Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

The Australian new romantic band Real Life formed in the early '80s with a new wave-influenced sound similar to Duran Duran. Comprising vocalist/guitarist David Sterry, drummer Danny Simcic, bassist Allan Johnson and keyboard player Richard Zatorski, the group gained a hit in Australia during 1983 with "Send Me an Angel," from their debut album Heartland. The single became an international success by the end of the year, and settled at number 29 on the American charts. Real Life returned to the Top 40 early in 1984 with "Catch Me I'm Falling," but lost its Australian contract two years later after second album Flame was a commercial and critical disappointment. The group remained on Curb/MCA in America though, and had their biggest hit in 1989 when a remix of "Send Me an Angel" reached number 26. With the addition of new keyboard player Steve Williams, Real Life recorded Lifetime, but it too failed, and the band found themselves with no contract at all. After a five-year hiatus, the group returned in 1996 with a self-released EP titled Like a Ghost.

"FACE TO FACE" (Extended Mix)
Performed by Real Life
Written by D. Sterry and R. Zatorski

Face to face so far apart
Looking for the words but they just won't start.
How can I say that I feel the same? Don't tell me:

One, two, three, this is how it starts.
Listen for the sound of the breaking hearts.
I stand in the rain until I hear you say: come back again!

Face to face we talk
like children we walk away

Like lovers we start again - face to face.
Face to face we talk
like children we walk away

Like lovers we start again - face to face.

Some way, some how I believe
We could make it happen but it's turning me
Around and around and around again. Don't tell me:
One. two, three, this is how it start's. . . .
Face to face we talk
like children we walk away
. . .
Face to face we talk
like children we walk away
. . .
Children - face to face - and children - face to face -
And children - and children - face to face.
