Florence + The Machine, cover di Where Are U Now di Justin Bieber (Testo e audio)

Certe cose accadono solo in Inghilterra, non c’è altro modo per dirlo. O meglio, solo negli show radiofonici inglesi. Florence Welch di Florence + The Machine, ospite della trasmissione BBC 1 Live Lounge, si è lanciata in una riuscitissima cover di Where Are U Now di Skrillex, Diplo e Justin Bieber.

Non, non abbiamo scritto male.

Florence Welch ha ricantato Justin Bieber, un brano che non ci saremmo mai aspettati dalla regina dai capelli rossi consacrata definitivamente da Glastonbury. Where Are U Now è il singolo che Justin Bieber ha registrato con Diplo e Skrillex per il progetto Jack Ü, e che ha riempito le classifiche per diverso tempo. Un ritorno sotteso per la popstar canadese dopo le disavventure del 2014, fino all’omaggio plateale da parte di Florence Welch.

Che sulle cover, come ha mostrato di recente dedicando a Dave Grohl dei Foo Fighters proprio la sua Times Like These, ha decisamente che dire.

Florence + The Machine, Where Are U Now (cover Jack U feat. Justin Bieber): testo

I gave you the key when the door wasn’t open, just admit it
See, I gave you faith, turned your doubt into hoping, can’t deny it
Now I’m all alone and my joys turned to moping
Tell me, where are you now that I need you?
Where are you now?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Couldn’t find you anywhere
When you broke down I didn’t leave ya
I was by your side
So where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?

I gave you attention when nobody else was payin’
I gave you the shirt off my back, what you sayin’?
To keep you warm
I showed you the game everybody else was playin’, that’s for sure
And I was on my knees when nobody else was prayin’, oh Lord

Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you the most
