Rina Sawayama - Where U Are (Official Video)

Okay so I've listened to like 4 of her songs and they all sound so different from each other.

[@ericalee0610]

As i read her interview about this song i was shocked that this originally sang by Michael Jackson which the song known as I Wanna Be Where You Are back in 1972 that's one fact.And I was amused by the message she wanted to potray in this. -People toxic relationship with social media. "We live in a culture of self-surveillance that makes us forget who we really are, and what we really should be doing with our time. We want to be where they are, where future-you will be, where past-you was, but not pay attention to where you are now." That's a deep message as many youngsters nowadays are so connected to the virtual life rather than their real life.

[@miyutakahada5691]

Thank you for this comment! I didn't know that it was originally sang by Michael Jackson. I love Rina's version, but it's always good to know background information :D

[@clementanthony3014]

Miyu Takahada yeah a bit of it is from the original michael jackson version but she also added quite a few of her own lyrics

[@powerpuff4ever]

I’m actually a little hut that y’all didn’t recognize that “wanna be where you are huh hooooooo” as Michael 😭 also its not actually a Michael Jackson song, its a Jackson 5 song 😭 😭 😭

[@krnvvv]

@@powerpuff4ever it's actually on Michael's first solo album! but it's not the original version, this song is much older, but his version is the most famous one I think, at least in the younger generations

It's not like you're never getting back This time let me tell you where I'm at I wanna be where you are, oh, I The only time I see you these days is in my projections I need to feel your pulse baby And I'm holding on to This unclear connection And I'm staring at a you that sees but doesn't even (Shhhhh) Listen Can it be I stayed away too long Did I leave your mind when I was gone? It's not like you're never getting back to me This time let me tell you what I need The only time I see you these days is in my projections I think I feel the love, love, love It's kind of crazy Cause I've never met you Now I'm losing sight of who I'm meant to be in this reality Can it be I stayed away too long Did I leave your mind when I was gone? It's not like ? This time let me tell you where I'm at Don't you know there's something Lately I've been hiding Second guessing my love constantly Don't you know there's one thing You always protect me Sick and tired of knowing you were never real You were never real Can it be I stayed away too long (You were never real) Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
