비욘세 Honesty

비욘세 Honesty

원곡은 1978년에 나온 Billy joel의 앨범이다.

원곡과는 다른 느낌의 비욘세의 Honesty. 서정적이면서도 잔잔한 분위기는

비슷하지만, 머랄까 비욘세 버전은 좀더 호소력이 짙어진 느낌이다.

원곡과의 시간차는 크지만 부르는 이들의 감정만큼은 비슷한 것 같다.

 

 

비욘세 - Honesty

 

 

If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love
You need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give

(Chorus)
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe

(Chorus)
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
I know, I know

When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
When you're the one that I depend upon

(Chorus)
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
