Pretending

Eric Clapton

Transposer:

[Verse 1] How many times must we tell the tale? How many times must we fall? Living in lost memory You just recalled (lick 1 guitar only) Working on the sound of the band (2 part harmony) Trying to get the music right Two go out working Three stay home at night (lick 2) [Chorus] That’s when she said she was pretending Like she knew the plan That’s when I knew she was pretending Pretending to understand Pretending pretending Pretending pretending (2nd time repeat ’pretending’ part before solo) [Verse 2] Satisfied but lost in love (2 part harmony) Situations change (2 part harmony) You’re never who you used to think you are How strange (lick 2) [Chorus] That’s when she said she was pretending Like she knew the plan That’s when I knew she was pretending Pretending to understand Pretending pretending Pretending pretending

La chanson évoque les difficultés des relations, où les attentes et les illusions sont souvent à l'ordre du jour. Le narrateur se rend compte que la personne qu'il aime feint de comprendre et de partager ses sentiments, ce qui crée une distance entre eux. Ce sentiment de déception et de désillusion est renforcé par la nostalgie d'une époque où les choses semblaient plus simples. Au fil des vers, il est évident que les personnages naviguent entre le travail, les rêves musicaux et une vie personnelle compliquée, marquée par des changements inévitables.
