Addio Whitney

Cambio di programma.... La settimana sanremese avrà... Un giorno in meno... Oggi il blog ricorda Whitney Houston scomparsa ieri a soli 48 anni. E' stata trovata morta affogata nella vasca della sua stanza all'hotel Hilton di Los Angeles con accanto alcuni flaconi di pillole. Da anni ormai la cantante americana cercava di uscire dalla dipendenza di droghe e ormai i fasti di una carriera splendente tra la seconda metà degli anni ottanta e la prima degli anni novanta erano solo uno sbiadito ricordo. Purtroppo per lei non ce l'ha fatta. La canzone che ho scelto è una delle più conosciute e belle. E' del 1985 e si intitola "All at once" e alla fin fine c'entra anche con il Festival di Sanremo visto che nel 1986 la cantò sul palco dell'Ariston dal vivo (e non era sempre così scontato). Vi metto anche questo video. Addio Whitney!

All at once (Whitney Houston)

All at once 
I finally took a moment. 
And I'm realizing that. 
You're not coming back. 
And it's finally hit me all at once. 
All at onceI've started counting teardrops. 
And at least a million fell. 
My eyes began to swell. 
And all my dreams were shattered all at once. 
Ever since I met you. 
You're the only love I've known. 
And I can't forget you. 
Though I must face it all alone. 

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea. 
Wishing you'd come back to me. 
And that's all that matters now. 
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea. 
Holding on to memories. 
And it's hurt me more than you know. 
So much more than it shows. 
All at once. 

I looked around and found that you were. 
With another love. 
In someone else's arms. 
And all my dreams were shattered all at once. 
All at once the smile that used to greet me. 
Brightened someone else's day. 
She took your smile away. 
And left me with just memories all at once. 

Ever since I met you. 
You're the only love I've known. 
And I can't forget you. 
Though I must face it all alone. 

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea. 
Wishing you'd come back to me. 
And that's all that matters now. 
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea. 
Holding on to memories. 
And it's hurt me more than you know. 
So much more than it shows. 
All at once. 

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea. 
Wishing you'd come back to me. 
And that's all that matters now. 
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea. 
Holding on to memories. 
And it's hurt me more than you know. 
So much more than it shows. 
All at once.
