In 1990 American vocalist Oleta Adams recorded the song which became a major international hit, reaching the Top 5 in the UK〔(Song record, Chartstats.com )〕 and the US.〔(Peak Position noted, Billboard.com )〕 Adams' version of "Get Here", co-produced by Roland Orzabal from the band Tears for Fears, became her signature song. ==Composition and first release== Brenda Russell had written the song while staying at a penthouse in ) it’s extraordinary if a song is still in my head that I haven’t jotted down or recorded. So if it’s still in my head overnight, I think that’s something extra special, it’s like somebody trying to tell me something."〔 Brenda Russell had written the song while staying at a penthouse in Stockholm: the tune came to her as she viewed some hot air balloons floating over the city, a sight Russell recalls set her "really tripping on how many ways you can get to a person" (the eventual song's lyrics include the line: "You can make it in a big balloon but you'd better make it soon"). Although Russell did not pursue the musical ideas that came to her as her current record label saw her as a dance artist and she thought would not be interested in a song such as the one which became "Get Here", the song was still in the singer's mind when she woke up the next day: "I don’t read or write music () it’s extraordinary if a song is still in my head that I haven’t jotted down or recorded. So if it’s still in my head overnight, I think that’s something extra special, it’s like somebody trying to tell me something."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Songfacts )〕 Russell recorded the song as the title cut of her 1988 album from which it was issued as a single - the album's third - reaching #37 on the ''Billboard'' R&B charts.〔("Get Here" album, Allmusic.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Get Here」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
