Kovacs - Mama & Papa Lyrics






I have prayed, I have prayed 'til you're gone
When I pray, I found your God or so I thought

You told me "Let go, he will never come home"
So I've been running, I've been running, I've been running on my own

Mama, mama, when I was born
Where was daddy and why did he go?
Was he no good to you, mama?
Did he have a different agenda? Oh
Mama, mama, do we look alike?
Do you see him when I squeese my eyes?
What does it do to you, mama?
Do I remind you of papa? Oh

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done praying
You've got much stronger than me, oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were going to church
When you were going to church

I have sinned, I have sinned to your God
And when I sinn, I found my God, or so I thought

I had to let go, I don't wanna go home
And I keep running, keep running, keep running on my own

Mama, mama, when I was born
Where was daddy and why did he go?
Was he no good to you, mama?
Did he have a different agenda? Oh
Mama, mama, do we look alike?
Do you see him when I squeese my eyes?
What does it do to you, mama?
Do I remind you of papa? Oh

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done praying
You've got much stronger than me, oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were going to chur- hmm

Prai- praise the lord (ho, ho)
Oh, hallelujah (ho, ho)
Hallelujah, oh, hallelujah (ho, ho)
Ho, amen (ho, ho)

Mama, mama, when I was born
Papa wondered, he left us alone
He was no good to you, mama
He had a higher agenda, ho
Mama, mama, we look alike
But don't you see, you wanna squeese my eyes
It means nothing to mama
I got my mind out of poppa, oh

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done praying
You've got much stronger than me, oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were going to chur-

Praise the lord
Amen

    I grew up in a broken family as well.
    My father left us and married to another women.
    My mom struggled to rise up me and my sister.

    It was a terrible thing for me.

    Новое европейское джазовое открытие, голландская певица и автор песен Шэрон Ковакс родилась 15 апреля 1990 года в Эйндховене и начала петь раньше, чем говорить. Музыке в детстве она не училась и даже бросила основную школу, чтобы пойти работать. Но пение для нее всегда было на первом плане. Она слушала много разных исполнителей – Билли Холидей, Этту Джеймс, Нину Симон, Эллу Фитцджеральд, Дину Вашингтон, Тину Тернер и Дженис Джоплин, как говорит сама Шарон, «я слушала певиц-личностей, тех, кто действительно жил свою жизнь и чьи эмоции слышны в их голосах».
    Работая официанткой в одном из баров, она однажды приняла участие в вокальном конкурсе «Открытый микрофон» и сорвала овации, а после этого последовала добрым советам и пошла на прослушивание в Rock City при музыкальной школе в родном городе. И была принята в число студентов, исполнив пару песен своим темным проникновенным голосом.
    Затем было знакомство с продюсером Оскаром Холлеманом, который получил от нее через интернет образцы раннего творчества и был поражен глубиной ее «черного» голоса: "Обычно я не слушаю такие вещи, но от скуки послушал и был завербован этим голосом. Когда я встретил ее, она выглядела совершенно иначе, чем я себе представлял. Хотя ее голос звучит невероятно «черно», она - белая девочка с бритой головой. Я был полностью очарован, и поэтому мы начали сотрудничать". В дополнение к их сессиям в Голландии Ковакс совершила путешествие в Гавану (Куба) и сотрудничала с местными музыкантами в Egrem Studios, и эта работа повлияла на окраску некоторых вещей с дебютного альбома, где слышны кубинские ритмы.
    Не без трудностей Шарон закончила музыкальное образование, так как ее устоявшаяся манера пения создавала для педагогов определенные трудности. Они не знали, что с ней делать и даже советовали уйти и поискать более подходящее занятие вне стен учебного заведения. Однако упорство Шарон, а также ее постоянные поиски самовыражения привели к определенным успехам. Сейчас в ее багаже есть достижения: ее сингл «My Love» достиг верхних позиций чартов в Голландии и Греции, а видео набрало более 13 млн просмотров на Ютубе. Она участвовала в нескольких джазовых фестивалях, в том числе Eurosonic Festival в Грингине и Ziggodome в Амстердаме, и Bospop and North Sea Jazz Festivals.
    Первый альбом Шэрон Ковакс – "Shades of Black" (Оттенки черного), дата релиза 24.04.2015, лейбл Warner Music Group Germany GmbH.

    The angrier you get, the better you sing... Maybe a curse for you, but a bliss for us...

    Niettemin dat ik hier nog wat aan moet wennen , (50 shades of black was fenomenaal , moeilijk te overtreffen !) ben je een geweldige artieste met een zeer herkenbare eigen stijl. Top , groeten uit Friesland 😎
