What’s better than music to talk about love? Only romance novels, perhaps ;-)
Tender and romantic, or funny and witty, sad, passionate, aggressive or sensual.. there are thousands of shades in songs, for thousands of different feelings; videoclips help expressing them so well that often you cannot think of one without the other.
And here we are with the monthly videoclip of one of our favourite love songs. Enjoy !

Cosa c’è di meglio della musica per parlar d’amore? Be’, forse solo un romanzo rosa ;-)
Canzoni tenere e romantiche, oppure buffe e divertenti, tristi o appassionate, aggressive o sensuali… ci sono mille sfumature musicali, per mille sentimenti diversi; ed i video aiutano ad esprimerle, completandole così bene che spesso canzone e video sono tanto collegati tra loro da non riuscire più a pensare all’una senza l’altro.
Ed ecco, anche questo mese, il videoclip di una delle nostre canzoni d’amore preferite. Buon ascolto!

Il videoclip di questo mese è / this month’s videoclip is:

Sade - No Ordinary Love
From the album: “Love Deluxe” (1992)
Director Sophie Muller

"No Ordinary Love" is the lead single from the English group Sade's fourth album, Love Deluxe (1992). The group’s name comes from her lead vocalists’s, the Nigerian-born singer and songwriter Helen Folasade Adu, better known as Sade, noted for her soulful, smoky contralto voice.
The song won a Grammy Award for "Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" in 1994, and was featured in the 1993 film Indecent Proposal.

The song speaks of an impossible love, which seems destined to an unhappy conclusion, in spite of the fact that there’s nothing ordinary in the relationship, which could be really wonderful. And what’s less ordinary than the love story between a mermaid and a human being? Faerie tales tell us that this kind of stories seldom has a HEA…. But we, romance lovers, nevertheless still hope in the deep of our hearts that the beautiful mermaid soon or late might succeed in her impossible love dream and find happiness.

"No Ordinary Love" è il singolo di maggior rilievo del quarto albm del gruppo inglese sade, Love Deluxe (1992). Il nome del gruppo viene dal nome della sua cantante di origine nigeriana, Helen Folasade Adu, più nota appunto come Sade, famosa per la sua morbida voce da contralto.
La canzone vinse un premio Grammy Award for "Migliore Performance di un Gruppo R&B " nel 1994, e venne usata nel film del 1993 “Proposta indecente” (Indecent Proposal).

La canzone parla di un amore impossibile, che sembra destinato a una conclusione infelice, benchè nella relazione non ci sia niente di comune o scontato, e potrebbe quindi essere davvero meravigliosa. E cosa c’è di meno comune della storia d’amore tra una sirena ed un essere umano? Le fiabe ci insegnano che questo tipo di storie raramente ha un lieto fine…. Ma noi, che amiamo il romance, continuiamo lo stesso a sperare nel profondo dei nostri cuori che la bellissima sirena prima o poi riuscirà a coronare il suo sogno d’amore impossibile e troverà la felicità.

 

“No ordinary love”

I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more
than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that
I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby

I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more
than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that
I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love

I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like
you and I baby

This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love

When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
