A Different Corner Lyrics
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there
Had I been there
I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare
No, I don't dare
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared
I'm so scared
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care?
Little by little, you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care?
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love
Is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear
i also love this song. and i believe that people always come into ur lyf 4 a reason and i think in the song its to help him learn to pick himself up again after heartache. ultimately what doesnt kill you only makes u stronger. love to love x
I think this song is about meeting somebody you think you could fall in love with, having never fallen in love before. However, this person is scared to love and would rather have not been in this situation in the first place as it would be easier to deal with...
This is a lovely lovely song. I especially like "take me back in time i wish that I could forget. Turn a different corner and we never would have met." Because that's how I felt when I broke up with my wanker ex boyfriend - wished I'd turned a different corner on the day we met. :)
i cant stop listening to this song. it's Too good
George Michael has such a beautiful voice.
I love the lines "turn a different corner and we never would have met". It's so poetic. Even though he uses it in the exact opposite context, I think of all the wonderful people I know and how many of them would have remained strangers if I had turned a different corner.
To me, this song signifies a person who has, for the first time, had feelings for someone that he's never experienced before. But in that, he doesn't know what feelings he has - he doesn't know if it's love because he's not been there before.
So he's saying, because he is scared, he'd rather go back to 'being lonely and confused' as he was before he met this person - ultimately it seems, because he is too scared to do anything further. Hence wanting to 'turn a different corner'.
That's what it means to me, anyway.
I often wonder this about my ex:
Take me back in time maybe I can forget Turn a different corner and we never would have met Would you care
If we'd never met, would he care? Would I? How would things be different?
I believe ALL things happen for a reason. All good and BAD. we have freewill, we all make choices. Good and BAD. I believe when it comes to people, with over 6 Billion of us here on this earth...that paths are on purpose, some cross, some intermingle, some merge. None of no when they will start or end. That is why,...its best to accept what happens happens. It is what it is...for a reason. A reasoning made higher than our own. Nothing is by accident. Nothing.

It is about George or anyone that meet someone and fall in love. But as the relationship reaches its plateau, which is three to six month period. George is having a difficult time letting go of the relationship with female band member. He is as usual bag her for one more chance. He have regrets and confuses his fears in the relationship and in his mind the relationship deserve another chance. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He was so young and naive.
George was so young and naive. He was in a relationship that was ending. And he had a difficult time letting it go. In the early days his song involve encounters with the women. And this had to be with one of his background singers or Jody Watley. He had a thing for women with full lips and full figured.
I tend to disagree my friend. In a documentary.."carless wiskers". George stated he wrote this song, for an American man, whom worked (??) or was at a bar. THIS man was openly gay...George was coming around to being open. He was very unsure about his coming out. He called this man, on the phone one night, and sang it to him over the phone...and recorded for him shortly after.

'A Different Corner' also seemed to be about a specific situation, you splitting up with someone… Oh yeah! It was actually my first true infatuation – it involved no proper sex, nothing. Think about how self-obsessed first love is. It was me going, “I’m ready to feel this now”. The other person is almost incidental – they’re the victim, really. I obsessed about this person for ages, and soon after I met him he said; “I don’t want to be your boyfriend”. Which was a very clever thing to say at the time.

This is the first time, that a guy is seen waiting by the phone. he talk about what would have happened if he never met, and fell in love.
