I don't know how to love him (from Jesus Christ Superstar) (1971)
In de Rockopera Jesus Christ Superstar vertellen componist Andrew Lloyd Webber en tekstschrijver Tim Rice op geheel eigen wijze de gebeurtenissen tijdens de laatste zeven dagen van het leven van Jesus Christus. Een van de bekendste liederen uit deze rockopera is het lied dat Maria Magdelana zingt om haar uitgeputte superstar tot rust te laten komen. Een prachtige hymne vol twijfels met de titel 'I don't know how to love him'.
I don't know how to love him,
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes, really changed.
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man, he's just a man.
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways:
He's just one more
Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love - let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about
Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head, I'd back away,
I wouldn't want to know -
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.
Thompson/Foster
I have nothing (from The Bodyguard)
De film The Bodyguard gaat over een voormalig CIA agent, Frank Farmer (gespeeld door Kevin Costner), die als zelfstandige is gaan werken als bodyguard voor mensen trachten te voorkomen dat zij vermoord worden. Hij neemt de klus van bodyguard op zich van Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston) die zonder dat zij dat weet, een aantal zeer bedreigende brieven heeft ontvangen. Rachel, een beroemd zangers en goed voor een Academy Award, geniet grote populariteit en vormt daarmee een groot contrast met Franks andere klanten, die een veel minder openbaar leven leiden. Het gevolg is een machtsstrijd tussen Frank en Rachel. Frank heeft zich tot doel gesteld Rachel voor de dood te behoeden, ongeacht de invloed die dat heeft op Rachels persoonlijke leven. Rachel wil echter koste wat het kost haar vrijheid behouden. Uiteraard spring dan de onvermijdelijk vonk over tussen beiden. Hartstocht en passie leiden tot verdere spanningen. Kortom, een film over de turbulente ontwikkeling van een relatie tussen de Bodyguard en de Diva.
Share my life
Take me for what I am
Cuz I'll never change
All my colors for you
Take my love
I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are
And everything that you do
I don't really need to look
Very much farther
I don't wanna go
Where you don't follow
I don't hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I Have Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, if i don't have you (you-oo, you-oo, you)
You see through
Right to the heart of me
You break down my walls
With the strength of your love (mm..)
I never knew
Love like I known it's with you
Will the memories survive?
One I can hold on to
I don't really need to look
Very much farther
I don't wanna go
Where you don't follow
I don't hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
You're the love I remember forever
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing
Nothing
Nothing, if I don't have you
You, if I don't have you
His Majesty's Blues
H.M.K. Bhumibol Adulyadej (music)
H.H. Prince Chakrabandh Pensiri (lyric)
We 've got the Hungry Men's Blues.
You'll be hungry too, if you're in this band.
Don't you think that our music is grand?
We've got the Hungry Men's Blues.
You've eaten now all of you.
We'd like to eat with you too,
That's why we've got the H.M. Blues.
Candlelight Blues
H.M.K. Bhumibol Adulyadej (music)
Assoc. Prof. Sodsai Pantoomkomol (lyric)
The candlelight is shining low,
My only love, I'm missing you so.
I know I've lost
But still I dream of you.
I'll hope and dream
Till all my dreams come true.
Just by the candlelight
You used to hold me tight.
This candlelight reminds me so of you;
By candlelight you kissed me.
Still the candle's burning for two,
But darling, where can you be?
Come back, my love,
If you're feeling this blue
By candlelight you'll meet me.
But darling where can you be?
