Stereo

I am never too fond of the local radio stations. The only time I would listen to radio is when I am driving to work in the morning, that short 10 minutes drive. So anyways, once in a while Tim and Sherena over at Red 104.9 FM would play some tunes that totally bring back those good old days of 90s alternative rock.

I remember the time they played Primitive Radio Gods’ Phone Booth song. It got me go crazy over that song all over again. And this morning, after a quick bank robbing session, they played Mansun’s Wide Open Space on a listener’s request. I can’t help but to just sit back, relax, drive at the slowest speed possible and enjoy the moment.

Thank you, listener. It has been ages since I heard that song.

Wide Open Space
by Mansun
from Attack Of The Grey Lantern (1996)

I’m in a wide open space, I’m standing
I’m all alone and staring into space
It’s always quiet thru’ my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

I’m in a wide open space, it’s freezing
You’ll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I’m in a wide open space, I’m staring
There’s something quite bizarre I cannot see

I’m on the top of a hill, I’m lonely
There’s someone here to shout to miles away
I could be back in my house, for I care
They do not hear me, it’s the same old case

I’m in a wide open space, it’s freezing
You’ll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I’m in a wide open space, I’m staring
There’s something quite bizarre I cannot see

Wide open space, I’m standing
I’m all alone and staring into space
It’s always quiet thru’ my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

I’m in a wide open space, it’s freezing
You’ll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I’m in a wide open space, I’m staring
There’s something quite bizarre I cannot see

I’m in a wide open space, it’s freezing
You’ll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I’m in a wide open space, I’m staring
There’s something quite bizarre I cannot see
