(I) woke up in my clothes again this morning I don't know exactly where I am And I should heed my doctor's warning He does the best with me he can He claims I suffer from delusion But I'm so confident I'm sane It can't be an optical illusion How can you explain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain And if you see us on the corner We're just dancing in the rain I tell my friends there when I see them Outside my window pane Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain I woke up in my clothes again this morning I don't know exactly where I am I should heed my doctor's warning He does the best with me he can He claims I suffer from delusion I'm so confident I'm sane It can't be an optical illusion How can you explain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain
This LIVE performance with Kenny, Omar, Branford & Darryl puts the original POLICE version to shame! Brilliant way to open his Paris show. Also 43 is way way too young to die. r.i.p Kenny ; (
Amazing how a stage full of genius musicians playing like crazy can make a sound that has less interest and impact than the two guys he wrote this with. Each individual part is astounding. Love Kenny’s solo. On a micro level everything is slamming. But wow, so little character / personality, on the macro-level.
Take a marginally-talented musician/entertainer who writes pointless lyrics and combine him with the absolute creme of the crop of American jazz/session musicians and voila! Here is your result. Peewee Herman or Weird Al could have stood in front of that crowd and wowed them with these black folks, trust me.
