Cuando la música es arte en su máxima expresión. Así se podría definir a este temazo. No es solo la interpretación, la música, la producción o la letra (que es pura poesía).Es el ALMA, el sentimiento que puedes llegar a sentir si te dejas llevar. Notar como se te pone la piel de gallina.
Terence Trent D'Arby (ahora llamado Sananda Maytreya) es una de las mejores voces que han sonado en los últimos 25 años.
Este tema lo compuso en principio para Rod Stewart, pero finalmente decidió grabarla el mismo e incluirla en su álbum de 1995 "Vibrator".
El vídeo que pongo a continuación corresponde a una actuación en vivo en Londres y es que TTD (o Sananda) es de esos artistas que demuestra su capacidad y calidad en directo; porque él si puede y si tiene talento.
La canción trata sobre descubrir a esa persona con la que se acaben tus penas, tu dolor, esa persona que se convierte en tu religión, en todo lo que tienes. Increíble el precioso puente cuando la compara con una obra de arte (de Dalí) y la frase donde se pregunta: "Porque yo entre todos los chicos? Supongo que ella oiría mi corazón a través del ruido".
Todo esto unido a su VOZ, se convierte en una verdadera masterpiece.
TERENCE TRENT D'ARBY
Holding On To You
I left the east side for a west coast beauty
A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
Her face was my favourite magazine
Her body was my favourite book to read
They say that all poets must have and unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you means letting go on pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
I left the rough side for a seaside baby
A chamomile smile that pouts on cue
For every moment I breathe her sigh
Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
In an emotional mist she breathes in fog
And breathes it out as garden flowers
Why me of all the tough talking boys?
I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of the rain
Holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you
I left the east coast for a west coast beauty
A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
Goodbye Picasso hello Dolly/Dali
The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
She's my new religion she's all I got
They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting sorrows heal
It means letting go
