I was watching E! News (yes, it's my favourite channel XDDD) a few days ago and saw a snippet of Mandy Moore doing a cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella". I can't decide whether I love or hate the original version (singit, "a-a-a-a" XD), but I did love what I heard on the television. Finally found the time to go hunt it down, so here it is!

Oh and if you've been living under a rock and haven't heard the radio stations playing this song over and over again (:lol:), here are the lyrics:
Umbrella
You had my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you, I'll always share
Because...
When the sun shines
We’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'ma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we'll still love each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
These fancy things
Will never come in between
You're my entity
Here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
Even if the hand is hard
Together we'll mend your heart
Because...
When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'ma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we'll still love each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
You can run into my arms
That's okay don't be alarmed
Come into me
(There's no distance in between our love)
Gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because...
When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'ma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
Under my umbrella
It's raining
Ooo baby it's raining (raining)
Come into me
Come into me
It's raining
Ooo baby it's raining
Come into me
Come into meWhile comparing lyrics, I realised that Mandy sings, "Told you we'll still
love each other", while Rihanna sings, "Told you we'll still
have each other". :fangirl: I must say that Mandy's cover makes the song really sweet! And hey, Aerith singing about an umbrella, what's there not to love? :cleris: Those Cleris music videos using Rihanna's "Umbrella" that I watched a couple months back had amazing foresight!
And now all I have to say is someone, anyone, puh-lease make a rockin' Cleris music video with Mandy Moore's "Umbrella" cover. Everyone here will love you for life. :fangirl:
