While Jim Adams is on holiday, Fandango, the creator of This That And The Other, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY. This week we have the theme: SONGS THAT WERE TURNED DOWN BY RECORDING ARTISTS THAT WENT ON TO BECOME BIG HITS
I had a look at lists on various websites, and they all seemed to mention similar tracks – mostly involving Rihanna, Katie Perry, Mylie Cyrus, and Britney Spears…and they were all songs that were rather annoying. But there was another song on the list…and the other day when I went along to the supermarket to buy avocadoes and soya milk it was playing on the tannoy system. That song is…
Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” – which was turned down by…oh…I cannot remember. I read that the song was written for the artist Pink and it was also offered to someone called Hilary Duff. But it was Kelly Clarkson who eventually recorded this track. I like it…well, I like Kelly singing it especially – I think she has a champion voice.
Here's the thing: we started out friends It was cool but it was all pretend Yeah, yeah Since you've been gone You dedicated, you took the time Wasn't long 'til I called you mine Yeah, yeah Since you've been gone And all you'd ever hear me say Is how I pictured me with you That's all you'd ever hear me say But since you've been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on Yeah, yeah Thanks to you Now I get what I want Since you've been gone How can I put it? You put me on I even fell for that stupid love song Yeah, yeah Since you've been gone How come I'd never hear you say, "I just wanna be with you." I guess you never felt that way But since you've been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on Yeah, yeah Thanks to you Now I get (I get) what I want Since you've been gone You had your chance, you blew it Out of sight, out of mind Shut your mouth, I just can't take it Again and again, and again, and again Since you've been gone (Since you've been gone) I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on Yeah, yeah Thanks to you (thanks to you) Now I get, I get what I want I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on Yeah, yeah Thanks to you (thanks to you) Now I get (I get) You should know (you should know) That I get, I get what I want Since you've been gone Since you've been gone Since you've been gone Written by: Martin Karl and Sandberg Lukasz Gottwald
