PaulMaul Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Love this song, another perfect pop creation. In the middle part, where it says:"I've been tryin' every trick I know..."it sounds to me like the next line is:"..but she still wants him...." as opposed to she still "walks in," which is the way it appears both on this site and on the new 3-album collection."Wants him" seems to make more sense and also rhymes better. What's the verdict? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Carmen Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 The line is (tongue in cheek)"....but she still wants him,makes me feel so grim...."I thought it was funny, the use of the word "grim."I'm a sick human being. It was like Rick Springfield using "moot."Not your average rock 'n roll word.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMaul Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Speaking of "Someday", I love the lyric: "Someday, when I'm cool". For someone who isn't "cool", that "someday"...well, as we learn in IWTBWY..."Someday's a long time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I remember "Someday" originally as the flip side to one of the singles from the "Boats Against The Current" album. I bought the single (I don't remember which song was the hit).. just for "Someday". I loved the song after listening to it. I remember thinking it was a coup in that I got to buy a new Eric Carmen song... in between albums!James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed when "Someday" wasn't on BATC...so much so that I almost didn't buy the album (what a mistake that would've been!). "Someday" is still one of my favorite songs.

ANDREA Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 "Grim" I'm not sure about the correct translation into spanish...Would it be something like feeling a fatal illness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
