You Have Been Loved

One night I was lying in bed with my headphones on enjoying listening to various songs in Spotify when this song came on. I listened to the sultry trumpet intro and guitar sounds and I thought to myself, “very George Michael-ish”. Then, he started singing...boom! Nailed it.
It it was a beautiful song. The song was written about pain, love, suffering, life - George’s love at the time; (Anselmo Feleppa) and Anselmo’s mother (the ‘she’ in this song). Very touching and wonderful to listen to.
Lyrics
She takes the back road and the lane Past the school that has not changed In all this time
She thinks of when the boy was young All the battles she had won Just to give him life
That man She loved that man For all his life
But now we meet to take him flowers And only God knows why
For what's the use in pressing palms When children fade in mother's arms
It's a cruel world, we've so much to lose And what we have to learn, we rarely choose
So if it's God who took her son He cannot be the one living in her mind
Take care my love, she said Don't think that God is dead Take care my love, she said
You have been loved
If I was weak, forgive me But I was terrified You brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of love The kind that makes devils cry
So these days My life has changed And I'll be fine (and I'll be fine)
But she just sits and counts the hours Searching for her crime
So what's the use in pressing palms If you won't keep such love from harm It's a cruel world, you've so much to prove And heaven help the ones who wait for you
No, I've no daughters, I've no sons Guess I'm the only one Living in my life
Take care my love, he said Don't think that God is dead Take care my love, he said
You have been loved
