Someday, someway
Someday, someway
Someday, someway Maybe I'll understand you

I can't stand to see you sad I can't bear to hear you cry If you can't tell me what you need All I can do is wonder why
After all you've done for me All I really want to do Is take the love you brought my way And give it all right back to you!

heard on radio in mailroom .. not pgmrkd anyth re this before? 2-3 years ago also heard on radio, and remembered song as if being performed, with gestures, maybe on a tv show: Fame.
but no, no dlcs pgmrk. no dlww.
rg: I think you'll find it. you're not usually wrong about what you've marked. (hmm)

and later, I think of: google's personal search history. I played with it a bit, recorded a few searches, before turning it off ('pausing' it), was this a search I noted there? yes! satisfying:

season 5 episode 'Self-defense' song 'Someday Someway' performed by Nicole, Reggie, Dusty, Kate.

yes, just as I thought I remembered! got as a result page showing songs from Fame, showed that "Someday Someway" was sung in a season 5 epis of Fame. which pretty well affirmed but left some room for doubt about what I was recalling, was it this song? was I remembering this performance of it?

now, two and half years later, search first hit = youtube video (was youtube around in November 2005? wkp: founded in February 2005), leaves no room for doubt, there it is, wow:

YouTube - FAME (SOME DAY,SOME WAY)

I love it I love it - Nicole - these are the gestures I know: maybe I'll understand you! hands at side in shrug (maybe) hands crossed on shoulders hugging self (I'll) point to head with both hands (understand) straighten arms pointing out (you!) and a kick while body moves back.
Episode Title: Self-Defense. The girls learn karate when a secret admirer starts sending Nicole roses. oh yeah roses .. familiar ... Nicole. and Dusty who I remember singing in a dream sequence wearing sequined gown. and Reggie is the lanky girl w short blond hair familiar, doing most of the solo singing here. & so Kate is the not so familiar red-haired girl.


Nicole I thought was so pretty. wanted to be like her, to go to the school of the performing arts.

"I remember so much..."

Fame - Straight to the Heart*
wake up in the morning, face another day. got to get the walls up that'll keep me safe . but if I stop and close my eyes, I see you in my mind, then I hear you speak my name, it happens every time - - you're always going - straight to the heart - you got a way of getting through.
jesse watching in the wings. I remember that they talk after she stops singing and he says sometimes you either move forward or you stop. and they break up. and Jesse talks to a teacher or someone in this episode about how Nicole isn't as 'fun' as other girls..

FAME (SLAVE TO LOVE)*
Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place - with the tired & weary, there's no escape - To lead a woman you've got to know - how the strong get weak - and the rich get poor I've been singing this for years, with this dance in my mind, as if has only ever happened there
Nia Peeples (Nicole) Episode Title: The Incident. When a new drama teacher's praise of Nicole arouses Jesse's jealousy, Jesse hits his head and falls unconscious under a series of questionable circumstances

Fame - Is Somebody Out There
wow. I remember this ~themed (sherlock? costumes ~) episode. Nicole singing moving thr hallways.
Where do you go in the dead of the night - better have a weapon when a killer comes in sight - in the night air - is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there who's waiting for me, is there anybody out there? I've got to see! what am I ... what did I say, is there anybody out there to take me away? what am I hungry for, can it be true, is there anybody out there, someone like you -

FAME (COME WHAT MAY) she believes and that faith is something I've never known
Double Exposure. Story: Jesse is caught stealing a copy of his Biology exam. Jesse needs to pass the Biology exam so he can play the lead in a production of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".

FAME (CUTS LIKE A KNIFE)
Story: Jesse's old gang connections try to pull him back to the street when an old rival is parolled. Nicole keeps "seeing" visions of bad things happening to Jesse and she doesn't know how to help him. I remember. song 'Savage Streets' also this epis.

wkp: Fame (tv show, 1982- )
Season 5: 1985-1986. so I was 8 years old.
yes, watching in the basement, green rug, a tv, an atari. matress and trapeze on other side of the basement.
and there were only 6 seasons total? and Nicole died! I d n recall that. on youtube theres a clip of the 'tribute to Nicole' and elsewhere says she & Danny were in car accident. jesse was no longer her boyfriend but reacted ~angry at danny. the last I remember Nicole was working and had left school and came to a show but missed it and sat in the empty auditorium and jesse came out and sat with her.


those youtube clips above, there is just one more in my mind, Jesse at radio station singing "You don't know me" - to suicidal girl who called in and who was sad after seeing Jesse's girlfriend Nicole "she's very pretty." really wasn't the portrayal of Nicole & Jesse's relationship full of subtleties? in my experience of it it was.
yes, here:
FAME (YOU DON'T KNOW ME)*
Jesse Borrego (Jesse) in FAME Episode Title: W.S.O.A. Story: Jesse,while being a DJ for the school's radio station,gets a call from a girl who keeps asking him to play the same song over and over again. He eventually learns that the girl is planning to kill herself.
you put your whole hand in mine, and then you say goodbye. I let you walk away beside a knockout guy. to never never know - the one who loves you so - you don't know me.
