We have curious readers coming to the site searching for the background song that was played on Didi’s farewell tribute package during her elimination.
The song used for Didi’s exit farewell tribute, as well as for the other contestants who have left before her is called “Leave Right Now.” The title is somewhat cutting but this is a love song and the lyrics really is open for interpretations. It is a 2003 UK hit song from the original “Pop Idol” 2002 winner Will Young.
William “Will” Young is a British singer-songwriter and actor. He rose to fame in 2002 after winning the inaugural Pop Idol contest (February 2002), making him the first winner of the now-worldwide Idols-format franchise. He has won multiple awards. Young has sold over eight million albums worldwide. (Wikipedia)
Will is venturing into the United States, bringing his music to American fans, following Adam Lambert’s path with Adam doing it the other way around. Adam just came back from his very successful European tour.
Lyrics: Leave Right Now
I’m here, just like I said
Though it’s breaking every rule I’ve ever made
My racing heart, is just the same;
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I’d love to say “I do”;
Give everything to you
But I could never now be true
So I say…
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
I’m here, so please explain
Why you’re opening up a healing wound again
I’m a little more careful, perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs at least I’m spared the lows
Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm?
To feel my spirit calm?
So I say…
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
I wouldn’t know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you’ve got your smile back
Like you say – you’re right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten, twice as shy
If I’m proud, perhaps I should explain
I couldn’t bear to loose you again
Yes, I will.
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper…
I think I better leave right now
