I Want You

This was totally random.... What are the odds?



I was driving home from work scanning through channels, tuned in heard Savage Garden's "I want You".

Me being me, I had to look it up when I got home and found myself surprised that it was released in 1997 in America; somehow, I was thinking it was a late 80's song.  Savage Garden is an Australian pop group, and I always liked their hits.   Of course, "Truly, Madly, Deeply" was the hit I liked the BEST!

Anytime I need to see your face, 

I just close my eyes 

And I am taken to a place where 

your crystal mind and 

Magenta feelings take up shelter 

in the base of my spine 

Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola 

Ooh, I want you 

I don't know if I need you 

But, ooh, I'd die to find out 

My younger self came over me as I cranked the volume and belted it out right along with the band!  

But what was totally random was getting in the car the next morning, and this same song was on the radio!  Now, it's nearly 20 years later, and this wasn't a huge hit for them;  in 1997 it was #22 on the Top 100 Hits list.  It's not often played on the local "oldies" stations, so how random was it that it played -- and I heard it -- twice in a row?   You can hear it here on Vevo. 

I like little random-ness things like this!
