He’s back!
George Michael is back with a new album, Symphonica, dropping next month, and I couldn’t be more excited!
This is Michael’s sixth studio album, the first since 2004 and is said to be a mix of original songs and covers.
The first official track, Let her down easy is a Terence Trent D’Arby cover. Originally released in the early 90s, this touching ballad an emotional song about the delicacy of love, virginity and heartbreak, and in my humble opinion, Michael does a great job.
As a lifelong fan, Michael’s music always puts me in a good mood, brings me back to good memories and puts a smile on my face. I saw him in concert in 2008 in Toronto, and say what you will about the man, but he can still shake his ass!
I am looking forward to adding his new album to my collection!
Let Her Down Easy
By: George Michael
You’re top man on the scene
You don’t think life comes in between
But hey, she’s just seventeen
She feels that she’s a worldly girl
But man you’ve been around the world
She is just some worried daddy’s girl
Even though there’s nothing I can say
Its just human nature any way
Let her down easy
Her heart is on a dime
Let her down easy
And you’ll grow up in time
In her strawberry eyes
The way she sees you signifies
That she’s susceptible to your velvet lies
But if you must lay her down
May a butterscotch glow be her dressing gown
And please do not lead her on when you leave town
Even though there’s nothing I can say
Its just human nature any way
Let her down easy
Her heart is on the line
Let her down easy
And you’ll grow up in time
She’s a woman now
With a daughter to make her proud
In her crayon world of paper clouds
She still remembers you
The first boy that she gave it to
And she laughs at how little then she knew
Let her down easy
Her heart is on the line
Let her down easy
And you’ll grow up in time
Happy Monday!
