Hello to everyone in the Music community! Today I bring you a new cover to enjoy. It's the single by the magnificent Annie Lennox, titled 'Why'. One of her biggest hits and one that takes us back to Annie's spectacular first solo album, the album, Diva. Annie Lennox is one of my favorite artists of all time and I had to get this song out as I could, since I have been trying to get this song out for a long time but due to several factors I had not been able to do it. Today, finally, here I have it in my possession and that makes me very happy.
I'll tell you a little about this song and for those who don't know, Annie Lennox belonged to the group Eurythmics along with David Stewart, who was also her partner. Together they lived a romantic relationship full of many ups and downs and great instability, so they ended up separating and it is in 1992 that Annie ends up releasing her debut album, Diva. Same where you can find her single, 'Why'. Apparently the outcome of this relationship served as inspiration for the artist to write the lyrics of the song. In addition to other events such as becoming a mother and the death of her father. At this point the singer seemed to question the why of all these events.
¡Hola a todos en la comunidad de Music! El día de hoy les traigo un nuevo cover para disfrutar. Se trata del sencillo de la magnífica, Annie Lennox, titulado cómo 'Why'. Una de sus exitos más grandes y que nos transporta a ese espectacular primer disco de Annie cómo solista, el disco, Diva. Annie Lennox es una de mis artistas favoritas de todos los tiempos y debía sacar este tema como diera lugar, ya que hace bastante que he intentado sacar el tema pero por varios factores no había logrado concretarlo. Hoy por fin, aquí lo tengo en mi poder y eso me hace muy feliz.
Les comento un poco acerca de esta canción y es que para quienes no lo sepan, Annie Lennox pertenecía al grupo Eurythmics junto con David Stewart, quién fue también su pareja. Juntos vivieron una relación romántica llena de muchos altibajos y de gran inestabilidad, por lo que terminaron separándose y es en el año 1992 que Annie termina sacando su álbum debut, Diva. Mismo donde se encuentra su sencillo, 'Why'. Al parecer el desenlace de este relación sirvió como inspiración para la artista para escribir la letra de la canción. Además de otros hechos como el haberse convertido en madre y la muerte de su padre. A este punto la cantante parecía interrogar el por qué de todos estos acontecimientos.
Anyway, the lyrics of the song are quite clear: a couple is going through a crisis in their relationship because they are unable to communicate assertively. It is a theme that is played with a lot of ease, where we can identify ourselves in several points where the singer expresses and opens her heart in front of the dilemmas that torment her. Coexistence, differences, indifference, loneliness, frustration and rupture. All this is addressed in a poetic way that becomes even more beautiful with the accompaniment of that spectacular music video where we see Annie backstage preparing for her big show. In a state that vacillates between empowerment and fragility.
With this, dear friends, I have tried to base my interpretation as it is a really meaningful song to me and I hope to convey that feeling to you. I also wanted to use the aesthetics that the actress has in her music video, for which I prepared a makeup and hairstyle similar to hers. You can check it out on my blog where I show you little by little how to do it. Without further ado, thanks for stopping by and a big hug. Enjoy the song.
De cualquier forma, la letra de la canción es bastante clara: una pareja atraviesa una crisis en su relación al no poder comunicarse asertivamente. Un tema que se toca con mucha soltura, dónde podemos identificarnos en varios puntos dónde la cantante nos expresa y abre su corazón frente a los dilemas que la atormentan. La convivencia, las diferencias, la indiferencia, la soledad, la frustración y la ruptura. Todo esto se aborda de una forma poética que se vuelve aún más hermoso con el acompañamiento de ese espectacular video musical dónde vemos a Annie tras bastidores preparándose para su gran show. En un estado que vacila entre el empoderamiento y la fragilidad.
Con esto, queridos amigos, he intentado basar mi interpretación ya que es una canción realmente significativa para mí y espero lograr transmitir a ustedes ese sentir. También quise utilizar la estética que tiene la actriz en su video musical, para el cual prepare un maquillaje y peinado similar al de ella. Pueden ir a verlo en mi blog donde enseño poco a poco como realizarlo. Sin más que decir gracias por pasar y un fuerte abrazo. Disfruten la canción.
Lyrics/Letra
Why
Why
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me
Why
Why
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me
Why
Tell me
Why
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel
