Wow, talk about 80's hairdo's! There's some doozy's in this video. I like sexy songs, and even though this is just a little pop song, I think it is a sexy song. Pop music is what it is...not too stellar, but memorable and catchy. There is good pop and then there is trite drivel, and I think the thing about the 80's was that there were actually some GOOD pop songs written back then. I think this is one of them.
Heavy on the keyboards!! Another very 80's trait. I used to like to listen to this song when I was in the car, and dance to it at high school dances.
Interesting update from Wikipedia on the band members: Original frontman Bill Wadhams worked as a graphic designer at NBC, BBD&O, Wieden & Kennedy. He's kept a hand in music composition and production, and currently manages Animotion. Wadhams, a Portland, Oregon resident, has three sons, and one daughter.
Original frontwoman Astrid Plane married bassist Charles Ottavio shortly after they both left Animotion in the latter half of the 1980s. They are currently living on the West Coast, raising their daughter Victoria. When not playing with Animotion, Astrid is still involved in the music business, having recently[when?] released her album, If I Was Magic. She also gives voice lessons at The Voice Shop in Fresno. According to Animotion's MySpace page, original lead guitarist Don Kirkpatrick also currently tours with Rod Stewart.
Full-time Animotion drummer since 2002, Kevin Rankin (drummer) has been a member in a series of other successful bands, including guitar phenom Jennifer Batten and Columbia Recording artists Craving Theo. Rankin also owns a successful Web design agency, Silver Lining Media, LLC [4] based in Portland, Oregon, has been married to his junior high school sweetheart Jennifer Seeley Rankin since 1992, and has two sons, Kaleb and Nolan.
Original keyboardist Paul Antonelli, who left the band sometime in the mid-1980s, began composing and directing music for various TV series programs. Immediately after leaving Animotion, Antonelli had played in the band Radio Werewolf. While he does not currently participate in Animotion reunion tours, he has attended some of the band's recent performances. Antonelli currently composes the music for As The World Turns, a daytime drama on CBS.

Lyrics:
You are an obsession
I cannot sleep
I am your possession
Unopened at your feet
There's no balance
No equality
Be still I will not accept defeat
I will have you
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterly
I will collect you and capture you
[Chorus:]
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
I feed you I drink you
My day and my night
I need you I need you
By sun or candlelight
You protest
You want to leave
Stay
Oh, there's no alternative
Your face appears again
I see the beauty there
But I see danger
Stranger beware
A circumstance
In your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems
[Chorus]
My fantasy has turned to madness
And all my goodness
Has turned to badness
My need to possess you
Has consumed my soul
My life is trembling
I have no control
I will have you
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterly
I will collect you and capture you
[Chorus]
