Melissa Etheridge - Bring Me Some Water

BRING ME SOME WATER “MELISSA ETHERIDGE”

Esta canción la escuché hace ya buen tiempo  por primera vez en una radio de Lima llamada
doble 9 o 99 (que pasaba buena música rock de esos años y del recuerdo) y la
interprete me pareció de un gran registro vocal y la canción de gran factura.

 Aunque mi ingenuidad me impidió
“reconocer un doble discurso lésbico en sus letra” luego supe que quien la  compuso
además cantaba el tema y se llamaba “Melissa Etheridge” nacida un 29 de mayo de 1961  y que la canción Bring me some  Water” es la penúltima
canción de su disco debut homónimo publicado el 2 de mayo de 1988 y  aunque la cantante  sigue en la ruta,  creo que aún no superó esta que considero su
mejor canción:

Tonight I feel so
weak

But all in love is
fair

I turn the other
cheek

And I feel the slap
and the sting of the foul night air

And I know you're
only human

And I haven't got
talking room

But tonight while I'm
making excuses

Some other woman is
making love to you

Somebody bring me
some water

Can't you see I'm
burning alive

Can't you see my
baby's got another lover

I don't know how I'm
gonna survive

Somebody bring me
some water

Can't you see it's
out of control

Baby's got my heart
and my baby's got my mind

But tonight the sweet
Devil's got my soul

When will this aching
pass

When will this night
be through

I want to hear the
breaking glass

I only feel the steel
of the red hot truth

And I'd do anything
to get it out of my mind

I need some insanity
that temporary kind

Tell me how will I
ever be the same

When I know that
woman is whispering your name

Somebody bring me
some water

Can't you see I'm
burning alive

Can't you see my
baby's got another lover

I don't know how I'm
gonna survive

Somebody bring me
some water

Can't you see it's
out of control

Baby's got my heart
and my baby's got my mind

But tonight the sweet
Devil's got my soul

Oh, the Devil's got
my soul

Somebody bring me
some water

Can't you see I'm
burning alive

Can't you see my
baby's got another lover

I don't know how I'm
gonna survive

Somebody bring me
some water

Can't you see it's
out of control

Baby's got my heart
and my baby's got my mind

But tonight the sweet
Devil's got my soul
