LOVE SONGS – CANZONI D’AMORE


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:

Always – Bon Jovi
From the album: “Cross Road“ (1994)

"Always" is a ballad by the band Bon Jovi, released as a single off their 1994 album, “Cross Road”, which went on to become their biggest selling single, with more than 4 million copies sold worldwide. "Always" became an instant hit at live concerts, but the high demand on Jon Bon Jovi's vocals have seen it rarely performed in concert following the band's 1995/1996 “These Days” tour.
The song, which gets its title from a Tom Waits’ song, was originally written for the soundtrack to the film “Romeo Is Bleeding”, but after seeing (and disliking) the movie, the band decided not to lend the song to the producers and left it of its shelf until a friend convinced Jon to release it on the band's Cross Road album. The music video featured the actors Keri Russell("Mission: Impossible III" and the TV series "Felicity" ), Jack Noseworthy, Carla Gugino and Jason Wiles.

"Always" is a love ballad about a man who is deeply in love with a woman who left him. Speaking about the song in concert in 2004, Jon Bon Jovi said, "So many people have taken this song and really felt like 'awww it's so romantic, it's so wonderful', but truthfully, this guy's practically a stalker, he's a sick human being.... so I'm glad that you guys see the glass as half full".


"Always" è una ballata del gruppo americano Bon Jovi, che fu pubblicata come singolo a partire dal loro album del 1994, “Cross Road”, e che sarebbe diventata il loro singolo più venduto, con oltre 4 milioni di copie vendute in tutto il mondo. "Always" diventò immediatamente un successo anche ai concerti live della band, ma vista l’elevata difficoltà vocale che comportava per Jon Bon Jovi, dopo il tour “These Days” del 1995/1996 venne raramente eseguita dal vivo.
La canzone, che prende il nome da un motivo di Tom Waits, originariamente fu scritta come colonna sonora del film ”Triplo Gioco” (“Romeo Is Bleeding”), ma dopo che il gruppo ebbe visto il film, senza apprezzarlo affatto, decise di non affidare la canzone ai produttori, e “Always” se ne restò sullo scaffale finchè un amico di Jon lo convinse a usarla per l’album Cross Road.
Nel videoclip appaiono tra gli altri gli attori Keri Russell ( "Mission: Impossible III" e la serie TV "Felicity" ), Jack Noseworthy, Carla Gugino e Jason Wiles.

"Always" è una ballata che parla di un uomo profondamente innamorato di una donna che l’ha abbandonato. Durante un concerto del 2004, parlando della canzone, Jon Bon Jovi disse, "Tanta gente ascolta questa canzone e pensa, “ooooh, com’è romantico, è una cosa meravigliosa!” ma, francamente, questo tizio in pratica è ossessionato, è uno fuori di testa.... quindi mi fa piacere che voialtri vediate il bicchiere mezzo pieno!".

"Always"

This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up.

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up.

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's ment to be
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby that's just me.

And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always.

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry
One that made you have to say good bye.

What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes I'm just a man.

When he holds you close
When he pulls you near
When he says the words
You've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him, that his words were mine
To say to you till the end of time.

That I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
If you told me to cry for you I could
If you told me to die for you I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you.

Well there ain't no luck in these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines.

And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always.
