Avril Lavigne, la cantante di “sk8er boi”, torna sulle scene musicali dopo 5 anni d'assenza.
Ieri, 19 settembre, è uscito il primo singolo del nuovo album di inediti attualmente in lavorazione: "Head above Water".
Ad annunciare l'uscita del brano è stata proprio la cantante canadese, ora 33 enne, che ha condiviso con i fan una toccante lettera pubblicata sul suo sito internet.
Avril Lavigne condivide col suo pubblico un brano intimo, che racconta la sua sofferenza, dovuta alla malattia di cui ha sofferto per anni e racconta di quanto sia stato difficile quel periodo.
Testo:
I’ve gotta keep the calm before the storm I don’t want less, I don’t want more Must bar the windows and the doors To keep me safe, to keep me warm
Yeah my life is what I’m fighting for Can’t part the sea, can’t reach the shore And my voice becomes the driving force I won’t let this pull me overboard
God, keep my head above water Don’t let me drown, it gets harder I’ll meet you there at the altar As I fall down to my knees Don’t let me drown, drown, drown Don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me drown
So pull me up from down below ‘Cause I’m underneath the undertow Come dry me off and hold me close I need you now I need you most
God, keep my head above water Don’t let me drown, it gets harder I’ll meet you there at the altar As I fall down to my knees Don’t let me drown, drown, drown (Don’t let me, don’t let me don’t let me drown) Don’t let me drown, drown, drown And keep my head above water (Don’t let me, don’t let me don’t let me drown) Above water
And I can’t see in the stormy weather I can’t seem to keep it all together And I, I can’t swim the ocean like this forever And I can’t breathe
God, keep my head above water I loose my breath at the bottom Come rescue me, I’ll be waiting I’m too young to fall asleep
God, keep my head above water Don’t let me drown, it gets harder I’ll meet you there at the altar As I fall down to my knees
Don’t let me drown Don’t let me drown (Don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me drown) Don’t let me drown And keep my head above water (Don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me drown) Above water
