Story behind the song
The lyrics to this song were written many years ago when I was a sales rep for a video distributor in South Africa. I spent many hours in my car travelling the whole of Kwa Zulu Natal and had a long distance lover who was doing the same job. At that time, nobody had cell phones and so the only way to connect at such a distance was through the radio... even now, in 2007, it's pretty cool to connect with someone knowing that they're listening to the same radio station.
Lyrics
Verse 1: Long distance lover, turn on your radio
I can hear you laughing
Laughing at the same jokes
Oh, long distance lover, turn on your radio
I can see your smilin' face
A thousand miles away
Chorus: Connected by the sound waves
Drawn by the power
The power within...
The radio
Verse 2: Travelling the same path on different roads,
Tuned in, our worlds collide
Connected through the radio
Oh, long distance lover, turn on your radio
I can see that look on your face
A thousand miles away
Chorus
Verse 3: Just heard the news broadcasted on the air
Responding to the same words
Feelings that we share
Oh, long distance lover, turn on your radio
I can see your saddened face
A thousand miles away
Chorus
Verse 4: Oh I wanted to speak to you; couldn't find a phone
So I turned on my radio
So far away from home
Oh, long distance lover, turn on your radio
I wanna have you here in my space
A thousand miles away
Chorus
