Say What You Want by Texas

What makes this song memorable is that I was really fascinated by Charlene's hair in the video for this song. During 3rd Year high school I wanted to get that kind of hair, a girls short hair cut, as I was growing a lot of hair that time (also liked Gwyneth Paltrow's cut at that time). Her blue shirt also made an impression on me!

There was a day during that year, I went to the Isetann Mall in Recto with friends Marlon and Ariel to check some eyeglasses, as Marlon had an idea of changing our look. I bought a round, no rim eye glasses ala John Lennon. When I went home, I remember seeing the video for this song.

I'm not particularly sure if this is a love song or a song of falling out (i guess its the latter), but i really like the way it was structured, the opening guitar riff and the whispering girl (I'm not sure what she was whispering) complements each other. It sounded so simple the first time i heard it, but listening to it right now I realize it has complicated elements.

Twenty seconds on the back time
I feel you're on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For its no longer fun
Ah no no

Well, you can say what you want
But it wont change my mind
Ill feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it wont change my feelings
Ill feel the same
About you

What I am is what you want of me
Yeah, now that I'm not there
I took the tables away from you
Its turned that I don't care

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For its no longer fun
Ah no no

Well, you can say what you want
But it wont change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it wont change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

I've said goodnight
Try to sleep tight
Ah just dream of me
Go close your eyes
Cause Ive closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeah

Well, you can say what you want
But it wont change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it wont change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you
