She Told Me

Sad songs say so much, Elton John sang. They do, yes. Here’s another one. Shirley (lyrics) didn’t want to do the song at first because she thought it was too sad. I could only convince her sayin it can also be looked at as a warning to every guy to be more careful with the one you love. She might not be there anymore one day. But, so sad, that’s too late now for the guy in this song. Buy him a beer and cheer him up…

This title already got nice comments from the Just Plain Folks forum and also from taxi.com where it was submitted to one of their listings. No forward unfortunately.
It has a interesting song structure and though it may not be one of the coolest recordings ever, Donna and me are quite proud of this one. Great AC (adult contemporary) song.
The lyric was actually a poem, not meant to be a song lyric. We will probably try another one this way (first the poem, then the song) some time later. Lots of people say a poem cannot be a song’s lyric. Seems nice trying to prove that idea wrong now and then.

Song in style power ballad. I’ve always like that style for a ballad. When you do a ballad, better do it like you’re standing on top of a hill screaming it to the world… Well, you can see them doing that in many music clips these days. So – where’s that hill in lowland Holland?

The song’s title originally is Como Vai Voce (song by brasil artist/composer Roberto Carlos – spanish title “Que Sera De Ti“). I always liked the Daniela Mercury version of that tune a lot, and wanted to have an english version of it. Special thanks to Ana Christina who gave me the story of the song. Thanks to that I could do an english lyric that was true to the original. Daniela Mercury’s version (o o so so beautiful!!) is an acoustic guitar ballad – I turned it into a pop power ballad – but if you want me to do the acoustic guitar version, the piano version, the orchestral version, etc. — o well that can be done also.
Here’s the Daniela Mercury version:
