Jim Adams aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: AUSTRALIAN MUSIC
My mother’s family are Australian…and of course gorgeous Goldfinch is Australian, so this week’s theme made me smile. I was so tempted to feature Kylie Minogue…and Jason Donavon…but I have taken a slightly different direction.
The lady who introduced this song to me is called…Jo Whiley. Many of you will recognize her as one of the big names of radio. I first heard of Jo Whiley when I was a teenager, and I thought what she did in the music industry sounded amazing. I wanted to do what she did. However, at an early age I was put off by the behaviour I saw in the music industry, and the bass player of a band assumed I was of legal age…when I actually was only fourteen…well, that was the night I decided I did not want to work with scumbags!
Anyway, back to Jo Whiley. I was driving my sister’s car one evening and I turned on the radio, and there was Jo’s dulcet tones recommending the song I have chosen for today. These two twin sisters Lisa and Jessica Origliasso are better known as The Veronicas. The first time I heard this song fell in love with it. It captured my mood at the time. (Those were the dark days when Jack was being super-weird with me and I cold not escape him wherever I went.)
This song is called “You Ruin Me”. I love the video, I love their drama of the music, I love their voices….it is such a great track. Oh, did I mention they are Australian?
Job well done Standing ovation Yeah you got what you wanted I guess you won And I don't want to hear, they don't know you like I do Even I could've told you But now we're done 'Cause you play me like a symphony Play me till your fingers bleed I'm your greatest masterpiece You ruin me Later when the curtains drawn And no one's there for you back home Don't cry to me, you played me wrong You ruin me I know you thought That I wouldn't notice You were acting so strange I'm not that dumb And in the end I hope she was worth it I don't care if you loved me, you make me numb 'Cause you play me like a symphony Play me till your fingers bleed I'm your greatest masterpiece You ruin me Later when the curtains drawn And no one's there for you back home Don't cry to me, you played me wrong You ruin me We're that song you wouldn't sing Just a broken melody You're killing me You play me like a symphony Play me till your fingers bleed I'm your greatest masterpiece You ruin me Later when the curtains drawn And no one's there for you back home Don't cry to me you played me wrong You ruin me Written by: Lisa Origliasso, Antonio Francesco Egizii, Jessica Origliasso, David Nicholas Musumeci
