Katie Melua - A Happy Place

1984 Sovyet hakimiyetindeki Gürcistan'da doğan Katie (aslında Ketevan) Melua, aslında çok klasik bir göçmen hikayesine sahip. Sovyetlerden kaçan doktor aile ile önce Batum'a sonra da İrlanda'ya yerleşen Ketie, son olarak taşındıkları Londra'da "İngiltere yeteneğini arıyor" tarzı bir programda birinci olarak parlıyor. Ve bir konservatuarda öğrenim hakkı kazanması, basının ilgisi vs. - bir kaç yılda 30 yaş altı milyarder şarkıcılar listesine bir güzel geçiyor. Hikaye klasik olabilir lakin sesi gerçekten kuvvetli ve bana -özellikle bu şarkıyı dinlediğimde Operadaki Hayalet müzikalini hatırlatıyor.

"A Happy Place" yani "Mutlu Bir Yer" mutluluğu bulunduğu çemberin dışında arayanlara gelsin.

Born 1984 in Soviet-Georgia, Katie (Ketevan) Melua has actually a pretty classic imigrant story. A family escaping from the civil war, first destination was Batumi, and than the Irland and than London the metropol. In London she attended one of those reality shows "UK looking for its Talent smt" and won the competition. After winning a eonservatoire education in this show, with the interest of the press etc. - she becomes one of the richest singers under the age of 30 in couple of years. The story is maybe a cliche but she does have a strong voice and especially when I listen to this song, I feel as I listen to the musical Phantom of the Opera.

So, this song "A Happy Place" comes to the ones who imagine that happiness somewhere out of the circle that we live in. Enjoy.


I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy place

Seven thousand eyes are watching
watching home and no ones touching
Army of the city workers secretarys lawyers brokers
heading for a london station
Hoping for a quick salvation
Oblivous to cherry cola
trying to sell to every stranger
stuck here its cold im standing
hoping for some understanding
only way to go is inside

I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy place

seven thousand light years travel
let my sense of time unravel
traffic is neverending
send those weaknesses decending
towards the upright centre
let the fire rise and enter
tap into the primal power
rising like a gaint tower
creating energy recieving
cut a hole right through the ceiling
people getting smaller as you fly

chorus-
bu bo ba ba
bu bo ba ba

find a star
send down a beam
to where you are
an elevator of life
taking you somwhere where you will always be
loved

I have found that stress and nonsense
puts me in a zone of avoidence
could my mind be moving faster
pulling like a super cluster
can be hard to trust a felling
bubbly and ends seeeeing

were going to find a happy
were going to find a happy + bo bu ba ba
were going to find a happy
a happy place
a happy place
a happy
