Last time I shared:
Tina Turner “Better Be Good to Me”
This week’s share:
London Grammar
“Strong”
Lyrics:
Excuse me for a while
While I’m wide-eyed
And I’m so down caught in the middle
I’ve excused you for a while
While I’m wide-eyed
And I’m so down caught in the middle
And a lion, a lion, roars would you not listen?
If a child, a child cries would you not forgive them?
Yeah, I might seem so strong
Yeah, I might speak so long
I’ve never been so wrong
I might seem so strong
Yeah, I might speak so long
I’ve never been so wrong
Excuse me for a while,
Turn a blind eye
With a stare caught right in the middle
Have you wondered for a while
I have a feeling deep down?
You’re caught in the middle
If a lion, a lion roars would you not listen?
If a child, a child cries would you not forgive them?
Yeah, I might seem so strong
Yeah, I might speak so long
I’ve never been so wrong
I might seem so strong
Yeah, I might speak so long
I’ve never been so wrong
Excuse me for a while
While I’m wide-eyed
And I’m so down caught in the middle
Have you wondered for a while
I have a feeling deep down?
You’re caught in the middle
Yeah, I might seem so strong
Yeah, I might speak so long
I’ve never been so wrong
I might seem so strong
Yeah, I might speak so long
I’ve never been so wrong
From the album: “If You Wait”

Beautiful and different voice. The lyrics are strong with a lot to say. Is this a new group?

No, actually, this is their debut album here from 2013. She does have an amazing voice. You might remember Celena Graves covering this song on AGT. I went Gaga over it. 😂 I miss her so much.

I love her tremolo voice and that late 70’s Chevrolet.

Good call, David. I didn’t even think about the car. If you like her voice, you should check out Celena’s cover of this song for AGT in 2019.
We voted for her every week. Simon was very fond of her, but then he went and crashed his electric bike and broke his back. She ended up going home one performance after this one, but I still follow her. Worth a listen—amazing.
