When I awoke today
Suddenly nothing happened

— Colin Hay, Waiting for my Real Life to Begin

I sought out this song after hearing it on an episode of Scrubs (excellent use of music on this show).

In the show, it was sung by a woman, and I still want a cover of this song by a woman: It just worked better for me than Hay’s (a guy’s) version.

But an excellent song, outstanding Scrubs episode and some poignant lyrics.
