Eight Seconds
Eight Seconds was a synthpop/progressive rock band formed in 1982 in Ottawa, Canada. They are best known for their 1987 top-20 single "Kiss You (When It's Dangerous)" from the full-length album Almacantar. The band's lineup included Andrés del Castillo (vocals/guitar), March Cesare (bass), Frank Levin (keyboards), Scott Milks (drums), and Marc Parent (guitar).
Profile
Originally, Eight Seconds was a cover band playing local bars in Ottawa, but one of their first originals, "Where's Bula?", won the CHEZ 106's Sharechez '83 homegrown contest. The winning prize was the production of a video for the song, which received airplay on MuchMusic and MTV's Basement Tapes show. "Where's Bula?" also won the 1984 Canadian Film and Television Association's Best Music Video of the Year.
In 1985, the band competed in CBC Television's battle of the bands competition series Rock Wars. In late 1985, the five-song EP Ottava Rima was released and charted in Ottawa both on CHEZ 106 FM and CFRA AM.

Eight Seconds
by: Aja DaashuurEvery day I wake up to pictures of your face
Youre more than an obsession, youre an acquired taste
Eight seconds of your smile
Eight seconds of your face
What a disgrace I walked towards you too late
(Chorus)
And youre so beautiful
Eight seconds in my life and Ive gone crazy!
And youre so beautiful
Eight seconds Ill never see you again Im crazy!
Every night I swim through crowds in a dream
To hear you speak
I beat myself up for not moving on through,
My will was too weak
Eight seconds of a glance
Eight seconds of a chance
If Id given a damn I wouldnt be turning in my sleep
(Chorus)
And youre so beautiful
Eight seconds in my life and Ive gone crazy!
And youre so beautiful
Eight seconds Ill never see you again Im crazy!
In those seconds you shouldve grabbed my hand-
Why didnt you?
In those seconds you shouldve talked to me-
You wanted to!
Now its over, and I cant forget
Didnt know it was a race
No one said, Get set!
Every day I wake up to pictures of your face
Youre more than an obsession, youre an acquired taste
Eight seconds of your smile
Eight seconds of your face
What a disgrace I walked towards you too late
(Chorus)
And youre so beautiful
Eight seconds in my life and Ive gone crazy!
And youre so beautiful
