You have been loved
Publié le 12 Octobre 2008

Sorti en 1997 peu aprés la mort de la princesse Diana et quelques mois aprés le déces de sa propre mére , George a dit à ce moment là qu'il était entouré par la mort.
Ce single figure sur l'album Older . Il évoque la mort d'Anselmo Feleppa .
George ne s'est pas rendu à ses funérailles mais a été sur sa tombe peu aprés en compagnie de la maman du défunt et cette chanson est le témoignage de ce moment là.
Son interprétation en est bouleversante forcément.

Les paroles :
She takes the back road and the lane
Past the school that has no changed
In all this time
She thinks of when the boy was young
All the battles she had won
Just to give him life
That man
She loved that man
For all his life
But now we meet to bring him flowers
And only God knows why
For what's the use in pressing pamls
When children fade in mother's arms
It's a cruel world
We've so much to loose
And what we have to learn we rarely choose
So if it's God who took her son
He cannot be the one living in her mind
Take care my love, she said
Don't think that God is dead
Take care my love, she said
You have been loved
If I was weak, forgive me
But I was terrified
You brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of love
The kind that makes devils cry
So these days
My life has changed
And I'll be fine
But she just sits and counts the hours
Searching for her crime
So what's the use of pressing palms
If you won't keep such love from harm
It's a cruel world
You've so much to prove
And heaven helps the ones who wait for you
Well I've no daughters, I've no sons
Guess I'm the only one
Living in my life
Take care my love, he said
Don't think that God is dead
Take care my love, he said
You have been loved

Essayez de faire abstraction du public qui parle et ... quelle interprétation bouleversante , on a l'impression que George est toujours à la limite de pleurer ou de craquer ...
