rdf:langString "Terminal" is a song by British-American singer-songwriter Rupert Holmes, released as a single in 1974. The song is included on his 1974 debut album, Widescreen on Epic Records. The orchestrations on the recording were written and conducted by Holmes. The album was produced by Jeffrey Lesser. "Terminal" was backed with "Bagdad", a track also from Widescreen. Some promotional copies were issued in a special sleeve (not actually a picture sleeve, but rather an art sleeve) describing the song. In 1975, after Holmes' self-titled second Epic album was released, Epic again issued "Terminal" as an A-side (Epic 50161), backed with "Deco Lady" from his second album. Neither single release charted. "Terminal" is a popular song in the Philippines, and has subsequently been covered by Filipino singers Julius Obregon on the 1974 album A Friend to You, Sharon Cuneta on the 2006 album Isn't It Romantic?, and Piolo Pascual on the 2009 album Decades. In Cuneta's version, its lyrics are delivered from a female point of view; the line "I had to get home to the kids and the wife" was changed to "I had to get back to the kids and my life".
