Better in Time (Leona Lewis)

spirit leona lewis cd cover Recunosc. Chiar imi place fata asta, mi-e draga tare! Are talent, voce, ambitie, e una din femeile care au luptat pentru sansa lor, s-a reinventat si a pasit din anonimatul unei receptii de hotel direct acolo sus, pe varful acela ascutit si fragil, ca varful unui ac de gamalie: above all. O poveste de debut cu happy-end.

Dupa Bleeding Love, pentru care au aparut doua variante de clip, una europena si alta pentru US, apoi A Moment Like This lansat in preajma Craciunului, in urma cu numai cateva zile a avut loc o dubla lansare, un double A-side cum am vazut ca se spune in muzica: Better in Time si Footprints in the Sand (aceasta din urma fiind o mana de ajutor intinsa organizatiei umanitare Comic Relief).

Footprints in the Sand” is a ballad written by Richard Page, Per Magnusson, David Kreuger and Simon Cowell and produced by Steve Mac for Leona Lewis‘s debut album, Spirit. It is to be released in March 2008 as Lewis’s third single, as a double A-side with “Better in Time“.

Better in Time

Desi albumul ei de debut, Spirit, nu s-a bucurat de ovatii din partea criticilor (in US fiind numita doar o “alta Whitney Houston”), muzica ei este totusi placut lucrata iar, in cazul ei, vocea face muzica. Am zis bine? :)

A doua melodie mi-a amintit de un vechi poem, dupa care a fost, de altfel, adaptata:

Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,

other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed

that during the low periods of my life,

when I was suffering from

anguish, sorrow or defeat,

I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord,

that if I followed you,

you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during

the most trying periods of my life

there have only been one

set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most,

you have not been there for me?”

The Lord replied,

“The times when you have

seen only one set of footprints in the sand,

is when I carried you.”

(Mary Stevenson)
