in the air tonight...

I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life... oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight... oh lord, oh lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand.
I've seen your face before, my friend,
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did,
I saw it with my own two eyes...
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight... oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life... oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight... oh lord, oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life... oh lord, oh lord

Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget,
it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up,
no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord...
I've been looking forward to this flick since a serendipitous convergence of targeted marketing caught me in its crosshairs back around Christmas (I'll try to explain in a next blog soon).

I've heard an edit of the cover of "In The Air Tonight" in the TV ads and hafta say I'm not loving the whiny rock of it, bleah. I wanna believe it was forced on Michael Mann by some boardroom music-film industry synergy. I much prefer Stewie's version, from when he's sucked into the television set by the poltergeists. Much truer to the original.

Keep on keepin on~
