Direi nella media, ma non per questo non meritevole. Non credo sia la hit tormentone come "Last Friday Night", ma secondo me ogni tanto è giusto avere canzoni da ascoltare, non solo da ballare. Questa "The one that got away" ricorda, soprattutto nel video, le classiche storie d'amore finite e mai dimenticate. Il ricordo di quell'amore lasciato andare.
A me piaciucchia, e nel videclip si vede anche una Katy che ricorda molto quella di un paio di anni fa, senza i capelli viola, fucsia o blu, insomma più college-time. Fa decisamente la sua bella figura.
Il video è firmato dalla regista Floria Sigismondi, che già aveva realizzato il videoclip di "E.T.". Era un po' inquietante quello, ed in effetti anche vedere Katy Perry invecchiata un po' lo è.
Per le ragazze curiose, il ragazzo nella foto è Diego Luna, principalmente attore ma anche regista messicano.
Non ci resta che lasciarvi al video, triste ma ben realizzato, anche in questo caso una sorta di cortometraggio con una storia da seguire mentre si ascolta la canzone.
Testo | Lyrics
Summer after high school, when we first met
We make-out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my eighteenth birthday,
we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents liquor
and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you
[Chorus]
In another life, I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises,
be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
the one that got away
the one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you,
I put those records on, whoa
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown, singing the blues
It's time to face the music,
I'm no longer your muse but
[Chorus]
In another life, I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises,
be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
the one that got away
the one that got away
The oooooooo-one (x3)
The one that got away
All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can’t replace you with a million rings, no
I should have told you what you meant to me, whoa
Cause now I pay the price
[Chorus]
In another life, I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises,
be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
the one that got away
the one that got away
The oooooooo-one (the one) (x3)
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were
the one that got away
the one that got away
