Reciclagem musical XXXIV

Para esta trigésima quarta reciclagem musical escolhi uma canção chamada Footballer’s wife da jovem cantora escocesa Amy MacDonald que parte do seu album de estreia This is the life (2008).

“Footballer’s wife”

Oh Mr. James Dean, he don't belong to anything
Oh he left before they could get him
With their ways, their wicked ways

Oh Marilyn Monroe, where did you go?
I didn't hear all your stories
I didn't see all your glory

But the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend
That she's one of them?
I don't think so

And the girl from that show
Yes the one we all know
She thinks she's some kinda star
Yes you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so

Oh Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire
Won't you dance for me cos I just don't care
What's going on today
I think there's something more, something more
And I'm gone with the wind like they were before
But I'm believing myself I think there's something more
There must be something more
I think there's something more, something more

But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend
That she's one of them?
I don't think so
And the girl from that show
Yes the one we all know
She thinks she's some kinda star
Yes you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so

Oh I don't believe in the telling of your stories
Throughout your life, there's just something unappealing
It don't catch my eye
It don't catch my eye
Oh I don't believe in the selling of your glories
Before you leave this life, there's so much more to see
I don't believe this is how the world should be

But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend
That she's one of them?
I don't think so
And the girl from that show
Yes the one we all know
She thinks she's some kinda star
Yes you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so
The footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end
Who is she to pretend
That she's one of them?

Esta canção lembra-nos de que fama não é apenas aparecer no mundo da televisão e das revistas cor-de-rosa, limitando-se a contar as suas historias desinteressantes e que nada significam. Um Esquecem-se de que o talento não se faz por encomenda e que um artista tem de ter uma mensagem a transmitir com a sua obra e através chegar às pessoas. Especialmente neste mundo onde tudo e muito efémero, e se tudo se pode desvanvanecer mais cedo ou mais tarde, com a diferença de que quem tem de facto algo a dizer acaba por ser recordado mais tarde, ao contrario destas pseudo-estrelas de quem ninguém se vai lembrar.
