Bruno Mars - "Grenade" (song)

Έψαχνα σήμερα ποιο κομμάτι θα έμπαινε για τραγούδι της ημέρας στο Γλέντι μας. Και έβαλα να ακούσω το τραγούδι που αυτήν τη στιγμή βρίσκεται στην κορυφή των charts στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες.

Και εντυπωσιάστηκα. Ήδη έχουμε φιλοξενήσει στο blog μας, τρεις δουλειές (Nothin' On You, Billionaire, Just The Way You Are) του εξαιρετικού Bruno Mars.

Το Grenade, όμως, είναι κάτι διαφορετικό. Ακούγοντας το, ένα όνομα μου ερχόταν στο μυαλό. Ο ένας και μοναδικός Michael Jackson. Τα φωνητικά, το συναίσθημα, ακόμα και η φιγούρα του Bruno Mars μου θύμιζαν τον βασιλιά της ποπ. Αλλά, όχι σαν μία κακή απομίμηση. Το τραγούδι έχει επιρροές, αλλά δεν παύει να είναι σύγχρονο και πρωτότυπο.

Μπαίνοντας, λοιπόν, στο Wikipedia για να βρω πληροφορίες σχετικά με το Grenade, διαπίστωσα ότι πάρα πολλοί κριτικοί το συσχετίζουν με το Dirty Diana του MJ!

Ακούστε, λοιπόν, και εσείς το Grenade. Είναι πολύ καλό...

Grenade

Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss,
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
Cause what you don't understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same

No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said “hey” when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman,
That's just what you are, yeah,
You’ll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same

If my body was on fire, ooh
You’ d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you're a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby...
But darling I’ll still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same.
No, you won’t do the same,
You wouldn’t do the same,
Ooh, you’ll never do the same,
No, no, no, no
