I know that it's been years since you made this video, but I just saw this for the first time. I couldn't imagine how you got through that tragic part of your life. You must have had a guardian angel helping you cope. You are absolutely a strong woman to go through that all on your own. I see that you picked yourself back up, dusted yourself off, and back better than ever.
You were my sun You were my earth But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no So you took a chance And made other plans But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no You don't have to say, what you did I already know, I found out from him Now there's just no chance For you and me There'll never be And don't it make you sad about it? You told me you love me Why did you leave me all alone? Now you tell me you need me When you call me on the phone Girl, I refuse You must have me confused with some other guy The bridges were burned Now it's your turn, to cry Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river (yeah, yeah) You know that they say that some things are better left unsaid And it wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it Don't act like you don't know it And all of these things people told me Keep messin' with my head (messin' with my head) Should've picked honesty Then you may not have blown it (yeah) You don't have to say (don't have to say) What you did (what you did) I already know (I already know) I found out from him (uh) Now there's just no chance (no chance) For you and me (you and me) There'll never be Don't it make you sad about it? You told me you love me Why did you leave me all alone (all alone) Now you tell me you need me When you call me on the phone (when you call me on the phone) Girl, I refuse You must have me confused with some other guy (I'm not like them baby) The bridges were burned Now it's your turn (it's your turn) to cry So cry me a river (go on and just) Cry me a river (go on and just) Cry me a river (baby, go on and just) Cry me a river (yeah, yeah) Oh (oh!) The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving Oh (oh!) The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving Oh (oh!) The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving Oh (oh!) The damage is done, so I guess I be, leaving You don't have to say (you don't have to say) What you did (what you did) I already know (I already know) I found out from him (uh) Now there's just no chance (no chance) For you and me (you and me) There'll never be Don't it make you sad about it? Cry me a river (go on and just) Cry me a river (baby, go on and just) Cry me a river (you can go on and just) Cry me a river (yeah, yeah) Cry me a river (baby, go on and just) Cry me a river (go on and just) Cry me a river (come on baby, cry) Cry me a river (I don't wanna cry no more, yeah yeah) Cry me a river Cry me a river, oh Cry me a river, oh Cry me a river, oh Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) oh Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) oh Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) oh Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) oh Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) oh Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) oh Cry me a river (cry me, cry me)
It's sad that after all this time your not truly on top. I've been here since the very beginning of single digits. You have singers that don't have a tune in their mouth and has millions and it breaks my heart that this is were you are!!!!!!!! I'm sorrrrry Alexa you deserve soooo much better from RU-vid
Sorry to hear that. I can fell your pain, like you i have lost both parents as well.. Lost my mom breast cancer in 2020, then my dad in 2022. And I've been following for along time. ❤ probably about 10 years. Glad to hear you're healing and doing music again. Much love and blessings your way❤
Undeniably beautiful but your perspective limits how I receive your version as a listener. Sam has this tenderness that hits the heart in a unique way, I feel his story. The lyrics suit any scenario, but most singers sing it like an adult to another adult, Sam’s way of singing suitably fits a parent singing to their dying child. His tones are softer, warmer, tender, deep, sympathetic and touching. Your volume and tones sounds like you’re singing to a man that’s abandoned you when all you want and working up in crescendo for is a hard plough. It’s tense, loud, angry, jealous. I’m not meaning to appear negatively critical of your beautiful voice. But hope that your perspective of how the song resonates with you and who you’re singing it about doesn’t limit your emotional delivery to a greater audience where a females voice would be far more welcoming than a man’s. Your vibrato and control is remarkable especially at the very end. Thank you for sharing your version for our enjoyment I hope I haven’t offended you. I’ve heard other songs of yours and your talent is really great. Try to play more with ‘who you’re singing about, if you sang this as a mother who’s lost their child to cancer as an example a unique shift occurs and a different feel comes out that listeners can feel. Does that make sense? There is no greater pain of love than a mother grieving the death of their child, it’s the most powerful emotion that passes all boundaries of time and space.
Stay strong. I've been thorough the similar situation. Most of the people can't understand how hard is to keep going in those situations after you loose the faith in life. Just keep working and not thinking negative, better nothing than negative. I remember you from 2010, and enjoyed your vocals. Get on the track, for yourself and those that loves you on both worlds. Wishing you all the best ! Love from Bosnia
Happy 35th Birthday Alexa. I wish everyone a happiest of birthday's and also, I believe that no matter what age we turn in 2023 that everyone should celebrate it in any way that they can and do it the best that they want to with friends and family. It should be celebrated in an awesome way.
One of these days in the future you'll be on Major Record Labels Like Capitol Records or Columbia Records or Epic Records or Atlantic Records or on iTunes or CD Baby or RCA Records or Motown Records or Interscope Records or some other Major Record Label or an indie record label-you're truly talented
Still love you all these years Miss Alexa. Oklahoma here :D Prayers and love for you friend. This vid brings back memories lol. Thanks for being such a wonderful, sweet human. Really, you are a blessing.
