Tango sat in front of the mixing table and made him listen to the back music first. A soft piano, with a catchy guitar melody and a dramatic mix of bass and drums. He closed his eyes and got into the music.
After an entire day of mixing, trying new sounds, additional tricks and a few lyrics changes, the song was almost done. His voice filled the room, their souls, their hearts, everything. The emotions were caught raw into his voice and everything the lines told, it was purely felt into the sound and voice.
"This is so heartbroken. Every time I sing it, I feel more pain inside" Bono said with the paper still on his hands and getting out of the recording room after his last singing "You should win every single award just for this lyrics" He said smiling at her
"You're too excited, I don't think so..."
"God, you're so talented you don't even know" he said "Let's play it" he said as he got out of the recording box and sat beside her on the mix table to hear the final version .
She played the song an immediately both closed their eyes at the same time. The sound of the piano opening the song, followed by catchy guitar riff and then joined by soft bass and drums.
I'm jealous of the rain
That falls upon your skin
It's closer than my hands have been
I'm jealous of the rain
I'm jealous of the wind
That ripples through your clothes
It's closer than your shadow
Oh, I'm jealous of the wind
'Cause I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
I'm jealous of the nights
That I don't spend with you
I'm wondering who you lay next to
Oh, I'm jealous of the nights
I'm jealous of the love
Love that was in here
Gone for someone else to share
Oh, I'm jealous of the love
'Cause I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
As I sink in the sand
Watch you slip through my hands
Oh, as I die here another day, yeah
'Cause all I do is cry behind this smile
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
I-I-It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me*
"These are the most sincere, raw, heartbroken and realistic lines I've ever read. I've never seen lines like this before" Bono confessed
"You did a great job" She smiled back at him and quickly looked away
"I guess you suffer a lot, but it seems you still love him, don't you?" He asked intrigued
"I do. I never stopped loving him. But I don't know if he still does..." She said looking down
"What did he do to break your heart like that?" Bono asked
"I broke his" She said giving a heartbroken look with tearful eyes as Bono stayed silent
