Requested By Diane
This is from her album “Prism” which was released in the year 2013.
I love the lyrics of this song more than the music. I feel the lyrics are really powerful and meaningful. From a musical perspective, I don’t think this song has that “X Factor” which you can find in most of Katy’s songs. But that doesn’t mean that this song goes to the trash, it has got that special vibe which makes you wanna listen to this song again and again.
What do you think about this song and it’s transcription? Comment below.
