Är detta en ny hit med Darius Rucker?

Darius Rucker har gjort rock, han har testat på R&B och han har testat på country. Hans senaste singel är den underbara countrylåten If I told you.

Darius Rucker är förmodligen mest känd som sångare och gitarrist i det amerikanska rockbandet Hootie And The Blowfish som var i gång mellan 1986 och 2008. Hooties senaste platta kom för över tio år sedan, men enligt Rucker är inte bandet nedlagt. Någon dag ska det kunna dyka upp ett nytt album. Visst hoppas man att den dagen redan är här, men så är inte fallet.

Rucker gör numera countrymusik och han är på gång med en ny platta. Vi har fått en riktigt fin singel i If I told you, en soft mellantempolåt.

What if I told you about my little nothing town

The two room house where I came from

The man that I got my name from

I don’t even know where he is no

What if I told you sometimes I lose my faith?

I wonder why someone like you would even talk to me

What if I told you there’s no fixing me

’Cause everybody’s already tried

Would you stay? Would you leave?

I could wait, it’ll all come out eventually

If I told you all the stupid things I’ve done

I’d blamed on being young

But I was old enough to know, I know

If I told you the mess that I can be

When there’s no one there to see

Would you look the other way, ’cause you love me anyway?

What if I told you I don’t plan on staying here?

My dreams are a million miles away

And I know your family’s gonna want you to stay

You know what? I don’t blame them

So I’ll say what I don’t want to

And I’ll just pray you want what I do

If I told you all the stupid things I’ve done

I’d blamed on being young

But I was old enough to know, I know

If I told you the mess that I can be

When there’s no one there to see

Could you look the other way ’cause you love me anyway?

’Cause you love me anyway

So before we go any further here

Better we turn into another year

There’s some things you probably don’t want to hear

But you have to

If I told you sometimes I get jealous

Sometimes I’m half crazy

Would you say the hell with me, the hell with me?

If I told you I barely know what love is

But girl, if that’s what this I don’t want to let it slip away

Could you love me anyway, please?

Could you love me anyway?
