Every face, even the one you saw yesterday
It looks different today
'Cause every thing's changed since yesterday
In every possible way
Things seem different today
Not like yesterday

Is consideration more like
An exception of consideration?

'Cause you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?

When you're secure, do you feel much safer?
As days never change and it's three years later
It's like your life hasn't changed
And it's three years late
How does it feel to be three years late?
And watching your youth drift away
What seems different, seems different today
And what seems different, seems different today

Is consideration more like
An exception of consideration?

'Cause you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?

You have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms
Tonight, tonight?

'Cause you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?

'Cause you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?

Suffers badly in comparison when immediately preceded by Jimi Hendrix "Manic Depression."

A 5.8? I bumped it 7 > 8.  This is a pretty vibrant upbeat track.  Crank it up.

Vibrant alt rock from Scotland - loved it then, love it now.

Former name for JFL Intl Airport in Queens NY. 
Also the name of a park in Queens, near the airport. 
Also the name of a book store in the West Village on 7th Ave. S.

Come to know, there are many Idlewild s.

And the tune is pretty good, although a bit derivative. Sonic Distortion?

 




Also the name of a famous Indian Chief! ...called "Indians" back then!

    It could be worse.  Somewhere in the English speaking world, there must be at least a few other fellows with the real names of Donald J. Trump or Harvey Weinstein.  Bubo Nic Plague might be less problematic.

Not bad, sounds like The Smiths wannabes. That’s not a bad thing. Little Morrisey-like.

Nothing to complain about.Nice guitar pop. Is this the same copy that always plays on RP? It sounds different. Maybe I'm just remembering wrong.

Okay, that's a little spooky too, but still funny.

This is not a good song. That little snare drum fill at the end of each phrase is like announcing the arrival of the Lone Ranger or something. Ugg.

Nearly choked on my lunch. Such an original assessment. Can't think of Pez without giggling lafter the Seinfeld episode with the the Pez at the Piano Recital. Oh, my comment on the song.. I always turn this one down. Hurts me ears. eval wrote:

I think he has a sexy voice and I, for one, love this song! I can't help but sing along! Thanks again RP for another great one!

Morrissey clone, or wannabe?

The music is okay, but hearing that guy\'s scratch voice when he says \"today\" is one of the most annoying noises in the world.
