Shoulda Been Simple


A couple months ago I’ve stumbled on a song of Marie Digby called “Feel”, from the first note I was already sold by her voice and music. So I decided to buy her album “Breathing Underwater”, it took me 1.5 months before I had it. The supplier didn’t had the Japanese version (which is not much difference from the English one except 3 songs more and the album art printing is in Japanese) in stock so I had to wait. And I must admit it surely was worth waiting for. I’ve been listening to the album everywhere I go, in the car, mp3 player, at home, …

You surely can tell the album is created with heart, with emotions, with quality that you don’t get from artist nowadays. Let me first introduce you who Marie Digby is by asking you to check out her wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari%C3%A9_Digby.
Right…. were you really thinking that I was going to tell you her whole biography… too lazy for that :P
Ok now you know who she is, lets check out a song from her which I pretty like :P

Shoulda Been Simple
Artist: Marie Digby

Had every word prepared
Wasn’t even scared
Rehearsed the scene a million times and still felt no where
You were just down the hall
Not knowing at all
What was about to happen when I laid it on the line

‘Cause it’s written on my face
Though you see it in my eyes
How do you tell someone you love
What’s gonna hurt
Don’t wanna hurt

So when I’m too long
And telling you what’s wrong
I tryed and couldn’t bring myself
(It shoulda been simple)
So many times I’ve tryed
The time was never right
It was so complicated
(It shoulda been simple)

Oh-oh oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
[X2]

There’s no time for fear
visions kinda happen
No matter how this ends today, I wanna leave here as friends
It’s not that I don’t love you (Don’t love you)
Don’t think that I don’t care (Don’t care)
We were trying to fly a plane, the wings were just not there

And it’s written on my face
Though you see it in my eyes
How do you tell someone you love
What’s gonna hurt
What’s gonna hurt

So when I’m too long
And telling you, “Be strong.”
I tryed and couldn’t bring myself
(It shoulda been simple)
So many times I’ve tryed
The time was never right
It was so complicated
(It shoulda been simple)

Oh-oh oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
(It shoulda been simple)
[X2]

Remember the day that we said that we wouldn’t change
We changed
‘Cause nothing’s the same anymore since that day
That day

Shoulda been, Shoulda been, Shoulda been
(Shoulda been, Shoulda been)
[X4]

Shoulda been, Shoulda been, Shoulda been
(Oh-oh)
[X2]
