Sade - Like a tattoo ( cover)

He told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth

Fourteen years, he said
I couldn't look into the Sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river

I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river

Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As I reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo

I appreciate you for making this video! This has to be one of the best videos ever made, not just on YT but anywhere. The way your voice sounds along with the guitar is amazing to me. Thank You!

[Equiliquid]

Very powerful deep soulful song, I love everyone who apreciates it 🩵

[immastranger]

Wow. Your voice is incredible, such resonance and depth despite being so soft and fragile. Your playing was incredible as well.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time for the ending.. my favorite part.

"I wear it like a tattoo-ooo-oooo"

You are beautiful along with that beautiful voice keep it up! Keep doing sade covers please !

[jaelynrochelle]

You covered this beautifully, I loved learning and playing/singing along with you. Thank you for sharing your talent! <3

I had to replay this a couple times, it’s so beautiful!!!

[pimpnorris]

Absolutely amazing Bella! I'm sure that Sade would be proud if she heard this. This song, ironically, is about what Sade learned from a man in a New York bar from his experiences in the Vietnam war, in particular, having to take another human life and the shame that comes with it, that it stays with you forever, like a tattoo. Being Ukrainian, I sure you can appreciate the lament of that man's soul brought to life by this ballad. God Bless!!

[qweqweewrweeaz]

thank you oh my god you actually gave the chord diagram and an amazing performance that other goofy dude took forever to explain it and took forever on a solo we didn’t even ask for. sorry I’m just so relieved rn to find a simple version lol again thank u so much

[cloudwayfarer]
