Sia: Under the Milky Way

It’s TV Thursday and I first heard this song last week on a new Lincoln commercial. It immediately caught my ear and I made a note to use it this week. Today's song is Australian Sia Furler’s cover of the 1988 song by fellow Aussies – The Church, “Under the Milky Way Tonight.”

As we moved into this week, I started hearing this song more frequently. Furler, who is primarily identified by only her first name of Sia, recorded this tune for her next album, “We Are Born.”

Lincoln MKT Commercial

The Original Version by The Church from 1988

No matter which version of this song you enjoy, you can agree with me that it is a great tune – period.

Lyrics

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight

CHORUS:
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight

CHORUS

Under the Milky way tonight..
Under the Milky Way tonight...
