James Blunt - Goodbye my lover
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won
So I took what's mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over but it won't stop there
I am here for you if you'd only care
You touched my heart you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you
I've kissed your lips and held your head
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you weed, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you
kertosäe:
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me
I am a dreamer but when I wake
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile
I've watched you sleeping for a while
I'd be the father of your child
I'd spend a lifetime with you
I know your fears and you know mine
We've had our doubts but now we're fine
And I love you, I swear that's true
I cannot live without you
kertosäe
And I still hold your hand in mine
In mine when I'm asleep
And I will bear my soul in time
When I'm kneeling at your feet
kertosäe
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
Tässä kappaleessa on mielestäni ehkäpä parhaimmat sanat, joita olen ikinä kuullut. Tämä kappale on se, joka saa itkemään, se jota kuunnellaan kun poikaystävä on jättänyt. Tämä on mielestäni se kappale, joka kuvaa todella hyvin Stephenie Meyerin kirjaa Eclipse. Tämä kappale on se, joka saa minut haluamaan enemmän. Haluamaan enemmän elämältä. Tätä kappaletta ei voi sivuttaa. Minua tämä kappale koskettaa syvästi, ja saa melkein kyyneleet silmiin. James Blunt osaa tehdä lauluja rakkaudesta. Ja tämä on yksi parhaista raukkauslauluista ikinä.
James Blunt - Goodbye my lover
Tracy Chapman - Fast car
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
Toinen laulu, joka kosketti minua syvästi on tämä. Se on aluksi niin täynnä toivoa. Toteuttamattomia unelmia. Nuorta rakkautta. Se lupaa kaiken menevän parhain päin. Kaikki kääntyy hyväksi. Silti, heille käy niinkuin varmasti monelle muulle. Unelmat särkyvät. Elämästä ei tullutkaan parempaa. Minusta tämä on laulu unelmille. Unelmille ja rakkaudelle. Vaikka laulu on surullinen, se saa uskomaan. Minä pystyn parempaan.
