3 декабря 1984 года британский поп-дуэт Wham!, состоящий из Джорджа Майкла и Эндрю Риджли, представил песню Last Christmas. Лиричная композиция быстро стала хитом, а с годами приобрела статус главной рождественской песни (наравне с All I Want For Christmas Is You Мэрайи Кэри). В честь 38-летия легендарного трека мы решили разобраться, как он создавался и в чем секрет его популярности.
Майкл написал песню буквально за час
Текст и мелодию баллады о неразделенной любви Джордж Майкл написал в начале 1984 года, когда вместе со своим коллегой по группе Эндрю Риджли приехал погостить к родителям. Парни смотрели футбол по телевизору, как вдруг Майкл ушел в свою детскую комнату. Через час он вернулся в гостиную и показал наброски будущего суперхита. К тому моменту Wham! уже была достаточно популярной группой в Британии, но Майкл мечтал о международной славе и сольной карьере (тем более, что за тексты и музыку все равно отвечал он, а не Эндрю).
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it’s been a year
It doesn’t surprise me
Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you“
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now
I know you’d fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Now I’ve found a real love. You’ll never fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I gave you my heart
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone special
Special
Someone
Someone
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone special
Who give me something in return
I’ll give it to someone—
Hold my heart and watch it burn
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone special
I thought you were here to stay
How could you love me for a day
I thought you were someone special
Gave you my heart
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone—
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
You gave it away
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone—
