Escrita por Don Henley (Eagles) e melhor difundida no Brasil por Renato Russo em seu álbum “Stonewall Celebration Concert” essa música possui além de uma excelente melodia uma das mais belas letras que já conheci. Nesta singular montagem com interpretação de India Arie é melhor expressado seu verdadeiro significado.
Letras (exibir/ocultar)
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin’ on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love’s open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I’m learning again
I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it’s about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There’s a yearning undefined
…People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They’re the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
Doesn’t keep me warm
I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you, Baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it’s about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
There are people in your life who’ve come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carrin’ that anger, it’ll eat you inside
I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it’s about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I’m thinkin’ about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore

Cada um tem seus motivos, mas o fato é que nem sempre podemos realmente dizer o quanto algumas pessoas são importantes em nossa vida. Sendo ou não o seu caso, essa música retrata um pouco dessas noites mal dormidas e do silêncio ensurdecedor.

Levamos muito tempo erguendo verdadeiros arranha-céus de confiança, sendo necessário apenas alguns segundos para levar tudo abaixo. É sempre difícil reconstruir a confiança quebrada, mas será mesmo tarde demais?

Primeira música de Bryan Adams a entrar na lista dos 10 mais do "Billboard Hot 100". Essa é certamente uma das mais belas de suas composições tendo sido regravada também nas vozes de Ian Lloyd e Bonnie Tyler.

A simplicidade do clipe só não impressiona mais que a linda voz de Lisa Loeb. Letras (exibir/ocultar) You say I only hear what I want to. You say I talk so all the time so. And I thought what I felt was simple, and I thought that I don’t belong, and [...]
