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:

 

Nothing compares 2 U - Sinead O’Connor
from the album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" (1990)
video directed by John Maybury

"Nothing Compares 2 U" is a song written around 1984 by Prince, whose heartfelt version by controversial Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor became a number-one hit in many countries in 1990.
The video for "Nothing Compares 2 U" is considered to be one of the best videos of the 1990s, and won Best Video at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards - the first video by a female artist to win in this category. It consists almost solely of a closeup on O'Connor's face as she passionately sings the song's lyrics, with genuine tears rolls down each side of her face. Pure emotion, not only for Sinéad but also for all of us – in such an intense love song, what more can you ask for?

"Nothing Compares 2 U" è una canzone scritta all’incirca nel 1984 da Prince, la cui accorata interpretazione da parte della discussa cantante irlandese Sinéad O'Connor nel 1990 divenne un successo in molte nazioni del mondo, arrivando al numero uno delle classifiche.
Il video di "Nothing Compares 2 U" viene considerato uno dei migliori di tutti gli anni Novanta, e vinse il premio come Miglior Video agli MTV Video Music Awards del 1990 - è stato il primo video interpretato da una cantante donna a vincere in questa categoria. Consiste quasi unicamente in un primissimo piano del volto di Sinéad mentre canta appassionatamente, e vere lacrime le scorrono sulle guance. Emozioni allo stato puro, non solo per Sinéad ma anche per tutti noi – in una canzone d’amore così intensa, cosa si può volere di più?

Nothing compares 2 U

It's been seven hours and fifteen days,
since you took your love away I go
out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whom ever i choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, but
nothing, i said nothing can take away these blues, cos'

Nothing compares, nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
like a bird without a song ahhh
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling,
'tell me baby, where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy i see
they'd only remind me of you ahhh
I went to the doctors and guess what he
told me, guess what he told me, he said
girl you'd better try to have fun, no matter
what you do, but he's a fool cos'

Nothing compares, nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted mama in the back yard
all died when you went away ahhh
I know that living with you baby, was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try cos'

Nothing compares, nothing compares to you
nothing compares, nothing compares to you
nothing compares, nothing compares to you
