Michael Jackson - Sunset Driver (Demo)

Written by Michael, and originally scheduled to appear on the expanded, special edition reissue of Off The Wall in 2001, but withdrawn.

This demo version was recorded in 1982.

Sunset Driver - Lyrics

Written & Composed by Michael Jackson

All alone
She's in the ego zone
The word is out that you're doin' wrong
On the move
Got fire in your shoes
By word of mouth you are on the news
You're livin' in sunset times (Livin' in sunset times)

Feelin' bad
You're livin' much too fast
The truth, the truth that you're on the pass
In the raw
They don't know what you saw
By word of mouth you're breakin' every law

Sunset driver
Midnight rider
Friday's brighter
Morning rider
You're a Saturday-nighter, aow!

On the go
Got fever in your soul
You better not shout where you gonna go
Livin' hot
Doin' what you should not
The break's on me, then what do you got
You're livin' on sunset times (Livin' on sunset times)
Want that dime

Shoot the breeze
You feel that she's a tease
Your night is free, what you wanna be
Who's to trust
When livin' dangerous
Tonight's your night, but this is what you loose

Sunset driver
Midnight rider
Friday's brighter
Gettin' higher
You're a Saturday-nighter, aow!

You are there when the night's in town
Standin' there with the top of the round
They don't care about the things you wished you saw
You're like the cinema
You think that nothin's wrong

Doin' town
You do it every time
The word's got out that you're on the line
On the move
Got fever in your shoes
The night's on you, what are you gonna do?

Sunset driver
Midnight rider
Friday's brighter
Just to reach that driver
The Saturday-nighter, aow!

Esta canción debió salir a la luz mucho antes, definitivamente tiene todos los elementos característicos de aquella etapa de Michael Jackson. Composición alegre con continuos cambios de ritmo que nos envuelve desde el comienzo.

I actually like this song. It has a nice feeling to it, and if it had something extra, it definitely would have been a solid song. Has that nice Michael flavor to it.

Sympa, Michael est plein d'énergie mais rien de vraiment original... Michael et Quincy ont bien fait de la garder comme petit cadeau post album pour les fans... C'est toujours cool de découvrir ce genre de morçeau des années plus tard, ça donne une idée plus large de l'esprit de l'album pendant sa création...
