先月はマンチェスターのコンサート会場で自爆テロが発生。
音楽には興味ないし最近はニュースからも遠ざかっているので、誰のコンサートだったのかすらよく知りませんでした。
チラ見した限りではとぉ~ても若いアイドル歌手みたいだったので、
(なぁんだ、小娘の歌になぞ用はないわ!) と思った私は55歳。
が・・・ 通勤するカーラジオから流れた、コンサートの主だったアリアナ・グランデの曲を2~3回聴いたら、
軽くてテンポがよくて、頭の中でグルグルされてしまい・・・ 要するに、気に入ったんですね。 この曲です。
“One Last Time” (試聴はコチラ)
I was a liar I gave in to the fire
I know I should've fought it At least I'm being honest
Feel like a failure 'Cause I know that I failed you
I should've done you better 'Cause you don't want a liar
And I know, and I know, and I know She gives you everything,
But, boy, I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know That you got everything,
But I got nothing here without you
So one last time I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time I promise, after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time I need to be the one who takes you home
I don't deserve it I know I don't deserve it,
But stay with me a minute I swear I'll make it worth it
Can't you forgive me? At least just temporarily
I know that this is my fault I should've been more careful
And I know, and I know, and I know She gives you everything,
But, boy, I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know That you got everything,
But I got nothing here without you, baby
So one last time I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time I promise, after that I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time I need to be the one who takes you home
I know I should've fought it At least I'm being honest
But stay with me a minute I swear I'll make it worth it, babe
'Cause I don't wanna be without you
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time I promise, after that I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home

小娘の曲も、ぜんぜん悪くないじゃん! それに彼女、カワイイわぁ~
若い子が夢中になるのもわかる。 私の世代がモモエちゃんに憧れたのと一緒だな。
と、乳児を見て顔をほころばせる老婆のような心境になっている私なのですた。
2015年のヒット曲らしいから、すでにご存知の方には
(なにを今さら・・・)な記事だったことをお詫び申し上げます。
