Houve uma altura da minha vida em que ouvi este álbum e esta música em particular e pensei se se iria concretizar esta espécie de profecia relativamente a uma pessoa. A música era tão simples e agradável, quanto complicada e intensamente dramática... mas sabia bem ouvir e dava uma certa felicidade, em conjunto com todo o álbum. Qualquer fosse o destino tudo estaria bem. O destino foi que o final da canção concretizou-se. É curioso quando ouvimos uma canção e pensamos se o nosso destino, ou de uma determinada relação, será aquele... não sabemos. Ficamos na dúvida. Quando se cumpre, ouvimos a música de forma diferente. Parece que ela acompanhou um processo, uma certa transição da nossa vida.
Ben Harper - Breakin' Down
You don't believe that I love you.
And even if that was true, why just to keep our unhappy home.
I'm gonna try to pretend that I do but (now), I'm breaking down.
I'm breakin' down.
I'm breakin' down.
I'm breakin' down.
My baby, she left me, said she ain't coming back around.
And I'm breaking down.
Oh- I'm breaking down.
And if I thought that it was okay for a grown man to cry, I would have filled up the whole mighty ocean when she said goodbye.
And I'm breakin' down.
Oh I'm breakin' down.
I'm breakin' down.
Oh- Oh- Oh- I'm breakin' down.
You know, my baby, she left me, said she ain't coming back around.
And I'm breaking down.
Oh- one day you said everything was just right.
I don't see how,
I don't see how it changed overnight.
One day you said everything was so strong, the next day you turn to me and say it's been wrong all along.
Oh, one day you said everything was just right.
I don't see how it changed overnight.
One day you said everything was so strong and the next day you say it's been wrong all along.
Oh, and now you won't even look at me.
You pass me by in the street and you won't even speak.
I never, I never, I never meant to cause you any harm.
How could two people start so close and end up so far.
(I'm) Breaking down.
Oh, I'm breaking down.
I'm breakin'
I'm breakin'
I'm breakin'
I'm breakin' down.
I'm breakin' down.
