This song came up randomly on Apple Music and I had to find it on RU-vid to watch Betty Buckley sing it; listening wasn't enough. What a fantastic song!
Katrina Rose reminds me of the conviction and drive of performing by Judy Garland. I don't see her on Broadway. She is a larger than life singer. Worthy of getting to that one woman concert gal.
{Eric} Well, i'm a writer A writer of songs Pretty little dingies and singalongs So i ain't made a dime in a while Been hittin' the circuit To sell my wares Got a lot of material Nobody cares They tell me that my songs have gone out of style Mhmm, hey hey I score a showcase Some big record man I know by the end He's gonna be my fan I play my music bit by bit Woo! Well my hands are shakin' My head is high He sees this and fidgets Says "what else you got?" I shrug and i'm like "well, that was it" He says "if you'd come in here in '73 You're the kind that i would have signed instantly But it's now, not then, so if i may be bold Your material just feels a little old" I walk out his office Head full of strife 'cause this is the story of my life I'm in the Right place at the wrong time And it's a short walk But a long climb I'm in the Right place at the Wrong time I'm in the right song with the wrong rhyme Is there a space where i belong i'm Just in the right place at the Wrong time Hey, hey Is there anybody who feels this way? {katrina} I am a singer My dreams are big But producer's minds are small So i can't get a gig And i've been at it for a while In my corola, i drive around From audition to audition They don't like my sound Tell me my singing out of style Singin' in a bar, owner looks at my face Says me i remind him of a girl who used to work in this place She made it real big, but that was way back when You'd be set if you'd been around then I throw back a whiskey Then one more Because i've heard it all before I'm in the Right place at the wrong time And it's a short walk But a long climb I'm in the Right place at the Wrong time I'm in the right song with the wrong rhyme Is there a space where i belong i'm Just in the right place at the Wrong time Hey, hey Is there anybody who feels this way? Mhmm {eric} I leave the building {katrina} Walk out the bar {eric} I head for the street {katrina} And i get in my car {eric} I'm prayin', lord Please send some kind of sign Then i see the woman Her eyes are deep and black {katrina} In my windshield there's a man With a guitar on his back {eric & katrina} I wonder if her/his life is just like mine {katrina} Stare at each other {eric} Feelings hypnotized {katrina} We never break the contact from each other's eyes {eric} Even as she accidentally mows me down {katrina} Now he's bloody on the pavement {eric} And i am close to death And i could smell the alcohol upon her breath {katrina} And i hear sirens comin' from across the town {eric & katrina} And now my song is done and my life is too And my story is a testament to all those who Are in the {katrina} Right place at the wrong time {eric} Right place at the wrong time {katrina} Short walk but a long climb {eric} Short walk but a long climb {katrina} Right place at the wrong time {eric} Right place at the wrong time {katrina} I'm in the right song with the wrong rhyme {eric} Right song with the wrong rhyme {katrina} Is there a space where i belong i'm {eric} Space where i belong i'm {katrina} Right place at the {eric & katrina} Wrong time We're in the Right place at the wrong time And it's a short walk But a long climb We're in the Right place at the Wrong time We're in the right song with the wrong rhyme Is there a space where i belong i'm Just in the right place at the Wrong time Hey, hey Now i'm not the only person who feels this way Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, hey Hey, he-e-ey Hey, he-e-ey Hey, he-e-ey Hey hey, he-e-ey Mhmm Mhmm Right place, wrong time
Why do I suddenly worry that the guy that I like that also likes me fantasizes about being in the apartment across from mine because I live in a apartment complex where the windows are paralld to each other , I don't think he's a creep but I always worry he thinks about "things"......
He’s an alcoholic, and dealing with depression, and he admires how free the woman he watches is, and how confident she is in herself, and then he realizes that he’ll not only never be that confident, but that he hates himself, so he jumps out her window. That’s my interpretation, and it could be wrong, but that’s how I see it 😊
