Someone Like You: uma cover muito especial



Há boas surpresas na música. Um dia destes ainda vamos ouvir falar desta miúda.

Mesmo quando estas letras nos fazem lembrar...

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you

Old friend
Why are you so shy
It ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead

You'd know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summery haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes they're memories made
Who would have known how bitter-sweet this would taste

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead

Para todo o fim, um recomeço



"É loucura odiar todas as rosas porque uma te espetou. Entregar todos os teus sonhos porque um deles não se realizou, perder a fé em todas as orações porque uma não foi atendida, desistir de todos os esforços porque um deles fracassou. É loucura condenar todas as amizades porque uma te traiu, descrer de todo amor porque um deles te foi infiel. É loucura deitar fora todas as chances de ser feliz porque uma tentativa não resultou. Espero que na tua caminhada não cometas estas loucuras. Lembrando que sempre há uma outra chance, uma outra amizade, um outro amor, uma nova força. Para todo fim, um recomeço."

in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - O Pequeno Príncipe

"The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief,
He robs himself that spends a bootless grief."

"Uma coisa é o amor, outra é a relação. Não sei se, quando duas pessoas estão na cama, não estarão de facto, quatro: as duas que estão mais as duas que um e outro imaginam."

Natural Woman

Porque há dias em que apetece sentir que alguém nos ama até nos sentirmos assim...





Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind

You make me feel,
you make me feel,
you make me feel like
A natural woman, yeah

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm looking for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more

Cause you make me feel,
you make me feel,
you make me feel like
A natural woman

Oh, baby, look you've done to me makes me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me fell so alive

Cause you make me feel,
you make me feel,
you make me feel like
A natural woman
