STREET OF FIRE: KAKO JE JEDNA PESMA ZAPALILA SRCA SLUŠALACA

NOWHERE FAST

Jednom kad je čujete, više iz srca ne izlazi... Ova fantastična, energična i zapaljiva pesma napisana je specijalno za film "Vatrene ulice" (Streets of Fire) Waltera Hilla, 1984.god.

Napisao ju je Jim Steinman, koji je napisao i većinu hitova Meat Loafa. Film je inače dobio naziv po pesmi Brucea Springsteena. Film je priča o mladoj, lokalnoj zvezdi Ellen Aim koju otima Raven, lider bajkerskog čopora, zvanog Bombers i zatvara je u bar Batery, pokušavajući da je natera da s njim ostvari neku vrstu odnosa...Ellen se nekad zabavljala sa Tomom Codyjem, koji je upravo napustio vojsku. On dobija pismo od sestre, Reve, koja ga moli da pomogne Ellen da se izbavi iz ralja izopačenog Ravena...

Ellen je glumila Diane Lane, ali je vokal snimila Holly Sherwood, poznata i kao backup pevačica u pesmama Barbre Streisand, Billyja Joela i Barryja Manilowa. Steinman je napisao i pesmu "Tonight is what it mean to be Young", takođe za film.

Pesmu "Nowhere Fast" otpevao je i Meat Loaf i ona se nalazi na njegovom albumu "Bad Attitude" iz 1984. godine.

sing along...

Lying in your bed and on a Saturday night You're sweatin' buckets and it's not even hot But your brain has got the message And it's sending it out To every nerve and every muscle you've got

You've got so many dreams That you don't know where to put 'em So you'd better turn a few of 'em loose Your body's got a feeling that it's starting to rust You'd better rev it up and put it to use

And I don't know how I ever thought that I could make it all alone When you only make it better And it better be tonight And we'll fly away on those angel wings of chrome in your daddy's car Waiting there for you tonight I'll be there for you tonight

Even if you don't have anywhere to go You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll And even if you don't have anywhere to go You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll And your speed Is all you'll ever need All you'll ever need to know Darlin', darlin'

You and me we're goin' nowhere slowly And we've gotta get away from the past There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby But we should be goin' nowhere fast

Everybody's goin' nowhere slowly They're only fighting for the chance to be last There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby But we should be goin' nowhere fast It's so much better goin' nowhere fast

Ah Stalkin' in the shadows by the light of the moon It's like a prison and the night is a cell Goin' anywhere has gotta be heaven tonight 'Cause stayin' here has gotta be hell Dyin' in the city like a fire on the water Let's go runnin' on the back of the wind There's gotta' be some action on the face of the earth And I've gotta see your face once again

And I don' know where I ever got the bright idea that I was cool So alone and independent But I'm depending on you now And you'll always be the only thing that I just can't be without And I'm out for you tonight I'm comin' out for you tonight

Even if you don't have anywhere to go You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll (ready to roll) Even if you don't have anywhere to go You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll And your speed Is all you'll ever need All you'll ever need to know Darlin', darlin'

You and me we're goin' nowhere slowly And we've gotta get away from the past There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby But we should be goin' nowhere fast

Everybody's goin' nowhere slowly They're only fighting for the chance to be last There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby But we should be goin' nowhere fast

Godspeed Godspeed Godspeed Speed us away!
