Del Amitri - Not Where It's At (with Lyrics)

[1familyjules]

I don't want him cause he's not where it's at. He has an odd way of running a Facebook page.

[CroxleyEducator]

One of the most perfect power-pop singles ever made.

always will love this band

i've been looking for this song for 13 years or so... i'd hear bits & pieces from mall of america to home depot to wall mart to food lion. "some girls" was the words i could pick out and of course... that made the search all that more difficult. finally, the other night at food lion i heard it and positioned myself under a speaker and could make out the rest of the lyrics... couldn't be happier!!!

@kkamins you should have asked me 13 years ago and I could've told you! Ha ha glad you've finally found it! Enjoy...

[kkamins]

@exquemeling thanks. it was maddening. never heard the song on the radio... i'd hear it once every 2 years or so (alway some bizarre retail places) and usually only the tail end of song. ocassionaly, i'd get on the web and run thru lates lyrics search engine for "some girls" entries and all that came up was of course "the stones".

have since downloaded all del's via bittorrent... and having a great time getting re-aquainted with del's and justin currie.

thanks again!

@kkamins Did you manage to get all of the songs from the B-sides of all their singles?

[kkamins]

@exquemeling not sure.... it's some greatest hits complitation.

there is a whole del's catalogue (still downloading) out there but the seeding is tough to come by.... it's very slow.

btw: i'm still wearing out this link! thanks again.

@kkamins glad you found it great song and record

@kkamins I LOVE this song (Del Amitri)!! Love the opening guitar work! Great chord progression, great melody.

A song along somewhat similar lines (actually very much sounding like something Adam Schlesinger would write) is "My Heart Belongs to You" by Marmalade Souls, watch?v=x9SFl4jb_bE -- check it out if you'd like.

Thumbs up if you've heard this A LOT more on PAs (McDs, WalMart, etc) than on the radio.

That aside, it's still a good song.
