Kim Wilde song called Blade Runner
Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2005 4:30 pmHi
Thought that this might be of interest, but i found out that the singer Kim Wilde released an album back in 84 which includes a track called Blade Runner. On further investigation i found that it is actually based on the film. She went to see it and was so taken by it that she wrote a song with her Dad.
The album is called Teases and Dares, here are the lyrics.
("mother?")
("mother?")
Well as the city nights grow cold
The lights jump through the shutters
And a thousand echos fill the streets
And bounce along the dirty gutters
(out there)
I know that he's waiting for me
(somewhere)
I know that he's waiting there for me
I watched her falling to the ground
And saw the glass go flying
And inside her mind the fuse blew out
But deep inside a voice was crying
(out there)
I know that he's waiting for me
(somewhere)
I know that he's waiting there
Look out for the bladerunner
I thought i heard him calling you
And now a silence fills the room
I feel my heart start beating
'cos inside the shadows there he stands
He's waiting on our final meeting
(out there)
I know that he'd waited for me
(somewhere)
I know that he'd waited there for me
On another musical note, the track " if i didn't care" which was going to be used originally instead of One more Kiss, was used in the film and is on the soundtrack cd the Shawshank Redemtion.
Finally I have updated the items in my Blade Runner collection. They are coloured red.
Happy New Year

) - never heard the track you're talking about but if you've got 'Keep Me Hangin' On' listen out for a sound effect that sounds remarkably like a spinner 'fly-by'.
