Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

Strange
How the world got so small
I turned around and there was nowhere left to go
So sad

The dream always dies
Each new arrival closes places in my mind
But I can dream
Until I go

Of smells that I don't recognize
And by the river
In Shanghai
The color of the sky

Is something I've never seen
After the summer rain
Children smile
Curious and kind
And the world is big again
