I haven’t been sleeping much lately. There are issues that are too personal for the web, and I don’t want to become one of those people (I’d be linking someone from my past there, but I don’t want to give her any hits 😉 ). In the meantime, I’ve been watching a lot of Scrubs. A number of people kept telling me to watch it, and now I’m finally catching up after having downloaded the first season and a half (the rest of season two is on it’s way 🙂 ). One of the best parts of the show is its use of music. I was particularly excited when they used the incredible “Fighting for My Love” by Nil Lara in one episode. But what hit me most was a later episode that had a trobadour following the main character around for much of the episode singing a song with an acoustic guitar. I knew I recognized him and his voice, and eventually realized that it was Colin Hay from Men at Work. The song was an acoustic version of “Overkill” from their 1983 album Cargo. It’s an amazing rendition that, for obvious (well, to me at least) reasons, has been running through my head non-stop. I guess I’ll just reprint the lyrics without permission or written consent:
I can’t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complicationsEspecially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perahaps its just my imaginationDay after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade awayAlone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It’s time to walk the streets
Smell the desperationAt least there’s pretty lights
And though there’s little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkillDay after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade awayI can’t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complicationsEspecially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It’s just overkillDay after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
