Rocket Love

Stevie Wonder

Transposer:

** (Original Key: ) Intro:          (x2) Break:        Do do do do do do Do do do do do do Do do do do do do Do do do-oo. Interlude:          (x2) Verse 1: I longed for you since I was born; A woman sensi-tive and warm                And that you were. With pride and strength No one would test But yet have femi-nine fi-nesse;               And so much more. Chorus 1: You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world.         You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world.         Interlude:             (x2) Verse 2: A female Shakespeare of your time With looks to blow Pi-casso’s mind;                You were the best. Your body moved with grace and song Like sympho-nies by Bach or Brahms;             Neverthe-less.            Oh oh; Chorus 2: You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world.         You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world.         Break: Do do do do do do Do do do do do do Do do do do do do *KEY CHANGE* ------------ Verse 3: The passion burning in your heart Would make hell’s fire seem like a spark;               Where did it go? Just why that you would over-night Turn love to stone as cold as ice             I’ll never  know. Chorus 3:     You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world.         You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world. (Cold too cold). Chorus 4: You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world.         You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world. (I would not do that to a dog). Chorus 5: You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world.         You took me riding in your rocket; Gave me a star. But at a half a mile from heaven You dropped me back Down to this cold cold world.         Outro: Rocket love.

Cette chanson évoque un amour intense et passionné, mais qui se transforme en douleur. Le narrateur se remémore des moments élevés avec sa partenaire, comme s'ils avaient voyagé dans les cieux, pour finalement retomber dans une réalité froide et décevante. La métaphore du voyage en fusée symbolise l'extase et l'élévation que l'on ressent en étant amoureux, mais la redescente évoque le chagrin et la perte. Les paroles décrivent également la beauté et la force de cette femme, tout en laissant entrevoir une rupture inattendue qui laisse le protagoniste dans l'incompréhension. Cette ambivalence entre l'amour et la souffrance ponctue les rêves et les désillusions romantiques.
