#TBT Musical (14) - Just Once by Quincy Jones feat James Ingram 🎶




Na Década de 80, as comédias teens sempre estiveram associadas à curiosidade e ao tabu do erotismo e da sexualidade, pois é na adolescência que a descoberta sobre o sexo e o início das primeiras experiências sexuais se tornam mais constantes na vida de um (pré)adolescente. É dentro desse universo que eu fui buscar o meu #TBT Musical dessa semana. 



Just Once, um hino romântico dos anos 80, fazia parte da trilha sonora do filme "O Último Americano Virgem" (1981), filme esse que eu assisti inúmeras vezes e faz parte da minha memória afetiva - Na época, eu também aprendi que nem nem sempre as histórias de amor terminam com um final feliz. 

Foi a partir disso que eu passei à apreciar o talento e os vocais desse excelente cantor Quincy Jones como também James Ingram




Grandes hinos nunca morrem e são atemporais, até quando retratam o desamor e finais não tão felizes assim: 


 I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay or head on out the door

Just once
Can we figure out what we keep doing wrong?!!!
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong?!!!

Just once
Can we find a way to finally make it right?!!!
Make the magic last for more than just one night
We could just get to it
Know we could break through it
H-m-m... h-m-m

I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing
Whatever we got going
And it seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer

Just once
Can we figure out what we keep doing wrong?!!!
Why the good times never last for long
Where are we going wrong?!!!

Just once
Can we find a way to finally make it right?!!!
Make the magic last for more than just one night
Know we could break through it

If we could just get to it just once
I want to understand
Why it always come back to goodbye
Why... can't we get ourselves in hand?!!!
And admit to one another
We're no good without the other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together

Just once
Can we find a way to finally make it right?!!!
Whoa
Make the magic last for more than just one night
Know we could break through it
If we could just get to it

Just once
Whoa
We can get through it
Just once...
