Canções com história: Pearl Jam – Alive

Quem segue o meu blog ou conhece-me sabe que sou um grande fã de Pearl Jam.
Aqui no blog já tinha contado a história por traz da música Jeremy do Album “Ten”. Desta vez vou partilhar a história por traz da música Alive do mesmo álbum de Jeremy, mas desta vez não serei eu a contar a história mas sim a pessoa que escreveu e interpreta a música, Eddie Vedder.

Aqui fica a história por traz da música Alive e com legendas.

Pearl Jam – Alive

Letra:

“Son,” she said, “have I got a little story for you…
What you thought was your daddy was nothin’ but a…
While you were sittin’ home alone at age thirteen
your real daddy was dyin’. Sorry you didn’t see him, but I’m glad we talked…”

Oh I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey…oh…

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man’s room.
She said “I’m ready…for you…”
“I can’t remember anything of this very day,
‘cept the look, the look…
Oh, you know where, now I can’t see, I just stare…”

I, I’m still alive
Hey I, but, I’m still alive
Hey I, boy, I’m still alive
Hey I, I, I, I’m still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah…yeah yeah yeah…oh…oh…

“Is something wrong?” she said
Of course there is
“You’re still alive,” she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so…if so…who answers…who answers…?

I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey I, oh, I’m still alive
Hey I, but, I’m still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I’m still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
