Too Much Love Will Kill You

Sabeu aquesta cançó de Queen, feia molt temps que no l'escoltava i aquesta tardor ha tornat a mi.

Ara porto un parell de dies escoltant-la profundament. És una cançó que, amb la veu del Freddie Mercury agafa un caire especial, perquè diu que massa amor et matarà, que una mica és el que li va passar a ell.

També diu altes coses, com uns versos que a mi, en aquests moments, em fa posar al pell de gallina:
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be

I aquesta estrofa
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down

Quan li sento cantar, em fa pensar en mi (digueu-me egoista :P)... jo he estat una ombra de mi mateixa, no pels mateixos motius que ell, però cadascú s'apaga pel que s'apaga, no? I ara em sembla que, quan ja torno a portar llum, em torno a sentir que vaig cap al camí de tornar a ser una ombra de mi mateixa. I no vull.

Vinga, us deixo amb la cançó. Jo l'escolto amb el volum ben alt (tant com em toleren els veïns, que no és gaire) i deixant que el malaguanyat Freddie m'expliqui les seves penes.

Gaudiu-ne. Jo també ho faré.





I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long

I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never red the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down

How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie

Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.
