You are my number one
Redescobri recentemente, no meio daqueles álbuns que já nem me lembrava que existiam, uma das minhas bandas preferidas - ou assim o era na altura em que a ouvia mais, no final do meu 9º ano...
As músicas dos Smash Mouth transportam-me para aqueles dias de Primavera recheados de sol e para os sentimentos de ansiedade da altura: acabar o ano, mudar de escola, a descoberta do secundário... Sinto que foi há dezenas de anos atrás, mas lembro-me do final do meu 9º ano como se fosse ontem...
A música que mais recordações me traz é, simultaneamente, a que parece fazer novamente sentido nesta altura... "You are my number one", do álbum "Get the picture?":
Hold me down
I'm gonna fly straight to heaven
Hold me down
Dont ever let go
I've been around
You know I can't stay forever
And when I leave
I want you to know -
When I'm finally gone, I'm gonna be gone without a trace
There's a lot of good times ahead before we're done
And on top of this list of things before I leave this place
You are my number one, yes you are my number one
Cause you can tell me lies, you know that I'd still believe you (say what?)
Stay right here dont leave from that spot (come right back here my girl)
I can't go, you know I'm afraid to leave you
Don't you know? you're all that I've got
I'm afread if you go you might disappear behind a mist
And I'd rather be hung from a tree or shot by a gun
And of all of these things that matter here upon my list
You are my number one, yes you are my number one
You are my number one (say so)
Trying to make it clear (good gosh)
Trying to let you know
When you're afraid
I'm gonna be there...
When I'm finally gone, I'm gonna be gone without a trace
There's a lot of good times ahead before we're done
And and and on top of this list of things before i leave this place
You are my number one
Yeah you are my number one
Whoa baby, said you are my number one
You are my number one
