Bryan Adams

HERE I have some notes about Canadian singer, Bryan Adams. I guess he was Britton for the first time I heard his song. Evidently, I’ve done wrong. It happened in 1992, when I watched Kevin Costner film, Robin Hood: Princes of Thieves at Kartika Chandra Theatre, Jakarta.  The theme song of this legendary film is (Everything I Do) I Do It For You. Oh Lord, what a beautiful song! I told myself at that time.

Bryan Adams was born on 5 November 1959 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, to English parents, but also has Maltese ancestry, because his grandmother and great-grandmother being from Malta.

This album, I mean Waking Up The Neighbours which consist single (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, went to number one in many countries in the world in 1991 and 1992 with the single spending record-breaking 16 weeks at number one on UK Singles Chart and 17 weeks on top of US Hot 100 Singles Sales. It also made record-breaking sales of 3 million copies in the US. Spectacular!

Second, I heard also his another song Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman touching with Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia in his album 18 Til I Die. I love guitar, so I impressed with this song.  Last, Heaven. I don’t have any comments of this remakable song. Just sing it!

(Everything I Do ) I Do It For You

Look into my eyes – you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart – search your soul
And when you find me there you’ll search no more

Don’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for
You can’t tell me it’s not worth dyin’ for
You know it’s true
Everything I do – I do it for you

Look into your heart – you will find
There’s nothin’ there to hide
Take me as I am – take my life
I would give it all – I would sacrifice

Don’t tell me it’s not worth fightin’ for
I can’t help it – there’s nothin’ I want more
Ya know it’s true
Everything I do – I do it for you

There’s no love – like your love
And no other – could give more love
There’s nowhere – unless you’re there
All the time – all the way yeah

(background quite)
To your heart baby

Oh – you can’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for
I can’t help it – there’s nothin’ I want more
I would fight for you – I’d lie for you
Walk the wire for you – ya I’d die for you

Ya know it’s true
Everything I do – oooww – I do it for you

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman

To really love a woman
To understand her – you gotta know it deep inside
Hear every thought – see every dream
N’ give her wings – when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin’ helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched
You’ve gotta breathe her – really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N’ when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman
you tell her that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that you’ll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith – hold her tight
A little tenderness – gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin’ good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman…

Then when you find yourself lyin’ helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman? You got to tell me
Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman?

Heaven

Oh – thinking about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Now nothing can take you away from me
We’ve been down that road before
But that’s over now
You keep me coming back for more

*Chorus:
Baby you’re all that I want
When you’re lying here in my arms
I’m finding it hard to believe
We’re in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heaven

Oh – once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you’re feeling down

Yeah nothing could change what you mean to me
Oh there’s lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

*Chorus*

I’ve been waiting for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along

Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad
I’ll be standing there by you

*chorus*oh no..oh no..we’re in heaven..

 Please Forgive Me

Still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss

No one can better this
Still holding on, you’re still the one
First time our eyes met
Same feeling I get
Only feels much stronger
Wanna love you longer
You still turn the fire on

so if you’re feelin’ lonely don’t
you’re the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good
so if I love you a little more than I should

Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can’t stop loving you
Don’t deny me this pain I’m going through
Please forgive me I need you like I do
Please believe me every word I say is true
Please forgive me I can’t stop loving you

Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch
Still getting closer baby
Can’t get close enough
Still holding on you’re still number one

I remember everything
I remember all your moves
I remember you, yeah

So if you’re feeling lonely don’t
You’re the only one I ever want
