Sam Smith - Leave your lover

At the moment I have a lot of time on my hands. And the result of Monday 20th was this new cover of Sam Smiths song 'Leave your lover'. I LOVE his album 'In the lonely hour'. There's not one song I dislike!
In my version I changed 'leave him for me' to 'leave her for me', because I like it when I can relate to songs.
Here it is! Hope you enjoy.




                                                          

"Leave Your Lover"

I don't have much to give, but I don't care for gold
What use is money, when you need someone to hold?
Don't have direction, I'm just rolling down this road
Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold

You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

Pack up and leave everything,
Don't you see what I can bring
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
Set my midnight sorrow free,
I will give you all of me
Just leave your lover, leave him for me.
Leave your lover, leave him for me.

We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
Oh, I'm in love with you and you will never know,
But if I can't have you I'll walk this life alone
Spare you the rising storms and let the rivers flow

You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

Pack up and leave everything,
Don't you see what I can bring
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
Set my midnight sorrow free,
I will give you all of me
Just leave your lover, leave him for me
Leave your lover, leave him for me.
Leave your lover, leave him for me.


"we think too much about thinking too much"

we think we owe everyone
something, we think we need
to explain ourselves, and
we think too much about
thinking too much. 

and it is funny how we
think we know it all. but
the reality is this: everything
we think that brings us 
closer together is everything 
that sets us further apart. 

and overthinking of how
different we all are, is failing
to recognize of how connected
we all could be.

Ed Sheeran - One

I have been loving Ed Sheeran's new album 'X', and wanted to cover (at least) one of his new songs. And this song called 'One' caught my attention. His lyrics are so real!



Lyrics:

Tell me that you turned down the man
Who asked for your hand
'Cause you're waiting for me
And I know, you're gonna be away a while
But I've got no plans at all to leave

And would you take away my hopes and dreams and just stay with me?

All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
[Regular version:] Just promise me, you'll never leave again
[Acoustic version:] Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one

Take my hand and my
Heart and soul, I will
Only have these eyes for you
And you know, everything changes but
We'll be strangers if we see this through
You could stay within these walls and bleed
Or just stay with me
Oh lord, now

All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one

I'm stumbling off drunk, getting myself lost
I am so gone, so tell me the way home
I listen to sad songs, singing about love
And where it goes wrong

All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one 

Thank you for listening!

Honesty




"And when it was over
nothing defined us,
other than the moments
that made us feel free" - R.M.Drake

His writing goes straight to my heart. He writes down the feelings and words some of us are too afraid to say out loud. Most of (if not everything) he writes is something I can relate to, and one of the things I love the most is relatable writing, it makes me feel safe in some way. Knowing that I am not the only one feeling what I do.
R.M.Drake will always be my first favorite poet.
