'90s Gem of the Week/Year: "Distant Sun" by Crowded House I figured I'd close out 2008 with one of my favorites. This was the first single from their fourth album, 1993's Together Alone. Crowded House achieved success at different times around the world, as evidenced by their biggest charting singles in America ("Don't Dream It's Over" in 1987), Australia ("Better Be Home Soon" in 1988), and the U.K. ("Weather With You" in 1992). "Distant Sun" managed to reach #19 in Britain, but #116 was all it could muster in the U.S. However, it remains a favorite, routinely beating all comers in fan polls. I personally prefer "Don't Dream It's Over," but "Distant Sun" may be the perfect pop song. Anybody else in love with this majestic gem?

Tell me all the things you would change
I don't pretend to know what you want When you come around and spin my top Time and again, time and again No fire where I lit my spark I am not afraid of the dark Where your words devour my heart And put me to shame, put me to shame When your seven worlds collide Whenever I am by your side And dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone Still so young to travel so far Old enough to know who you are Wise enough to carry the scars Without any blame, theres no one to blame Easy to forget what you learn Waiting for the thrill to return Feeling your desire burn As you're drawn to the flame When your seven worlds collide Whenever I am by your side And dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone And I'm lying on a table Washed out in a flood Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above I don't pretend to know what you want But I offer love And seven worlds collide Whenever I am by your side And dust from a distant sun Will shower over everyone "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |
