Music Question

[Wagamama]

I have a question for all you music lovers out there on the Dis...does anyone remember a song that came out around 98-2001. It was about a couple who packed up and went on vacation and their kids woke up and realized they weren't there. Something about an island and a road. Thanks!!

You're probably thinking of The Way by Fastball. Lemme grab some lyrics BRB

Here goes...

The Way - Fastball
They made up their minds and they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

They drank up the wine and they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down they started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

CHORUS:
Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home but they don't really care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today , today

The children woke up and they couldn't find 'em
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

CHORUS

Jeff,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've been going insane trying to remember the name. By the way, is the server really slow tonight or is it my computer?

[supercarrie]

I love that song! :)

And the server is running fine for me, except all day when I hit send it takes forever to load the page with the reply on it. I have to hit the back button and refresh it to see that my reply went through.

I love that song! I haven't heard it in forever. I actually liked that group. I wonder if they are still around.

[Jeff in BigD]

They're latest album came out in 2000. I don't know if they're still together.

I remember that song... Pretty good song, but really haven't heard much from them since... Then again, hardly listen to the radio now.

[SPAGo 98]

for some reason i thought that song was about a couple who drove off a cliff...

[Jeff in BigD]

Yeah, I've heard variations of the meaning, but basically the couple has passed on.
