I heard this song the other day on the radio, and I loved this singer’s voice. It was like a mix of Sarah Maclaughlin (whose name I don’t think I can spell) and Colbie Caillat. After I heard this song, the singer performed on Ellen. The singer’s name is Leona Lewis and the song is called Bleeding Love. I love this song for the rhythm and also because it shows both sides of love, even as she says she won’t listen to everybody and she’s happy to fall in love… the fact is that she is saying she’s “bleeding” love. This song uses really graphic images and also just simple feelings that everyone goes through and will be able to relate with. This creates depth within the song, without being confusing or sounding like a “this is what I’m going through,” kind of song. It allows the listener to understand the feeling through the metaphors in the lyrics. Here are the lyrics if you wanna check it out…

LEONA LEWIS- BLEEDING LOVE

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see
