rfmcdonaldLately, I've been thinking of Bif Naked's Top 40 radio hit "Spaceman".
The song was remixed into a #2 dance hit that may be more familiar to listeners.
I've mentioned Bif Naked only in passing, once in 2003 when I bought in Moncton her Essentially Naked greatest hits album en route to grad school, once in 2004 when I mentioned seeing a photo taken of her by Bryan Adams at the Royal Ontario Museum. This is despite the importance of the song and the artist to me, at least a decade ago. "Spaceman" in either of its incarnations is a song all about escape. There is little reason to wonder why, in the late 1990s, trapped at home and in my head, this mattered so to me.

I see your face on television,
Almost every day.
In magazines and on the big screen,
Close yet far away.
I wonder why you chose those others
An you never come to call on me
When I'm the one who's waiting for you,
I really need you, please pick me!
