Runaway

This sums up life at the moment, it will return to normal... hopefully. While I contemplate these songs help me meditate and cogitate on the events of the past weeks...

Iio is a duo that I have come to love lately, mostly because of very good vocals by Nadia Ali, who by the way is also of Lebanese decent, something in common with Shakira who's new album Fijacion Oral, Vol. 1 is on my wishlist. Shakira is in my opinion a very underrated artist. As you can see the list is not just dance but has some oldies and heavy rock as well... quite an eclectic listen... Another favourite on the list is Belinda Carlisle and Runaway Horses, pity I missed the show! The budget just did not justify me going on my own...
Today's lyrics come from the second track in the list... a momentary summary of my thoughts...
Diana Fox - Running On Empty
I look back on my life what do I find,
I feel I'm running on empty,
Even in the corner of my mind,
I feel I'm running on empty,
Even if I spread my wings and fly,
I feel I'm running on empty,
Baby if you run with me tonight,
I feel the torture ending

Running o-u-o-u-ooon, running on empty, running on empty,
Running o-u-o-u-ooon, running on empty, running on empty,
Running on empty, running on empty

Running on empty, running on empty, ...

I look back on my life what do I find,
I feel I'm running on empty,
Even in the corner of my mind,
I feel I'm running on empty,
Even if I spread my wings and fly,
I feel I'm running on empty,
Baby if you run with me tonight,
I feel the torture ending

Running o-u-o-u-ooon, running on empty, running on empty,
Running o-u-o-u-ooon, running on empty, running on empty

Running o-u-o-u-ooon, running on empty,
Running o-u-o-u-ooon, running on empty
Running on empty, running on empty, running on empty
And now to end the day's ruminations with this light though... As I say... one has to smile at least once a day!
