Oleta Adams - Get Here

Not many artist can sing as good as Whitney Houston.

Not many artist can hit the high note with ease like Celine Dion.
Not many artist can sell as many album as Mariah Carey.
Not many artist is as clueless as Britney Spears (Thanks God!).
Not many artist is as superficial as Paris Hilton (Can anyone please kill her singing career for good?!)

I remember many many years ago, I heard this song in a friend's CD and immediately hooked, impressed and checked out the singer - Oleta Adams - Admas who? It was kind of hard to describe the feeling when I first heard about this song but it calmed me and at that time I kept playing it on the player over and over and over again. She does not have a big voice but listen to her singing this song over and over again is such a joy. She sings as if she is eagerly and full-heartedly waiting for her lover to get close and near. The emotion of the song just come through the music and her voice - get here if you can... I don't care how long.

All these years I have heard various versions covered by other artistes but none of them is just as good.



GET HERE
By Oleta Adams

You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

You can reach me by sailboat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slope
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedcote
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had the way
Surely you`d be closer
I need you closer

You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you`d better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

I don`t care, I don`t care
I need you right here right now
I need you right here right now right by my side yeah
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can
