"I Feel So" is the first single released by Box Car Racer from their eponymous album. The single peaked at #8 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks Chart.
The music video for the song features scenes switching between the band playing in what appears to be a basement with "Box Car Racer" written in graffiti on the wall, along with the track titles of all the songs on the eponymous album, and two children (a boy and a girl) asleep in their bedrooms. The boy's possessions start to shake as the first chorus starts and the young girl's eyes water as she takes a rose off of her windowsill and its petals fall off. The video achieved some airplay on MTV, and massive success on MTV2, MuchMusic and Fuse TV. The video was directed by both singer Tom DeLonge and Nathan "Karma" Cox. The video was later released on the Box Car Racer DVD. The album version of the song is a minute longer than the version used in the music video, due to a shortened intro.
"Sometimes I" is the second single by Laura Critchley that launched her music career from her MySpace page. It was released on May 21, 2007. It was produced by Steve Power, the man behind many of Robbie Williams hits, the single did not chart, but did well on the video channels.
A re-mix of the song was released as Laura's fourth single on February 25, 2008 .

Japan (i/dʒəˈpæn/; Japanese: 日本 Nippon [nip̚põ̞ɴ] or Nihon [nihõ̞ɴ]; formally 日本国 Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, "State of Japan") is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The kanji that make up Japan's name mean "sun origin", and Japan is often called the "Land of the Rising Sun".
Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, which make up about ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan's population of 126 million is the world's tenth largest. Approximately 9.1 million people live in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, which is the sixth largest city proper in the OECD. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the world's largest metropolitan area with over 35 million residents and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy.
"Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" (or simply "Motherless Child") is a traditional Negro spiritual. It dates back to the era of slavery in the United States when it was common practice to sell children of slaves away from their parents. An early performance of the song dates back to the 1870s by the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Like many traditional songs, it has many variations and has been recorded widely.
The song is clearly an expression of pain and despair as it conveys the hopelessness of a child who has been torn from their parents. Under one interpretation, the repetitive singing of the word "sometimes" offers a measure of hope, as it suggests that at least "sometimes" I do not feel like a motherless child.
Although the plaintive words can be interpreted literally, they might alternatively be metaphoric. The “motherless child” could be a slave separated from and yearning for his or her African homeland, his or her spouse, parents, siblings or child(ren) (from all or any of which he or she may have been separated in the trafficking process) or a slave suffering “a long ways from home”—home being heaven—or most likely all.

Live in Nottingham 1981 - this was an obviously different version of the song. I don't know how often they played this version but it's certainly rare. Remaster by me, I think it sounds better compared to the source.
From the album, Obscure Alternatives, by English new wave band Japan. Written and sung by David Sylvian. Produced by Ray Singer.
Part of a video "collection" of Japan and David Sylvian that I found on Google videos.
This footage was downloaded from a VHS rip torrent and was cleaned up by me with various sharpeners, cropping, shaders etc. The official DVD has similar visual quality which leads me to believe it was taken from a VHS rip. Laserdiscs do exist and offer miles better visual quality but degrade in time - also, the footage of temples/people/streets in the VS the concert looks a lot better than the concert footage, so bad cameras could have been used? Then again, live clips from this show on the Instant Pictures VHS look a lot clearer so who knows. Im sure this is the best quality on YT so far, it looks miles better on an iPod.
Recorded at the Kyoto Kaikan Daiichi-Hall in Kyoto on 23rd February 1981

Definitely old school"
[Chorus: Kno and Deacon]
Yo, Yo
We keep the par-tay so live

We keep the par-tay so live
CunninLynguistics
We keep the par-tay so live
[Kno]
Get live, set to destroy all the fakers
Cos this ones for the B-Boys and the breakers
Take ya to another level with the sound
Freaking the flow, Deacon and Kno getting down
Take it all back to the essence
When you could go to a party and not leave with your head split
(Get This)
Cunninlynguists getting live
Respect the foundation that hip-hop vibe
[Deacon]
Now get up get up
Gunna rip up rip up
Any motherfucker if they dont shut there shit up
Puts your hands up like it's a stick up
I got ya head jerking like some hick-ups
Its Deacon the Villan
Ill'ing with my niggeroes
Rappers be soft, they probably walk on their tippy toes
What up Jays game, and roll diggy (Go)
Flows potent, even my breath smells like sticky dro*
[Chorus]
[Deacon]
Im chillin the Fresh way, I'm not the best
But more or less, the style is (finese)
For those that test, I shake em down like bumpy nuts
Smashed out their face, leave em slanted like a Gumby cut
(Ohhhhhh!)
(Hold up!)
Kentucky shogun
Who's the master
(Showed up)
Ya damm right, deep in the last dragon
Flows off the wall like they outlaw tagging
[Kno]
Understand me when I tell you this
I got the style that'll give you fits
And get you pissed that ya can't rhyme like this
Hype with the type of shit that leave ya hyper tense
(Get down!)
I know ya feel it dont be acting stiff
(Get down!)
Just go on ahead and grab a chick
(Get down!)
Do that dance a bit, when ya hear the
(Get down!)
(Thats that shit)
[Chorus]
[Deacon]
Im a gun (Ohhhhh!)
Cocked and ready
quick to leave ya head spinning like Rock Steady
Get mistaken for a B-Boy breaking your dome
Off the planet like I've been turboed out the O-Zone
A rap boy jones You better be ducking and weaving
Take your breath so quick your bound to be sucking your teeth in
When Kno's on the 1200's, cutting your bleeding
When I'm stuck in my room like it aint nothing and leaning
[Kno]
I just rip the mic and crushed Cataclysmic
Blast a sentence that will leave a rapper limping
Nowadays cats only rap about their bankroll
But ive been fresh ever since fuzzy Kangol
*Hey Yo*
Dont y'all be starting nothing
Just chill the hell out while we keep the party jumping
I know it's got ya feelin nice
