It's a fast paced, soft-rock hit. It's not the loud banging guitars or anything like that. Fast, smooth vocals with a piano background. I'd compare it to Phill Collins and Peter Gabriel

perhaps: We Close Our Eyes by Oingo Boingo ??

We Close Our Eyes
Written by Danny Elfman

We close our eyes (close our eyes)
We close our eyes and dream
And the world has turned around again, oh

When everybody is running in the big race
And havin' a good time
Who am I to cast a shadow, who am I
I looked death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror
And I simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time.

We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (close our eyes)
That another year has come and gone
We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (close our eyes).

And if you come to me and if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear, who am I
And if you think I'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late
You might start falling
If we don't try too hard
We might start falling in love.

We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
That another year has come and gone
We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (close our eyes).

We're on a healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride
That can never turn back
And if you really try
We'll make the seconds count
And we can close our eyes.

We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes (close our eyes)
We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (close our eyes).

[Just this one thread]

I was searching for what I believe is the same song this morning.

Is it Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson?

I found it with the line "get into the car and drive, to the other side"

 

[stargazr]

Thanks, that's really helpful

Almost 22 years later. What is with the necro threads? Is this the place people come to test bots and chatgpt?

I was searching for (what I think is) the same song, and this thread was in the search results for the lyrics that I did know.

so i left the result for future searchers

Yep..... that's been the case for quite awhile now.

Also it's strong evidence that "AI" is still freaking really dumb.

And as an aside, I wonder what the record is for the oldest ATOT necro ever?
