Hi hive friends, I hope you are all doing great!
Hive Openmic Week 108 is up with the theme Undisclosed Words suggested by 
Many of us did not know about the fact of this song, did you? I’m pretty sure you’re not. The lyric of this song is surprisingly not in context and it doesn’t make since. That’s not my opinion but a real fact from the song co-writer Jim Vallance.
It is a relationship song but the second verse is all about the World War I. Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance are both interested in the WWI history since Bryan’s grandpa was a British Army and a WWI veteran.
Vallance elaborated that the lyrics, "And the winners are losers, you see it every night" were inspired by those nights he played drum in nightclubs. Are you surprised? Because most of the songfacts, th whole song has only one story but this has more than two stories being covered.
Anyways I hope you’ll like it.
[Verse 1]
I been lookin' for someone
Between the fire and the flame
We're all lookin' for somethin'
To ease the pain
[Verse 2]
Now, who can you turn to
When it's all black and white
And the winners are losers
You see it every night
[Chorus]
I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody
Hey, what about you?
Everybody needs somebody
[Verse 3]
When you're out on the front line
And you're watchin' them fall
It doesn't take long to realize
It ain't worth fightin' for
[Verse 4]
I thought I saw the Madonna
When you walked in the room
Well, your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right through - oh, they cut right through
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
Another night; another lesson learned
It's the distance that keeps us sane
But when the silence leads to sorrow
We do it all again - all again
[Repeat Chorus]
[Outro]
I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody
At least somebody
I need somebody
Hey, what about you?
We all need somebody
I need somebody
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody
Everybody needs somebody
MUCH LOVE & GOD BLESS!
