OK… Now I really hate Enrique’s video in this song… it portrays exactly what a playboy he is, and he’s really fake, but I love the words of the song – typically rip your heart out material, and so fitting. (Except hopefully for the line ‘and now it’s gone..’ which he redeems only by saying ‘What we had, isn’t lost.’). I’m not an Enrique fan by any measure, for I prefer to like songs rather than the singers.. but there are just 2 songs he sings whose words really hit me – ‘Do you know’ and of course, now, ‘Somebody’s Me.’
The lyrics describe eternal love, a relationship that has no end, even if it is limited by physical boudaries. The reminisce of what has been, and promise of forever. The pledge of allegiance, always, to just the one that is worth him. The video, on the other hand, seems to have absolutely no physical boundaries, with Enrique doing almost everything possible on it. Seriously, Enrique, if we wanted to see a soft porn video wed just go out and get a porno video! Its as if Enrique has finally discovered how to fulfill his lifelong ambition of pornstar, while satisfying his fans with a beautiful song. Never mind that he cries in every one of his songs… this one does bring tears to your eyes…. just dont watch the video or you will be crying for a whole other reason — namely cryin for him to get off the screen and stop spoiling the song!!
I pity his song writers.. poor things must be slaving away, getting no credit (or action for that matter) – and absolutely brilliant. And then Enrique comes along, buys them out for a.. song.. gets all the credit (and action) with a new girl every video, and all the while absolutely having no idea what the lyrics mean. What a life!
