years listening the radio!

As músicas boas já foram feitas
Saudades...
