More Than Words - Extreme

Aceasta e melodia mea preferata de mai bine de 10 ani (mama ce invechit suna :)) Aveam 14 ani cand am descoperit-o si m-am indragostit de ea.



Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos Id already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

More Than Words

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"More Than Words" is a song originally performed by the band Extreme . A song built around intricate acoustic guitar work by Nuno Bettencourt and the vocals of Gary Cherone (with harmony vocals from Bettencourt), it was released on August 7th, 1990 on the album Extreme II: Pornograffiti. The song was a departure from the funk metal that had permeated the band's style previous to its release. On March 23, 1991, "More Than Words" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 81 and soon after reached the number one. Though they had made a few European charts before, this brought the band to their first mainstream success in the United States. Extreme followed "More Than Words" with another power ballad, "Hole-Hearted," which was slightly faster paced than "More Than Words," but nevertheless topped at number 4 in the United States.

Even years after its release, "More Than Words" has retained popularity as a romantic ballad. Cover versions of "More Than Words" include:

• BBMak in 1999-2000, on their first debut album, released in Asia in 1999, and as a b-side in 1999 from United Kingdom 'Back here' single.
• Westlife in 1999, on their first album, Westlife
• Walters & Kazha in 2005, as a live performance
• Frankie J in 2005, as a single

The song itself asks the person to whom it is addressed to show love through "more than words." Given its context as a song on Pornograffitti, a concept album about a decadent and corrupt society, it could be interpreted as a cynical plea for sex, though most listeners interpret it as being about emotional intimacy.

The video for "More Than Words" was parodied by Weird Al Yankovic for his original song, "You Don't Love Me Anymore." Also Amateur Transplants wrote a comedic song to the same tune as "More Than Words" entitled "Northern Birds" which may be found on their 2006 album "We Are So Bad"
