Jon Carin was born in October 21, 1964, in New York City and is a producer, artist and musician, best known for his association with Pink Floyd and, more specifically, its guitarist David Gilmour and former member Roger Waters. In the early 1980s, he gained fame as the frontman for the new wave band Industry. During his time with Industry, the band had a breakthrough hit single with "State of the Nation", in 1983, being followed by the successful album Stranger to Stranger.
As a teenager, Jon Carin started his professional musical career with the band Industry as their lead singer, keyboardist and songwriter. In 1983, he was asked by Industry's producer, Rhett Davies, to work with Bryan Ferry for his Boys and Girls album. Later in 1985, he joined Bryan Ferry at Live Aid, to perform and meet Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour.
That year, Jon Carin would collaborate as a musician and writer for Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason album, as a keyboardist and programmer. He is a writer for the hit song "Learning to Fly" from that album, their first hit song since the departure of Roger Waters. He then participated in the support tour for the album and appeared on the 1988 Pink Floyd double live album, Delicate Sound of Thunder. In 1992, Carin participated for the recording of the soundtrack for La Carrera Panamericana. Two years later, in 1994, Carin played keyboards, synthesizers, arranged and programmed for Pink Floyd's The Division Bell album. He also participated on The Division Bell support tour and was featured on the Pulse CD and DVD.
Was that all it was?
A way to pass some time
momentary thing
not worth the memory
in the morning
must it be so be cold
something bought and sold
was it just a game
would you recall my name
if you saw me
How would it be; I wonder?
if we ever meet again
now that I've been your love
Is this how it's gonna end?
Will we ever be just friends?
Run to me every now and then
whow-whow-whow-whow-oh
was that all it was?
night out on the town
an excersise of will
or what you needed filled
did you use me
How would it be; I wonder?
if we ever meet again
now that I've been your love
Is this how it's gonna end?
Will we ever be just friends?
Run to me every now and then
whow-whow-whow-whow-oh
was that all it was?
when you close the door
pasion left behind
out of sight and out of mind
gone forever
was that all it was?
How would it be; I wonder?
if we ever meet again
now that I've been your love
Is this how it's gonna end?
Will we ever be just friends?
Run to me every now and then
whow-whow-whow-whow-oh
was that all it was?
when you close the door
pasion left behind
out of sight and out of mind
gone forever
was that all it was?
whow-whow-whow-whow-oh
was that all it was?
did you use me?
did you use me?
did you use me?
o-o-ooh
yeah

(wooooooho)
yeah-ah
