A song with such a soft melody, sung with such a touching voice, could only speak of love. But, in fact, there is not even a mention of that feeling in her. The singer says that Shape of My Heart it’s about “a card player who doesn’t play to win but to unravel the principle of luck, trying to find logic in card games”.

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that’s not the shape of my heart.

3. The Beatles — Hey Jude

I know what you’re feeling, but time passes and it will get easier for you”.

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad Take a sad song and make it better Remember to let her into your heart Then you can start to make it better. Hey Jude, don’t make it worse Pick a sad song and make it better Remember to let her into your heart So you can start to get better.
