3 (+1) kedvenc a bare albumról

annie lennox is the real madonna. ez a nagy igazság. fuckin queen of pop. ráadásul SKÓT. nyilván.
so anyway.
annie 2003-as stúdióalbuma, a bare még talán (a nagy idő eltelte ellenére) pont illeszkedik a diva (92 - why, walking on broken glass, precious, primitive, legend in my living room - az összes dal gyakorlatilag ep-erős) és medusa (95, feldolgozásalbum - no more i love you's, whiter shade of pale, take me to the river) sorozatba, és bár az első kettő zseniális és alapvető, ez is egy nagyon jó album.

tehát.

1. mert olyan dolgokat mond el, amit én nem tudok még csak megfogalmazni sem

honestly

The beauty that you gave Has turned upon itself
And all the things you said Evaporated, evaporated...
Was I blind, deaf and dumb
To the words slipped from your tongue?

Honestly
Alone in my bed
The things that you said
Go round in my head - still
It seems to be true
That nothin' I do
Can influence you

I tried and tried again
(Don't you know I tried and tried again to make you listen to me
But everything I said it always seemed to go right through you)
To make you notice me
(I turned myself into a person that I didn't like
But please believe me when I say I know it wasn't right)
But talking to myself
(I never thought that things would get to be so complicated
I never thought that you and me would end up so frustrated)
Won't catch your attention I see ...
(You'd think that something had to come from all those good intentions
But in the end I needed something more than intervention)

Was I mad?
Foolish me
To succumb so easily

Fools like me get so easily taken
And fools like me can be so mistaken

The promise that you gave
(Don't you know the promise that you gave just turned it's back upon me
I stopped believing but you couldn't take the whole thing from me)
Has turned it's back
(I never thought I'd have to pay the price to set you free)
And all you represented
Was just my projection you see...
(You know I never thought I'd ever live a day without you
And that's the reason why it makes me sad to think about you
and you know I never thought I'd make it if you wasn't there
And now I'm tryin' to eject myself from this despair)

People come
People go
Never say I "told you so"

2. mert megnyugtatóan fáj

the hurting time

To everything there is a purpose
To every blade of grass
And every leaf on every tree
Every living thing will surely
Come to pass
And what will be will be
That's when the hurting time begins

And all the things you never said
Or didn't have the strengh to say
And everything you ever did
That time won't ever wash away
Fears that you've been living with
Come running down your face
Running down your face
When the hurting time begins

So tell me what the day brings
Has it lost it's thrill?
Are you still searching
Hoping for that
Space to fill
Everything you turn to
Is like a mirror on the shelf
And the only one you're blaming
is yourself

A million little deaths you've died
The times that you've been crucified
The more you've loved and lost and tried
And still could not be satisfied
When will you be satisfied?
When will you be satisfied?
Not till the hurting time begins

3. mert erős és erőt is tud adni

erased

I'm gonna put it all behind me like
nothing ever happened between us.
Nothing ever took place between you and me
Yeah, nothing ever happened.
And if you see me walking down the street
I won't even recognize you
I'll just erase you from my memory
Put it all behind me
becaue you are erased
Oh, erased

You'll be sitting on someone else's couch
You'll be eating off a stranger's plate
Everything is gonna get wiped out
Like a new start, like a brand-new, fresh clean slate, yeah.
Well here I go remembering again
all the anger and the blame
People in glass houses shouldn't throw those stones,
but something just flew through my windowpane

My my my my (oh mama, did it touch you well?)

I'll be in a brand-new pair of running shoes
and you'll be walking on down different street
in a brand new suit and a fresh clean shirt
making telephone calls
keeping in time with someone else's feet
Keeping in time with someone else's feet

+1 mert kell egy gyorsabb is :) áh nem, mert egy nagyon szépen szól arról, hogy milyen hülyeség beleszeretni valakibe, aki soha nem viszonozza, de mégis csodálatosan érzi magát az ember, hiszen szerelmes, és mégis reménykedik, és akkkor jön az a fanki kis refrén-rész, amit imádok ;)

wonderful

I wanna have you 'Cause you're all I've got
Don't wanna lose you 'Cause it means a lot
All the joy this world can bring
Doesn't give me anything
When you're not here

Idiot me
Stupid fool
How could you be
So uncool?
To fall in love with someone who
Doesn't really care for you
It's so obscure...

But I feel wonderful
Yes I feel wonderful

God, it makes me be so blue
Everytime I think about you
All of the heat of my desire
Smokin' like some crazy fire
Come on here, Look at me Where I stand
Can't you see my heart burnin' In my hands?
Do you want me? Do you not?
Does it feel cold baby, does it feel hot?

I wanna hold you
And be so held back
Don't wanna need you
But it's where I'm at
Thinking 'bout you every day
How come I was made that way?
It's so surreal...

But I feel wonderful
Yes I feel wonderful


aki idáig elolvasta és meghallgatta, kap egy sört. lol.

IMÁDLAK ANNIE! (bárcsak, óh bárcsak láthatnálak egyszer élőben...)
