Like a zombie in the night
You came
(You came, you came)
And you brought me back to life
I tried so hard
(I tried, I tried)
To become the one you need,
But now you think that you’re not enough for me
You don’t have to change for me
I love you just the way you are
I’d rather change the sun and the moon
Or see December snow in June
This song means a lot to me. Last year towards the end of summer, I couldn't get summer madness out of my head, so I would listen to it here on the tube. I did that for a few months and then decided to buy Light of Worlds to add to my collection not knowing this song was on there. I was first introduced to it when Pete Rock sampled it for We roll back in '08. I ordered the cd at the end of November and received it on December 6th. The day before I received it in the mail, I had spontaneous lung collapse which I thought was pneumonia. I was eventually hospitalized and needed surgery to correct it. After I was told I'd need surgery, I had this song on repeat and gazed out the window into the grey sky, in disbelief. I continued to play this often during my recovery, this song helped me get through a tough time.
Wow. Forgot all about this track. I'm 50. I wore this groove out when it came out. This whole album I found fascinating. Use to listen to it alone, headphones, in my room. Musta been 13/14 or so. Living in Germany. Didn't have any friends into funk/Kool. Lookin at all these comments regarding this album makes me feel like cryin. I had no idea others were similarly moved. The internet is amazing. (A blessing AND a curse). Oh,well. Peace to all.
I remember when I was a little kid, back in the early 80's, that I put this album on my record player, and this song really stood out to me. Nearly 30 years later, it still sounds good, and the lyrics mean even more to me!!
'' I walk, & walk & walk like a zombie in the night... what love can do....Kool n' the Gang at their finest !!!!! '' The song may run short, but the message runs deeper !!!!!!
