| José González – Heartbeats Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Looking through the comments on here i think a lot of people need to listen to the original song. The original was sung by The Knife and is an amazing version... Jose Gonzalez has changed the style dramatically and done a briliiant job, but changing the style does not change the meaning. The song is not a beautiful song like his version is leading you too believe. The song is about a 1 night stand that was never intended as anything more... The girl in the relationship falls in love without meaning too but unfortunately the guy does not. She had no intention to fall in love, and the song leads you through the stages until the inevitable realisation that the guy still considers it just a one night stand as is continuing similar nights with different people (heartbeats)... The girl therefore is missing out on what she thought was her perfect love (her Deus Ex Machina) which leads to a sad ending to the song. Not necessarily a beautiful one. Please listen to the original because its a brilliant song, and i think its unfortunate that Jose Gonzalez seems to have paid little attention to the true meaning of the song, and innevitably lost its true meaning in his treanslation. |
