When I Get There
Amy Wadge, David Hodges
I think of you when I think about forever
I hear a joke and I know you would've told it better
I think of you out of the blue
When I'm watching a movie that you'd hate
You'd say it, you were never one to hesitate
You were always first in line
So why would it be different for Heaven?
But I got a couple questions
Is there a bar up there where you've got a favorite chair?
Where you sit with friends and talk about the weather?
Is there a place you go to watch the sunset
And, oh, is there a song you just can't wait to share?
Yeah, I know you'll tell me when I get there
Do you think of me? Do you wish that I would slow down?
Are there some things that you've seen that feel like home now?
Are you up there climbing trees, singing brand new melodies?
I hope you are, I know you are
Is there a bar up there where you've got a favorite chair?
Where you sit with friends and talk about the weather?
Is there a place you go to watch the sunset
And, oh, is there a song you just can't wait to share?
Yeah, I know (I know) you'll tell me when I get there
Yea-yeah, you'll tell me when I get there
Will you save me a place with all those pearls of wisdom?
Yeah, I'll make some mistakes and you'll watch me as I live them
'Til I'm through, 'til I'm with you
Is there a bar up there where you've got a favorite chair?
Where you sit with friends and talk about, talk about the weather?
Is there a place you go to watch the sunset
And, oh, is there a song you just can't wait to share?
Yeah, I know (I know) you'll tell me when I get there, yeah
I think of you when I think about forever
A Saudade e o Além em When I Get There de P!nk
A música When I Get There, interpretada pela artista P!nk, é uma reflexão emocionante sobre a perda e a saudade de alguém que já partiu. A letra revela um diálogo íntimo e imaginário com uma pessoa amada que faleceu, explorando a curiosidade sobre como seria a vida dessa pessoa no além. Através de perguntas poéticas, P!nk expressa o desejo de saber se o ente querido encontrou paz e felicidade em um possível paraíso.
As questões levantadas na canção, como a existência de um bar onde a pessoa teria um lugar favorito ou um local especial para assistir ao pôr do sol, são metáforas que humanizam o desconhecido e trazem conforto à ideia de morte. A repetição do refrão 'Yeah, I know you'll tell me when I get there' transmite uma esperança de reencontro e a crença de que, um dia, as respostas serão reveladas. A música toca em um tema universal, a conexão contínua que sentimos com aqueles que se foram e como suas memórias e influências permanecem conosco.
P!nk é conhecida por suas letras sinceras e performances poderosas, e When I Get There não é exceção. A canção é um exemplo de como a música pode ser um meio de processar o luto e manter viva a lembrança de quem amamos. Através de sua voz expressiva e da melodia tocante, P!nk convida os ouvintes a refletirem sobre suas próprias perdas e a encontrar consolo na ideia de que o amor transcende a barreira da morte.
I think of you when I think about forever
Penso em você quando penso em eternidade
I hear a joke and I know you would've told it better
Ouço uma piada e sei que você a teria contado melhor
I think of you out of the blue
Penso em você do nada
When I'm watching a movie that you'd hate
Quando estou assistindo a um filme que você odiaria
You'd say it, you were never one to hesitate
Você diria, você nunca foi de hesitar
You were always first in line
Você sempre estava em primeiro na fila
So why would it be different for Heaven?
Então, por que seria diferente para o céu?
But I got a couple questions
Mas eu tenho algumas perguntas
