Rewind to 2007: A group of friends in our small Punjabi town, and one of them introduces me to the enchanting voice of Enrique Iglesias. That moment sparked my deep affection for Enrique’s music.
Today’s musical pick is one of my all-time favorites from Enrique Iglesias—Wish I Was Your Lover. From the first listen, I knew this track would become a staple on my playlist. Enrique’s melodious voice, his unique approach to the lyrics, and the song’s emotional depth resonated with me in a way I hadn’t experienced with English music before.
Lyrics:
“I tried to tell you how I feel,
I tried to tell you but I’m weak…
Words don’t come easily,
When you get close I shiver…
I watch you when you smile,
I watch you when you cry,
And I still don’t understand,
I can’t find a way to tell you…
I wish I was your lover, I wish that you were mine…
Baby, I’ve got this feeling, that I just can’t hide.”
This song captures the essence of love and vulnerability so perfectly, making it a go-to for anyone struggling to express their feelings, whether you’re a teenager or an adult. If you haven’t yet heard it, give it a listen—you might just find it resonates with you as deeply as it did with me!
