I'm Still Waiting...

Curioso que o meu tema favorito de Perry Blake seja, na verdade, um original de Diana Ross! "I'm Still Waiting" é um dos poemas mais carregados de emoção que já li... Perry Blake passou-o do feminino para o masculino e faz uma interpretação carregada de dramatismo, muito bem acompanhada por um violino e um violoncelo. É aliás o tema de fecho do concerto acústico em Bruxelas, editado sob o nome "Broken Statues".

Como não encontro um video, aqui fica apenas a letra...

Só encontro paralelismo do peso emocial em "My Immortal" de Evanescence; este também, um dos meus favoritos (e até encontrei a minha versão favorita... a meio do tema, a melacolia é rasgada pela bateria e pela distorção da guitarra... até me faz transpirar!).

I remember when
I was five and you were ten, boy
You knew that I was shy
So you teased and made me cry
But I loved you

Then one day you came
You told me you were leaving
You gave your folks the blame
And made me cry again
When you said

Little girl
Please dont wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
Ooh, little girl
Please dont wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
And Im still waiting

Im waiting
Ooh, still waiting
Im just a fool
Ooh, Im a fool
To keep waiting

Then someone finally came
He told me that he loved me
I put him off with lies
He could see I had no eyes
So he left me once again alone
Like a child without her playmate
I had to face the truth
I was still in love with you
But you said:

Little girl
Please dont wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
Ooh, little girl
Please dont wait for me
Wait patiently for love
Someday will surely come
And Im still waiting

Love has never shown his face
Since the day you walked out that door
You filled my life with empty space
Come back
Cant you see its you Im waiting for

Dont you know Im waiting
Im waiting for love
For you, I miss you
Im waiting
Come on back, boy
I need you
I want you
Thats what my friends says

(I'm still waiting - Perry Blake)

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

(Evanecence - My Immortal)
