Another Suitcase In Another Hall
Sarah Brightman · Other Songs - Sarah Brightman
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true.
Being used to trouble, I anticipate it,
But all the same, I hate it.
Wouldn't you?
So, what happens now?
(Another suitcase in another hall)
So, what happens now?
(Take your pictures off another wall)
Where am I going to?
(You'll get by, you always have before)
Where am I going to?
Time and time again I've said that I don't care,
That I'm immune to gloom,
That I'm hard through and through.
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me,
And they do.
[Repeat Chorus]
Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know.
Well, maybe not that fine,
But I'll survive anyhow.
I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that no consolation here and now.
[Repeat Chorus]
Don't Ask Anymore
Another Suitcase In Another Hall
Sarah Brightman's "Another Suitcase In Another Hall" stands as a poignant exploration of displacement and the universal human experience of leaving home. Recorded in English, the track leverages her distinctive soprano voice to convey a narrative of wandering and emotional resilience. While often associated with her broader discography of romantic ballads, this recording distinguishes itself through its melancholic atmosphere and the lyrical focus on the transient nature of life. The song reflects themes common in her earlier work, particularly those dealing with longing and the search for belonging, yet it maintains a unique emotional depth that resonates with listeners globally. As a standalone piece, it captures the essence of a journey without the need for a specific album context, serving as a testament to Brightman's ability to craft intimate, character-driven music that transcends traditional genre boundaries.
