And now we know that Pointillism is So Far Away

I know, it’s crazy.

i was expecting Pointillism to be something totally different,  so that connected to the BMI entry

MAYBE Pointillism was featured in a NBA promo?

 

which songs could be on the BMI entry?

Rhinestone? (since it was featured on The Crow OST)

Pointillism? (since it was created for a soundtrack)

 

what other options it could be? Pictureboard? Esaul? Slip?

Who knows, lol. The only way we’ll find out what the NBA Inside Stuff track is is if we manage to get our hands on the episodes of the series from 1997/98/99.

wow, so that confirms that there is a version with Mark's vocals, I really want to see Carousel and Step Up from that demo 😁

I honestly think that “Pointillism” is “So Far Away” but just Mike doing all the vocals, since it was something Mike came up with for a soundtrack, though, I could be end up being wrong.

I think it's a case of "Mike was creating it for a soundtrack" but it got repurposed for the band. Maybe the soundtrack deal didn't work out. The song could have been intended to be an instrumental on the soundtrack and the vocals came later, around the time Jeff Blue first heard it.

 

What's interesting is that So Far Away is listed as Knight Rider on all demo CDs we've seen. Jeff Blue called it "Knight Rider Theme".

 

There was actually a Knight Rider series that started in 1997 and ended in 1998 called Team Knight Rider, but nothing came out from the franchise for quite some time after that and Hurry samples a song released in 1998, so it couldn't be for that. Could have been from a canceled Knight Rider project or it could be just a case of the band naming it like that because they thought the song sounded similar to the Knight Rider theme.

This is the theme, correct?: 

 

 

I can kinda hear a little bit of the inspiration for it in this song.
