A (sudden) Change of Heart

Dziś kolejny idiom, którego ostatnio wszędzie pełno, czego nie posłucham, albo czego nie obejrzę ;) Mowa o 'zmianie serca' czyli A CHANGE OF HEART.

 

Idiom pochodzi z XVIII wieku, podobno pierwsze zarejestrowane użycie to 1791 r. i niemalże od początku oznacza 'zmienić zdanie' lub 'zmienić nastawienie do czegoś':

'a reversal in position or attitude'  

Merriam-Webster Dictionary

'a situation in which you change your opinion about someone or something'  

Macmillan Dictionary

Taka przemiana może być nagła, dlatego często słyszy się ten idiom w towarzystwie przymiotnika SUDDEN:

A SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART

No i oczywiście piosenka.... Nie mogłam się przeć temu teledyskowi.... Przyznaję szczerze, że te fryzury, makijaże i ubrania, ten niemalże neobarokowy przepych w jakiś sposób działa rozbrajająco ;) Enjoy!

  Here I am
  Just like I said I would be
  I'm your friend
  Just like you think it should be
  Did you think I would stand here and lie
  As our moment was passing us by
  Oh I am here
  Waiting for your change of heart
  It just takes a bit
  To turn it around
  Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart
  At the edge of my seat
  Please turn it around
  Days go by
  Leaving me with a hunger
  I could fly
  Back to when we were younger
  When adventures like cars we would ride
  And the years lied ahead still untried
  While I stand here
  Turn it around, round, round
  Yeah yeah
  Turn it around, round, round
  Yeah Yeah
  Turn it around
  Blind leading blind
  Never hear the laughter
  Search through time
  Nothing reveals the answer
  If it's truth that you're looking to find
  It is nowhere outside of your mind
  I bide my time
  Turn it around, round, round
  Yeah Yeah
  Turn it around, round, round
  Yeah yeah
  Turn turn turn it around
  And I'm waiting for your change of heart
  Ooooh, ooooh
  Waiting for your change of heart
