Eminem - When I'm Gone

Dit is een van de 3 nieuwe nummers die op zijn "greatest hits' album komen.
Het gaat over zijn relatie met zijn dochter en Kim (goh, iets nieuws..).

Eindelijk is er wel wat emotie te vinden in een nummer wat hij uitbrengt. Zeker geen slecht nummer.

Lyrics:

Yeh...
It's My Life...
The Only One I Guess...

[ Verse 1 ]

Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, No ... literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart and you know your are their armor
And you will destroy anyone who would try and harm her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you
What happens when you become the main source of a pain
Daddy look what I made, Dad's gotta go catch a plane
Daddy where's mummy? I can't find mummy where is she?
I don't know go play hayley baby, ya daddy's busy
Daddy's writing this song, this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one ???, then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
Then put hands of her mother who's a splitting image of her.
That's Slim Shady, Yeh baby Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight shady's rock-a-by baby

[ Chorus ] x2

And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I ain't gonna feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain just smile back

[ Verse 2 ]

I keep having this dream, I'm pushing Hayley on the swings
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
You're making mummy cry, Why? Why is mummy crying
Baby daddy ain't leaving no more, daddy you're lying
You always say that, you always say this is the last time
But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine
She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
Daddy please, daddy don't leave, daddy, noo stop it
Go's in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, It'll keep you safe daddy take it with ya
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These sinking walls must be talking cause man I can hear 'em.
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" and it's tonight
Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
And just as I go to walk out my bedroom door
It's turns to a stage, they're gone and this spotlight is on,
And I'm singing...

[ Chorus ]

[ Verse 3 ]

Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seats
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
The scream is so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
Daddy it's me, help mummy her wrists are bleeding
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden
I followed you daddy, you told me that you weren't leaving
You lied to me dad, and now you make mummy sad
And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
I get the point, fine me and mummy are going
But baby wait, It's too late dad you made the choice
Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us
That's what they want, they want you Marshall they keep screaming your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeh I bet you you will. You rap about it yeah, word, keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground
Put it to my brain and scream 'Die Shady!' and pump it
This ??? My life flashes
The plane what I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, A long hot spring and there's birds singing,
It's brilliant, Hayley's outside swinging, I walk up to Kim and kiss her.
Tell her I miss her
Hayley just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say...

[ Chorus ] x2

* Curtains Closing... *

Ik zal wel de eerste zijn, die het wat vind tegenvallen.
Het nummer gaf me het Been here, done that gevoel. Was Eminem niet die vernieuwende rapper met leuke komische invallen. Daar was hij erg goed in. De serieuze Eminem kan redelijk mee met de andere rappers maar valt wel door de mand...

Klopt, op zich is het een aardig nummer, maar het vernieuwende heb ik bij Eminem al 3 jaar niet meer gehoord/gezien.

Het is voorlopig zijn laatste nummer. Hij stopt met het 'slim shady' gebeuren en last een kleine pauze in om tijd met zn familie door te brengen. Hij stopt er echter niet definitief mee, het is echter de vraag hoelang het gaat duren voor zijn volgende album uitkomt (ik verwacht zelf over een jaar of 3/4)

bron?

Eminem zelf, in een interview gister met MTV

"Slim Shady" nummers heb ik al jaren niet meer gehoord, nummers als "Just the two of us", "As the world turns" "brain damage" "My fault" "Role model" definieerde ik als 'slim shady' nummers. Rommel als My Band, Just Lose it, FACK, Big weenie etc. liggen gewoon ver onder zijn potentie. Het liefst heb ik weer een album a la Marshall Mathers LP of Slim Shady LP, welke ik zijn sterkste albums vond. The Eminem Show was ook redelijk goed, maar bevatte niet de originaliteit waarmee Eminem groot geworden is. Over Encore.. tsja.. waardeloos. Ik hoop dat hij deze pauze goed benut en terugkomt met een album dat niet alleen geprojecteerd is op 12 tot 16 jarigen.
