RUMER LIVE - Do You Know the Way to San Jose

Rumer Live from Hilversum/Holland, with the Metropole Orchestra. January, 15, 2011.
Song written for Dionne Warwick by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics).
------------
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way.
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.

L.A. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years. How quck they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

You can really breathe in San Jose
They've got a lot of space. There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.

Fame and fortune is a magnet.
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone.
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away

I've got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can't wait to get back to San Jose.

Great rendition of this classic. I finally heard a song that Rumer has done that isn't ultra pianissimo. YAY, RUMER!

I love her style of music,it brings me back to the 70th and the best parts of my life growing up with mom,great reminiscing music!

[MG180Man]

I like Rumer a lot but this makes me want to wind up the speed a little. It doesn't have the energy of either Dionne Warwick or the Carpenters. Having said that, however, I still like it.

awesome voice awesome song!!!

[voodoopaint]

I would spend some serious cash if I could get my hands on an album filled with Rumer singing Burt Bacharach songs. Great music.
