This song is great for a long distance relationship right after an argument. After an argument its hard to tell where things will go. That type of relationship is the worse, everything hurts so much more even the good stuff. You have to try to trust that the person won't cheat on you or won't lie to you. You want to love them, but have a hard time just handing over your heart. Sometimes you want them to be right there with you so bad.
This verison. I swear to god. I work at Banana Republic, and every time Alicia's original version comes on... I always wish Robyn's would play instead.
Love the mixture of synth drum pad and real drums, and the synthesizers too. Very 80's sounds, love 'em to death. Robyn now is so much better than the Robyn from the late 90's, when she was making music to please her -lable- and not her, Show Me Love and Do You Know were alright songs, but they were just like everything else on radio at that time, the Mandy Moore's and the Christina's and the Brittany's, nothing striking. Glad she broke free of her restraint.
I have listened to this song over and over again. I think she did a great cover on the sing, making it her own. I absolutely love her voice. I got emotional on this one then on the original.
I just wanted to hear her hold a note and i disagree with you saying she makes every song hers she sang this song good but it will always be Alicia Keys that sang it better....
It's a pretty cool cover. It lacks warmth though. The beat already is pretty abstract for someone like Alicia Keys, but this sounds way way too abstract. Love Robyn regardless.
Ya know how sometimes you get in the shower, and a song like this is in your head, and you sing it, and it sounds great, and it wakes you up, makes you smile and makes your heart feel better? That's what Robyn is doing right here, just singing her favorite song in the shower. She's not trying to be Alicia Keys, she's loving music and singing her heart out.
I'm pretty sure Robyn is aware that Alicia wrote this song , so this cover is clearly a tribute to the beauty of this song AND to Alicia's songwriting abilities. Why is this even an issue?
@metamelody Alicia covered Coldplay when she performed for iheartradio. My guess is that all artists cover something on this "show", similar to the infamous Radio 1 Live Lounge gigs in the UK.
@Limingstar I am aware of who wrote the song. Alicia has written many songs, that she has NOT recorded and other artists have. Personally, I think Robyn's version is better. Maybe this is one of the songs written by Alicia, that Alicia should NOT have recorded. Thats all I am saying. :-)
i know that alicia writes songs for other artists, she's a singer/songwriter. but when you say "too bad she didnt get her hands on it first" you make it sound as if alicia wasn't known with the song and it somehow got to her. that's why i said she wrote it. we all have our opinions and i disagree with you. so let's agree to disagree.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE come the fuck down. don't talk shit ova the tube. cuz real talk, you would say it to my face. best believe that. oh and fuck you too.
@ThatwasTERRIBLE ain't nothing wrong wit being a faggot - but wtf is this, you talkin' shit ova the internet? ThatwasTERRIBLE? - Fall back. I bet all this was the best part of your day. ThiswasHILARIOUS!!!
Just as good as the original, but in a different way. I like the instrumental arrangement in this one the most though. I wish there was a similar version with Alicia's vocals. Would be cool if they did a collaboration someday. They're both amazing artists.
Alicia's version is definitive, but Robyn can hold her own in R&B and she's proven that more than once. I love this homage to Alicia. Do your thing Swegro.
@Badaboomboom19 :-) Call em like I see em Badaboom. See if you can find a song she did called "Frístil." It's in Swedish, but the girl is doing some SERIOUS hooks.
Better than the original
