Sweet Memories
Gabi Knoll Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Losin' my breath, you take my words away
Pounds in my chest, my thoughts in disarray

Hold me I'm fallin', hold me I'm fallin'

My eyes won't dry, I'm seein' clear
For once, my life is in front of me
These shining lights, sweet memories
I want to let them go

They lend their hearts, while mine lays bleeding for
Bruises and scars, it's best to carry on

Hold me I'm fallin', hold me I'm fallin'

My eyes won't dry, I'm seein' clear
For once, my life is in front of me
These shining lights, sweet memories
I want to let them go

Fractured craving, words can't say
Waiting for you, save the day!
It's hope I'm holdin' on
Ooh...

My eyes won't dry, I'm seein' clear
For once, my life is in front of me




These shining lights, sweet memories
I want to let them go

Nagyon jó dal lett imádom és mindennap legalább egyszer mindenképp meghallgatom. Ezzel a dallal van esélyünk kint úgy érzem, habár még vannak előadóink akiknek a dalait még nem hallhattuk viszont eddig ez visz mindent ;)

@whiteswan94

Remélem sikert fog aratni ez a dal a műsorban.Neki kell mennie az Eurovízióra ez egyértelmű.Első hallásra megragadó és figyelemreméltó.

@GegeGtHun

A sok tehetségtelen bohóc meghallgatása után szerettem volna egy jót belerúgni ebbe a dalba és az előadójába is, de hirtelen megállt a levegőben a lábam. :D Ez a Knoll Gabi tud valamit, igazán kellemes, jó kis dalocska ez, tényleg bejön! Ha a refrént egy picit dinamikusabban, agresszívebben énekelné, akkor csillagos ötöst érdemelne, így ebben a formában "csak" sima ötös! :)  Hajrá, ezzel a dallal szerintem nem égnénk be Dániában.

Ismeretlen a médiában, és olyat produkál mint egy világsztár!
Akár nyerhet is. Gyönyörű a dal, a hang, a nő! Kiváncsian várom élőben, látvánnyal!

Egyáltalán nem értek egyet a zsűri pontjaival, és a "fapados" jelzővel... Ez a dal úgy fantasztikus Gabi hangjával ahogy van! <3

@gittakorpos5355
