David Ramirez – I Am On Your Side

david_ramirez_press_1 (1)Eén van mijn favoriete songs van dit moment is I Am On Your Side van de Amerikaanse singer/songwriter David Ramirez. Met een prachtige en persoonlijke tekst en heel intens gezongen, waardoor het echt binnenkomt bij me. Het lied komt van zijn laatste album Fables (2015), waar meer prachtige nummers op staan, zoals New Way Of Living, Rock And A Hard Place en Ball And Chain.

david ramirezI Am On Your Side
Don’t leave the house,
we’re only getting started.
I open my mouth a little too soon.
Blame it on the spotlight,
blame it on the stage.
Sometimes I forget
there are other people in the room.

So when you look at my face,
do you see the enemy?
Someone dark, selfish, and unkind?
Can you hear my heart,
and believe it when I say.

I am on your side.
I am on your side.
I’ll never question you for an alibi.
I am on your side.

So why are you shaking?
We’re only getting started.
And why aren’t you looking
me in the eye.
Some men are monsters,
some men are children.
But some men
just wanna help you survive.

So, when you look at my face,
do you see the enemy?
Someone dark, selfish, and unkind?
Can you hear my heart,
and believe it when I say.

I am on your side.
I am on your side.
I’ll never question you for an alibi.
I am on your side.
