Ho pensato a una canzoncina spensierata che facesse venire allegria a partire dal titolo e così la scelta è ricaduta su “Smile” (2006), il singolo d’esordio di Lily Allen, scritto da lei stessa, Iyiola Babalola e Darren Lewis.

Il video di Smile diretto da Sophie Muller mostra la cantante prendersi una vendetta sull’ex-fidanzato che l’aveva tradita, in diverse maniere. E parla di come lei è riuscita ad andare avanti, appunto col sorriso 😀

#lilyallen #smile #2006

When you first left me, I was wanting more
But you were fucking that girl next door
What’cha do that for?
When you first left me
I didnt know what to say
I’ve never been on my own that way
Just sat by myself all day
I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found the light in the tunnel at the end
Now you’re calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it’s only because you are feeling alone
At first when I see you cry
It makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
Whenever you see me
You say that you want me back
And I tell you it don’t mean jack
No it don’t mean jack
I couldn’t stop laughing
No, I just couldn’t help myself
See, you messed up my mental health
I was quite unwell
I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found the light in the tunnel at the end
Now you’re calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it’s only because you’re feeling alone
At first when I see you cry
It makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
At first when I see you cry
It makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
At first when I see you cry
It makes me smile
Yeah it makes me smile
At worst I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
