  • Such a beautiful song by Melody Gardot..both the melody and the lyrics are sooo beautiful..if the stars were mine!!
    **Song licensed by UMG
    If the stars were mine
    I'd give them all to you
    I'd pluck them down right from the sky
    and leave it only blue
    I would never let the sun forget to shine upon your face
    so when others would have rain clouds you'd have only sunny days
    If the stars were mine
    I'd tell you what I'd do
    I'd put the stars right in a jar and give 'em all to you
    If the birds were mine
    I'd tell them when to sing
    I'd make them sing a sonnet when your telephone would ring
    I would put them there inside the square, whenever you went out
    so there'd always be sweet music whenever you would walk about
    If the birds were mine
    I'd tell you what I'd do
    I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
    I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
    If the world was mine
    I'd paint it gold and green
    I'd make the oceans orange for a brilliant color scheme
    I would color all the mountains, make the sky forever blue
    So the world would be a painting and I'd live inside with you
    If the world was mine
    I'd tell you what I'd do
    I'd wrap the world in ribbons and then give it all to you
    I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
    I'd put those stars right in a jar...and..........
    give them all...to you.......

    I love Melody's voice because it isn't forced. So many singers press and push and strain, which is not what this instrument is meant to do. Her voice is naturally beautiful, light, smooth--perfect. Don't change a thing, Melody. I want to hear you for many years to come.

      She was hit by a car, which is what started her music career via therapy. It's also the reason she sounds the same on ALL her songs...

      OK. I think got it. She does all the work while you go after elaborating it, right? I think that's something new, a new concept. Would you, please, tell me the name of it?

    • @BenHopkins1000
      @BenHopkins1000 Před 8 lety +6

      gatofelixriodejaneir No. To be honest, I like Melody as much as Kylie here. She's beaten the odds, and made something out of herself. She's an inspiration.

    Once in my life, I met someone who made me feel the way this song did. I would have given anything to be with him, the stars, the birds, the world, but he got with somebody else. Maybe someday, I will meet someone else who makes me feel the same way. I haven't yet, but maybe someday...

    NO the kids at the end don't spoil the song ,it makes it! The song is about wishful thinking and what you'd like to do for the love of your life Then you have kids that squabble and fight, so you give them a clip round the ear,which is what you hear at the end of the song. Priceless!
    Alternatively...... you have a big sister that thinks she's a pop star and you spoil the recording for her.You decide the reason why the ending.........it's your choice and it definitely doesn't spoil it.
