Bruno Mars ha apertamente rivelato i suoi imminenti progetti al grande pubblico, direttamente dal suo profilo Facebook con un semplice e chiaro messaggio:
“Now it’s time to start writing chapter 3. See you soon hooligans”
E’ quindi arrivato il momento, per il cantautore, di mettersi al lavoro su un terzo album. Attualmente, Mars è impegnato con le fasi finali della sua lunghissima serie di 154 concerti in tutto il mondo con il suo Moonshine Jungle Tour. Si chiuderà ufficialmente il prossimo mese con due date al The Cosmopolitan di Las Vegas. Alle sue spalle, nella sua carriera, il cantante ha inciso due album e venduto qualcosa come dodici milioni di copie.
Il terzo disco ha il difficile e impegnativo compito di confermare il grande successo (di pubblico e critica) ottenuto con il suo precedente Unorthodox Jukebox, in grado di sfornare singoli potenti come Locked Out of Heaven, When I Was Your Man e Treasure.
When I Was Your Man, lyrics
Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio, but it don’t sound the same
When our friends talk about you all that it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
And it all just sound like uh, uh, uh
Hmmm too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she’s dancing with another man.
My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like uh, uh, uh, uh
Too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand
Should have gave all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she’s dancing with another man.
Although it hurts I’ll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I’m probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours when he has the chance
Take you to every party cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done when I was your man!
Do all the things I should have done when I was your man!
