80's music is my life companion.

Another long day at work. Luckily we're blessed with the freedom to connect whatever to our PCs, a good sound system and some CD's have been keeping me accompanied through these years. But cum year 2000 all the songs tend to sound about the same, don't bother to know them coz the lyrics are meaningless, even the melodies don't allow your hormones to circulate in a complete circle. So I haven't gotten myself any new CD's for quite some time.
Haven't been watching MTV and V channel too, all the video clips show nothing but soft porn, the same booty shakin' dance routine, all the black singers faces and butts look almost alike, white gal starlets seem to rev their voices the same way as C. Aguilera, very repetitive chorus. Guess it's a short cut to cut albums fast. Ugh!
The 80's era rocks, forever it will!
Toto is one of my favourites, the songs are suitable for long journey listening or during rain falls, the piano seem to humm along the cruising. Nobody expresses frustrations in lyrics the way Toto does because even if you listen to the whole CD in instrumental version, everyone will get the same inference and vibe.

Such a simple lyric, but the music brought it to an infinite depth. What does 'as soon as forever is through' means to you?

I'LL BE OVER YOU.

Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people’s destiny
Passes by

There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
That’s how our love must be
Don’t ask why

Bridge:
It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you

Chorus:
As soon as my heart stops breakin’
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I’ll be over you

Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same

Bridge:
There were the nights holding you close
Someday I’ll try to forget them
Someday I’ll be over you

Chorus
