It happened when I was having a late night online chat session.
Hearing the song on my radio, a smile slowly crept up onto on my face.
As if singing along wasn't enough, I felt a need to "sing online" as well.
Clearly not thinking, I interrupted the conversation I was having online by typing the lyrics to the song as I sung along.
"2am n the rain is fallinggggggg
Here we are at the crossroads once again
Your telling me you're sooooooo confused
You can't make up your mind
Issss this meant to beeeeeeeeeeeee
Your asking meeeeeeeeeeeeee"
Complete with typos in order to keep up with the song, I looked at the mess I had created in this particular chat window.
I don't know how I managed to do it, but I have actually just slaughtered a perfectly good song, online, no less.
Out of point-ness? check.
Temporary Insanity? check.
Brain? hmmm.
Embarrassment started to take its effect and I wondered what the other party would think of my "singing".
I paused, just as the lead of trademark drew in breathe to belt out the chorus.
"But oooonly love can sayyy
Try again or walk awayyyyyy
But i believeeeee for u and me
The sun will shine one day yyyyyyy"
To my surprise, the person knew exactly what song I was killing and decided to kill it somemore.
That night, back in 2001, we kar-ra-oked to the wee hours of the morning.
