MayPopular, not just POP: Waiting for a girl like you
October 4th 2008 00:33
If someone said to me that this is the one song guranteed to win any woman's heart, I'd say that they were pretty damn close with that estimate.
Foreigner released "Waiting for a girl like you" from their 1981 album 4. It was one of their most successful singles off an equally successful album. Though they were technically a rock band, this song fits the bill as being a popular song.
They never filmed a music video for the song, only releasing this live performance as their official video. Lou Gramm and the band sound great live, but I have to admit, I was a little annoyed that I don't get to hear the distinctive synthesizer on the track played by Thomas Dolby until 1:38 into the song.
They just don't make 'em like that anymore. An excellent song that has the right mix of romantic lyrics, great singing, out of this world synthesizer and you know what?.....an excellent bridge! Why don't songs nowadays have a bridge??
Anyway....back to the song.
Listen, and swoon.
