The thing is, while the track by itself is brilliant, the way it’s been used in Notting Hill makes it 100x better. The copyright in this sound recording is owned by Mercury Records Ltd (London) except track 1 owned by Island Records and is exclusively licensed to Mercury Records Ltd (London). The first few verses are him weighing up the pros and cons - she could be bad for him, leave him emotionally scarred, but she could also be the best thing in his life - There is no way for him to be sure and the front she has on makes it difficult for him to work her out. He loves her despite the fact she has a front and he is willing to be there for her "laughter and tears" and make them his "souvenirs" (I.

I think this song is about someone who has fallen in love with a woman who is somewhat mysterious and has a bit of a front - "inside her shell" "No-one's allowed to see them when they cry" and he is intrigued by her. This version of the song peaked at number 19 in the United Kingdom, giving Costello his first (and last) top 20 hit in the United Kingdom in 16 years. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. Bryan Ferry covered it at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival with Aznavour joining him on stage at the end of the performance. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.What i hate abour "She" is that it became veeery annoying over time due to being used in every commercial, every shitty tv show, every wedding from 2001 to 2014. THe thing is, he wanted to express his songs to a wider audience, so he translated some of his greatest hits into english with mixed results ("Hier encore" became "Yesterday, when I was young", La boheme was made in english).

He admits that some of his memories of her may be bittersweet and fleeting, but still, they remain etched in his mind forever. Italian singer Laura Pausini also released an Italian language cover of the song, titled "She (Uguale a lei)". Paul Byrom recorded a cover of the song while a member of Celtic Thunder; the song was released on the self-titled debut album and their concert DVD "The Show. A live version of the song was included in a medley performed on 2 June 2007, during her concert at the San Siro stadium in Milan, later released as a video album titled San Siro 2007.He realises there are emotional risks for him to become involved with her despite how special he thinks she is. It was also released as a digital single on 8 March 2006, but was not featured on any of Pausini's studio albums. He declares that he will cherish every moment with her, whether it brings laughter or tears, and that he will keep them as precious reminders of their shared life.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues.Thing is, back then, when I first saw this film (and heard music from this film), I would have ignored “She” for sure.
