against all odds

take a look at me now olarakda bilinen phil collins şarkısı...

mariah carey ablamızın içine mıçtığı esasen hos olabilen sarki.

bir cumartesi akşam üstünde kadıköy den karaköy e geçerken geminin teras katında nescafeyi yudumlayarak dinlenirse insanı daha bir kendinden alan aşırı duygusal şarkı.

turkcesi "butun engellere ragmen".

(bkz: what are the odds)

başollerde rachel ward ve jeff bridgesi gördüğümüz 1984 yapımı bir aşk-meşk filmi. james woods da arada bir görünüyordu.

Şu ana kadar yapılmış en başarılı, en harika Phil Collins şarkılarından. Sözleri harikadır, piyano harikadır, bateri girişleri harikadır...

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you,
well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now

insanı anılarına götüren, o "birlikte paylaşılan zamanları" hatırlatan, insanın hayatını bir film şeridi gibi gözünün önünden geçmesini sağlayan, çok güzel sözlere sahip şarkıdır. "even shared the tears" kısmı can alıcıdır ve acıtıcıdır. phil collins de çok güzel seslendirmiştir, ses rengi şarkıya oturmuştur. eski şarkıların çok daha güzel olduğunu ispatlayan parçalardandır.

aynı isimli filmin müziğidir. phil collins söyler.

tupac'a ait bir diss'tir aynı zamanda.

tupac'ın jay z, nas, biggie, puff, mobb deep ve bilumum doğu yakası rapçilerini disslediği şarkı. this little nigga named nas thinks he live like me
talkin bout he left the hospital took five like me sözleriyle nas'ın taklitçiliğini gözler önüne sermiş ve şarkının kalan kısmında ayar üstüne ayar vermiştir. sözleri şöyledir... one love, one love, one thug
one nation, twenty-one gun salute

disappeared in the crowd, all you seen was troops
this little nigga named nas thinks he live like me
talkin bout he left the hospital took five like me
you living fantasies, nigga i reject your deposit
we shook dre punk ass, now we out of the closet
mobb deep wonder why nigga blowed them out

a real live tale about a snitch named haitian jack
knew he was workin for the feds, same crime, different trials

promised a payback, jimmy henchman, in due time
i know you bitch niggas is listenin, the world is mine
set me up, wet me up, niggas stuck me up
heard the guns bust but you tricks never shut me up
touch one of mine on everything i own
i'll destroy everything you touch, play the game nigga
all out warfare, eye for eye

puffy gettin robbed like a bitch, to hide the fact
he did some shit he shouldn't have did, so we ride em for that
and that nigga that was down for me, restin dead
switch sides, guess his new friends wanted him dead
probably be murdered for the shit that i said
i bring the real, be a legend, breathin the dead
lord listen to me
god don't like ugly, it was written
(ey yo nas) nas, your whole damn style is bitten
you heard my melody, read about my life in the papers
all my run-ins with authorities, felonious capers
now you wanna live my life, so what's the answer nas?
niggas that don't rhyme right, you've seen too many movies
load em up against the wall, close his eyes
since you lie you die, goodbye
let the real live niggas hear the truth from me
what would you do if you was me nigga

against all odds
i'm hopin my true motherfuckers know
this be the realest shit i ever wrote
against all odds, up in the studio, gettin blowed
to the truest shit i ever spoke
[repeat]

against all odds
[twenty-one gun salute]
one love to my true thug niggas (outlaw! outlaw! outlaw!)
twenty-one gun salute to my niggas that die in the line of duty
representin to the fullest bein soldiers with military minds
that play the rules of the game, twenty-one gun salute
i salute you my niggas, stay strong
i ride for you, i rhyme for you, i roll for you, it's all for you
to all you bitch made niggas, i'm comin for you
against all odds, i don't care who the fuck you is, nigga
