I’ve been biding my time,
Been so subtly kind,
I got to think so selfishly,
‘cos you’re the face inside of me.

I’ve been biding my days,
U see evidently it pays,
I’ve been a friend,
With unbiased views,
Then secretly lust after you.

So now you feel rusty
You’re bored and bemused.

You wanna do someone else,
So you should be by yourself,
Instead of here with me.

Secretly.

Trying hard to think pure,
Bloody hard when i’m raw,
You’re talking out so sexually,
About boys ‘n girls and your friggin’ dreams.

So now you feel lusty,
You’re hot and confused.

You wanna do someone else,
So you should be by yourself,
Instead of here with me.

Secretly.

So now you’ve been busted,
You’re caught feeling used.

You had to do someone else,
You should’ve been by yourself.

You had to do someone else,
You should’ve been by yourself,
Instead of here with me.

Secretly,

Secretly.

Sono già passati 10 anni dall’estate del ‘99… e dall’uscita dell’album Post Orgasmic Chill… di cui questa Secretly fa parte… anzi diciamo che questo brano è la punta di diamante di un album splendido.

Rileggendo il testo mi vengono in mente due pensieri:

1. essere sè stessi paga sempre
2. le verità, prima o poi, vengono sempre a galla

Dite che anche Skin pensasse alle stesse cose?

The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I’d meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you

No, I don’t want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don’t want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I don’t wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
And I don’t want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]

{World} was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I’d love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you

No I don’t wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No I don’t wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

Nobody loves no one

Questa canzone di Isaak, uscita nei primi anni novanta, è stata il suo più grande successo. E’ un brano che descrive gli indelebili segni a cui l’innamoramento può portare.
Il video, pieno di passione e sensualità, è semplicemente favoloso; non per niente è ricordato come uno dei più sexy di sempre.
Per i più curiosi: lei è la top model Helena Christensen.
