Always on My Mind
Wayne Carson Thompson, John Jr. Christopher, Mark James
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me,
One more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied
Little things that I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me,
One more chance to keep you satisfied
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely lonely times
I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you're mine
A Eterna Presença do Arrependimento em Always On My Mind dos Pet Shop Boys
A música 'Always On My Mind', interpretada pelos Pet Shop Boys, é uma versão synth-pop de um clássico que já foi cantado por diversos artistas, incluindo Elvis Presley e Willie Nelson. A versão dos Pet Shop Boys, lançada em 1987, se destaca por sua roupagem eletrônica e estética dos anos 80, mas mantém a essência emocional da letra original. A canção fala sobre arrependimento e a constante lembrança de um amor que talvez não tenha sido valorizado como deveria.
A letra é um monólogo interno de alguém que reconhece seus erros em um relacionamento passado. O eu lírico admite que poderia ter tratado melhor a pessoa amada, expressado mais seu amor e valorizado os pequenos momentos. A repetição do verso 'You were always on my mind' (Você estava sempre em minha mente) sugere uma obsessão, uma constante reflexão sobre o que foi perdido e o desejo de ter agido de maneira diferente. Essa confissão é carregada de uma melancolia que é amplificada pela melodia sintetizada e pelo ritmo marcante da versão dos Pet Shop Boys.
A música também explora a esperança de redenção e a busca por uma segunda chance. O eu lírico pede que o amor que sente não seja esquecido e que lhe seja dada mais uma oportunidade para provar seu valor e manter a pessoa amada satisfeita. Essa súplica por uma nova chance reflete um desejo universal de corrigir erros e melhorar como parceiro em um relacionamento. 'Always On My Mind' é um hino ao arrependimento e à persistência do amor, mesmo diante das falhas humanas, e continua a ressoar com ouvintes de todas as gerações por sua honestidade emocional e melodia cativante.
