HEAD OVER FEET

  Voce, ritmo, parole forti e bellissime, vere. E l’energia di Alanis Morissette che lotta, incanta, scandalizza, commuove e racconta a tutti cosa accade davanti ad un amore inaspettato, grandissimo, impensabile prima che accadesse. “Non avevo altra scelta che ascoltarti, mi tratti come una principessa, di solito non mi piace questo, ma tu mi hai già conquistato, nonostante me stessa. Non sorprenderti se sono sottosopra, ti amo per tutto ciò che sei, non posso farci niente, è tutta colpa tua.” E’ tratta dal riuscitissimo e famoso Jagged little pill del 1995, che col suo successo ha aperto la strada a tantissime cantanti rock di oggi, (quasi) mai all’altezza dell’originale. Grazie a Caterina che mi ha fatto scoprire e amare Alanis e questa canzone.

Head over feat
(Alanis Morissette) 

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it   You treat me like I’m a princess
I’m not used to liking that
You ask how my day was  You’ve already won me over in spite of me
Don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your faults  

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for
That’s not lip service  You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it It’s all your faults  You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience  You’re the best listener that
I’ve ever met
You’re my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long  I’ve never felt this healthy before
I’ve never wanted something rational
I am aware now, I am aware now  You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it It’s all your faults  You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it It’s all your faults
