Biografia
|
Katie Melua nasceu Ketevan Melua em 1984, na Georgia. Com oito anos parte para a Irlanda devido à guerra civil que assolava a ex-república Soviética, para aos catorze anos fixar-se em Inglaterra onde ainda vive. Actualmente, Melua fala três línguas: georgiano, russo e inglês.
A sua carreira artística começa em 2000, quando participa no concurso televisivo "Stars Up Their Noses" do qual sai vencedora com a sua interpretação de 'Without You', dos Badfinger. Mais tarde estuda música na BRIT School for the Performing Arts. Por esta altura, quando já compunha as suas próprias canções, conheceu aquele que viria a ser o seu futuro manager, Mike Batt, e também o seu namorado, Luke Pritchard, dos The Kooks.
Em 2003 assina com a editora Dramatico e trabalha com um conjunto de artistas onde se incluia Randy Newman, na preparação dos temas que viriam a fazer parte do seu álbum de estreia "Call Off The Search", editado em Novembro daquele ano. O registo atinge o primeiro lugar do top britânico de vendas em Janeiro de 2004, ajudado pelo sucesso de singles como 'The Closest Thing to Crazy' e o tema título 'Call Off The Search'.
A sonoridade de Melua, que canta e toca guitarra, conquista admiradores daquele registo entre o jazz, o blues e o pop, confirmando a jovem compositora como uma das revelações da música britânica de 2004. Um ano depois chega o segundo álbum, "Piece by Piece".
Adepta das actividades radicais, já fez salto em queda livre e teve lições de voo, Melua instituiu um recorde no Livro do Guinness, ao dar o concerto mais profundo de sempre, a 303 metros abaixo do nível da água, numa plataforma de petróleo no Mar do Norte em 2006.
O terceiro registo da britânica chega em 2007 com o título "Pictures", por ser em grande parte uma homenagem ao cinema, mundo onde Melua também já entrou, com uma pequena participação num falso trailer para o filme "Grindhouse".

The bit that I don't get
It's how it changed so fast
How it changed from we will always be together
To it will never last.
The writing on the wall
I hadn't seen it yet
When you told me you were tired of it all
That's the bit that I don't get.
So call me a fool
I do!
But no longer the fool beside you
And I'm learning from the pain
Won't be doing that again!
The bit that I don't get
It's how it changed so fast
How it changed from we will always be together
To it will never last.
The writing on the wall
I hadn't seen it yet
When you told me you were tired of it all
That's the bit that I don't get!
People break up everyday
But I never thought
I would wake up to hear you say
Forever now means never!
The bit that I don't get
It's how it changed so fast
How it changed from we will always be together
To it will never last.
The writing on the wall
I hadn't seen it yet
When you told me you were tired of it all
That's the bit that I don't get!
I used to dream myself to somewhere else each night
I dreamed in colour, cause I lived in black and white.
Until I chanced upon this road that led to you, I could not see
How anything could be
Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation,
It's better than a dream.
Higher than the moon,
Hazy like a beautiful illusion.
Crazy and in confusion,
And better than a dream.
I used to wish I was beyond some distant door,
I knew there must be more to life, and now I'm sure.
No dreams of pirate caves, or Indian braves, or magic carpets could
Ever be this good,
Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation,
It's better than a dream.
Higher than the moon,
Hazy like a beautiful illusion.
Crazy and in confusion,
And better than a dream.
And better than a dream.
Broken people get recycled
And I hope that I will.
Sometimes we're thrown off our pathways
What I thought was my way home
Wasn't the place I know
I'm certain nothing's certain
What we own becomes our prison
My possessions will be gone
Back to where they came from
Blame, no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the Flood again
See the rock that you hold onto
Is it gonna save you
When the earth begins to crumble?
Why d'you feel you have to hold on?
Imagine if you let go
Blame, no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the Flood again
Wash away the weight that pulls you down
Ride the waves that free you from the dusk?
Don't trust your eyes
Its easy to believe them
Know in your heart
That you can leave your prison
Don't trust your mind
It's not always listening
Turn on the lights
And feel the ancient rhythm
Don't trust your eyes
Its easy to believe them
Know in your heart
That you can leave your prison
Blame, no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the Flood again
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
Marching home and no one's touching
Army of the city workers
Secretaries, lawyers, brokers
Heading for a London station
Heading for a quick salvation
Oblivious to cherry cola
Trying to sell to every stranger
Stuck here it's cold I'm 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
Trapped feelings are never ending
Send those weaknesses descending
Towards the earth's red centre
Let the fire rise and enter
Tap into the primal power
Rising like a giant tower
The energy receiving
Cut a hole right through the ceiling
People getting smaller as you fly
I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy place
(I'm gonna find a happy place) A happy Place
(I'm gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I'm gonna find a happy place) A happy place
Find a star, send down a beam to where you are
An elevator of light taking you somewhere
Where you'll always be loved
I have found that stress and nonsense
Puts me in zone of avoidance
Could my mind be moving faster
Pulling like a super cluster
Can be hard to trust a feeling
But believing ends in seeing
We're going to find a happy
We're going to find a happy
We're going to find a happy place
(I'm gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I'm gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I'm gonna find a happy place) A happy place
You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
But others pass, the never pause,
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why
I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
I'll cross the sea for a different world,
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met,
They may not know
how much you meant to me.
I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
Without you now I see,
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay.
I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper
How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
[CHORUS:]
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own...
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?
[CHORUS]
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.
We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.
I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say
There are six BILLION people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all
[INTERLUDE]
We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!
They say the world must end somehow,
They say the end's not far from now;
I think they're wrong,
Don't worry your life away,
Start living for today,
Don't think about tomorrow.
And if the lights go out on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.
Well I'm gonna try for all I'm worth,
To stay with you till the end of the earth.
Don't let me down,
Don't let your feelings win.
Don't give out, and don't give in,
Don't think about tomorrow.
Cause if the lights go out on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.
And if the lights go out on all of us,
In just a year or two.
And if the sky falls down like pouring rain,
Then I'll be here with you.
I'll go down with you.
I'll go down with you
If a black man is racist, is it okay?
When it's the white man's racism that made him that way,
Because the bully's the victim they say,
By some sense they're all the same.
Because the line between,
Wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread,
From a spider's web.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
I could tell you to go to war,
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more,
How do I know which is right,
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight.
Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
Should we act on a blame?
Or should we chase the moments away?
Should we live?
Should we give?
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time.
Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind
