18-02-2019 .. This story is dedicated to a memory
De titel van dit blog staat achterop de cover van de single van George Michael, A different corner. Hoe toepasselijk in deze muziekherinnering-uitdaging. (opent in een nieuw venster)
I'd say love was a magical thing
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there
I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare, no I don't dare
'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared, I'm so scared
Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care
I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
Little by little you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care
No I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared of this love
And if all that there is is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear
In mijn boek 'Ik wou dat de hemel openging' vermeld ik kort dat ik een wat gecompliceerde relatie had. Dat was onder andere in de tijd dat A different corner een hit was. De relatie duurde 'iets' langer dan de hit, maar het nummer heeft alle jaren een betekenis gehouden.
