You've Been Loved (Cover Version of George Michael)

You've Been Loved

The moment I came back from England, when I was at my friend's resident, I decided to record this song over my handphone.  Even this song was with me since 2007, I have never seriously learn this song or think about singing it.  Then when I was in England, this song came to me profoundly to my heart and naturally I wish to sing it loud and clear.

From Wikipedia.

"You Have Been Loved" (George Michael/David Austin) / "The Strangest Thing '97" (George Michael) is a double A-side single by the dance-pop artist George Michael. Both songs are from his 1996 album Older. The single reached #2 on the UK charts, only behind Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" '97 charity single. The song was Michael's second double A-side single, after "Older / I Can't Make You Love Me", released the same year. 

Two singles were released for the double A-side. The cover for the first shows Michael cross-legged on a black chaise longue in a room with brown-tiled walls. The cover for the second is just a close-up of the first cover, and does not show the chaise longue. The single version is referred to as "The Strangest Thing '97" instead of simply "The Strangest Thing" of the album version because the single version is a remixed/re-recorded, more up-tempo dance track.

Michael wrote the song about his lover, Anselmo Feleppa, who died of an AIDS-related illness in 1993.^[1] Reviewing Michael in concert in 2012, in The Guardian's Dave Simpson wrote, "'Waiting for That Day' and 'You Have Been Loved' – dedicated to his late mother and lover and "all the other people who have been lost since this song was written" (in 1996) – are unusually moving."^[2]

Lyrics from Wikia
She takes the back road and the lane
Past the school that has not changed
In all this time
She thinks of when the boy was young
All the battles she had won
Just to give him life

That man
She loved that man
For all his life
But now we meet to take him flowers
And only God knows why

For what's the use in pressing palms
When children fade in mother's arms
It's a cruel world
We've so much to loose
And what we have to learn we rarely choose

So if it's God who took her son
He cannot be the one living in her mind

Take care my love, she said
Don't think that God is dead
Take care my love, she said

You have been loved

If I was weak, forgive me
But I was terrified
You brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of love
The kind that makes devils cry

So these days
My life has changed
And I'll be fine
But she just sits and counts the hours
Searching for her crime

So what's the use of pressing palms
If you won't keep such love from harm
It's a cruel world
You've so much to prove
And heaven helps the ones who wait for you

Well I've no daughters, I've no sons
Guess I'm the only one
Living in my life

Take care my love, he said
Don't think that God is dead
Take care my love, he said

You have been loved…
