The other side of the radio

check out these lyrics of "the other side of the radio" by Chris Rice
Here I am on the other side of the radio
Wonderin' why I'm here and why anybody cares what I say
No I’m not a better man cause I'm singing my songs on the radio
Cause were all the same, at the end of the day
Now I imagine you on the other side of the radio
Doin' your homework or driving with your windows down on the freeway
I see you tappin' the wheel I see you bobbin' your head to the radio
Oh and it makes my day, to see that smile on your face
And in some small way, I remember my place
Cause it's you and me singing the same song right now
And maybe this will bring us together somehow
And maybe there's a million people all singing along
Somebody started thinkin' about the third line
And maybe somebody's saying a prayer for the first time
And that's enough reason to keep me singing my song,
Singing my songs, on the other side of the radio
Crank up the volume sing at the top of your lungs with the radio
Tune it in to some good news and laughing along with the DJ
We're changing someone's world from the other side of the radio
Oh and it makes my day to see that smile on your face
And in some small way, I remember my place
Cause it's you and me singing the same song right now
And maybe this will bring us together somehow
And maybe there's a million people all singing a long
Somebody started thinkin' about the third line
And maybe somebody's saying a prayer for the first time
And that's enough reason to keep me singing my song
Singing my song, on the other side of the radio (2X)
Dah Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah
Other Side of the Radio (3X)
How creative is that huh? and FUN to listen to too...
Music has a way of influencing its listeners..some ignorant, some very knowledgeable..some just pleasure-seekers...
personally I feel the lyrics of a song make it what it becomes...
Be it the anthem-like "youth of the nation" or the wailing from the microphone: "somewhere I belong" ...
every style of music has its defenders, admirers...(hmm although I don't sympathise with 'techno' lovers...*rolls eyes*HOW???)
But yeah ...sometimes I find myself listening to some artists/genres that are not THE happening stars...like I'm not such a great fan of country..but the touching "wide open spaces" by Dixie Chicks made me wonder otherwise..also "I love u this much" by Jimmy Wayne(btw, u gotta check out his life-story..)
But I guess what makes music music is the reason why its played...some may use it to get fame and believe me ..it shows..("hit me baby one more time" WHAT??!)
I guess that's what creates one-hit-wonders ( "where is the love") ..somewhere among the 10-12 songs per album...a group/band/artist ends up singing that one song...that has just the right rhythm..the right words and the right emotion....
I don't know if you, the reader got anything out of this...so I will sum it up in this...
"talk less, say more" and if a song can do that...I guess its job is done...whether it gets an AMA or a Grammy or not.

It reminded me of Queen’s song Radio Ga Ga
Radio Id sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And evrything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by mars
You made em laugh - you made em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio
So dont become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just dont know or just dont care
And just complain when youre not there
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio whats new?
Radio someone still loves you
We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Lets hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time you had the power
Youve yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio whats new?
Someone still loves you
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio
You had your time you had the power
You’ve yet to have your finest hour Radio

Here is something from Wiki
In filming the "clap" sequence, the extras got the beat down perfectly; the band members, however, needed some practice before they got it right.
All the extras in the "clap" sequence were recruited from the band's official fan club.
