H AJJA S ALESJANA The Music Box Riflessjonijiet fuq siltiet muΩikali mill-Editur 30 You learnt my love You hit the target You get that rush And then you walk out that door You kept me small That’s what you wanted I never noticed. You held my hand Into the darkness I didn’t care it made me just want you more. My God your love it seemed so harmless! I never noticed. And I hate that you’re gone And I hate that I don’t want to let you go. And I hate that you think that I’m weak ‘cause I don’t want to let you know. I’m gonna build castles from the rubble of your love, from the rubble of your love. I’ m gonna be more than you ever thought I was, you ever thought I was. Each time you left there was a hunger I felt so dead I couldn’t take anymore. Losing your love it left me stronger. I never noticed. ... Hawn g˙andna diska riçenti minn kantanta kapaçi li twassal messa©© qawwi bil-lirika tad- diska tag˙ha. Minbarra l-melodija tal-widna li g˙andha din id-diska u l-abbiltà tal-kantanta li tinterpreta din il-kanzunetta, laqatni ˙afna l-versett li bdiet tkanta regolarment: ‘I’m gonna build castles from the rubble of your love, from the rubble of your love. I’m gonna be more than you ever thought I was, you ever thought I was.’ Fl-a˙˙ar imbag˙ad iΩΩid kelma li tg˙aqqad kollox meta fir-ritornell tal-a˙˙ar tistqarr: ‘I’m gonna be stronger than you ever thought I was.’ Na˙seb li kollha kemm a˙na b˙ala persuni g˙addejna minn relazzjonijiet li ˙sibnihom ta’ ©id g˙alina iΩda fl-a˙˙ar mill-a˙˙ar g˙arafna li kienu qed iΩommuna mxekkla u ma kinux qed i˙alluna nikbru f’ persuni s˙a˙ kif suppost. G˙arafna li g˙amlulna l-˙sara fl-a˙˙ar mill- a˙˙ar. F’ çirkustanzi iebsa b˙al dawn, g˙andna l-g˙aΩla li jew nibku xortina, jew nikbru minn din l-esperjenza qarsa. G˙alhekk, laqatni ˙afna l-kliem tar-ritornell ta’ din il-kanzunetta g˙ax Freya tg˙id li mill-©ebel li ©©arraf tar-relazzjoni sabi˙a li ˙asbet li kellha, hi ser ttella’ kastell g˙ax ser tkun iktar b’ sa˙˙itha minn dan li g˙addiet minnu u iktar milli qatt ˙asbet il- persuna li we©©g˙etha. A˙na g˙andna l-istess g˙aΩla – nitkissru u ni©©arrfu jew ninbnew u nissa˙˙u minn dak li ng˙addu minnu? L-g˙aΩla hi f’ idejna u daqstant ie˙or ir-riΩultat a˙˙ari!
