Something Real - Salvador Sobral

My mama said «You can’t sing»

My daddy said «You just stand still»

Well my grandma told me I got the swing

'Cause she couldn’t hear a single thing

I decided not to care

I decided to go my way

Packed my bags and left

Aiming only for the best

So I heard that singing

Real fast is the key

To be a good singer

To have it in me

Although fast notes are quite fun

They don’t make that warm feeling flow

How should any melody be sung

To make you get the chills from head to toe

So I heard that singing

Real slow is what’s hard

It’s what made Sinatra

Shine in the dark

It’s what made Chet Baker

Reach over the sea

And it’s what will make a good singer of me

The slow thing worked for a while

But I felt the need for something more

So I tried changing my style

'Cause singing slow was such a bore

So after the journey

To find my own voice

I learned that the secret

Was just to enjoy

To sing with my heart

And leave reason behind

To forget my body

And loosen my mind

So after the journey

To find my own voice

I learned that the secret

Was just to enjoy

To sing with my heart

And leave reason behind

To forget my body

And loosen my mind

Loosen my mind
