Free Bird

derwahnsinnhateinennamen — 2009-12-19T00:43:00Z

Ach was für eine Szene bei Elizabethtown bei der Trauerfeier als die Band Free Bird spielt - Lynyrd Skynyrd größten Hit. 1973 erschien er das erste Mal auf dem selbstbetitelten Debütalbum. Er ist der längste Song, den die Band auf Konzerten spielt - manchmal dauert er bis zu 14 Minuten. Nach dem Flugzeugabsturz von 1977, der drei Bandmitgliedern das Leben kostete wurde bis 1989 lediglich eine Instrumentalversion live gespielt.

In den USA ist es ein beliebtes Klischee, das Zuschauer bei einem Konzert (egal welche Band oder welcher Stil) laut Free Bird fordern.

Lyrics

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

Wild World

Lalalalalala...

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Lalalalala....

Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

derwahnsinnhateinennamen — 2009-12-02T23:34:00Z

Es ist erstaunlich aus welchen Ideen Songs geboren werden:

Around the time of writing While My Guitar Gently Weeps I had a copy of the I Ching the (Chinese) Book of Changes which seemed to me to be based on the Eastern concept that everything is relative to everything else, as opposed to the Western view that things are merely coincidental. This idea was in my head when I visited my parents' house in the North of England. I decided to write a song based on the first thing I saw upon opening any book as it would be relative to that moment at that time. I picked up a book at random opened it saw Gently weeps then laid the book down again and started the song.

Lyrics

I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I dont know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I dont know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice its turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I dont know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I dont know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all . . .
Still my guitar gently weeps.

Lyrics

How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take

Take a look at me now

Jolene

derwahnsinnhateinennamen — 2009-11-19T03:45:00Z

1973 veröffentlichte Dolly Parton einen der Hits, die sie zur Country Legende machen sollten Jolene vom gleichnamigen Album.

Er erzählt die Geschichte einer Hausfrau, die mit einer Rivalin um ihren Ehemann kämpft.

Es soll übrigens eine Antwort von Janis Ferberg auf den Titel aus der Sicht der fiktiven Jolene geben, die wiederum bittet, ihr doch den Mann zu überlassen - vielleicht ist das aber auch nur ein Country Mythos.

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
Theres nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you dont know what he means to me, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please dont take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please dont take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
Hes the only one for me, jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please dont take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please dont take him even though you can

Lyrics

Such a shame to believe in escape
'A life on every face'
And that's a change
Till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame

The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, 'I don't care'
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame

Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
It's a shame
Such a shame
Write it across my name
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change

Such a shame

Wild Horses

Lyrics

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldnt drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Lets do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, well ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, well ride them some day

Lyrics

Hug !
I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I should've walked away

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this

Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, cat's in the cradle
Who would've thought that a guy like me could come to this

Oh, hug !
I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

Oh, hug !
I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again

I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh, hug !
I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

Oh, hug !
I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away

It was a long hot night
Yes, she made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment is gone
I followed my hands, not my head
I know I was wrong

Hug !
I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
I should've walked away, should've walked away

Lyrics

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel Came pumping cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love
And if it expires pray help from above"

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you hear by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair.

I walked the world with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you

I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

Oh yeah little angel
she want more
More, more, more, more, more.

Oh yeah little angel
she want more
More, more, more, more

Starship Trooper

derwahnsinnhateinennamen — 2009-10-21T23:56:00Z

1971 veröffentlichten Yes mit The Yes Album ihr drittes Studioalbum. Es ist ein Grundstein für den Erfolg der Band, die eine der Top 4 Progressive Rock Bands wurde.

Da die ersten beiden Alben der Band gefloppt waren konnte Roy Flynn, deren Manager, Atlantic Records zwar zu einer dritten Platte überreden, musste jedoch die Aufnahmekosten selber zahlen. Daher war er zu 5% an den Einnahmen aus dem Album beteiligt, was später noch zu diversen Rechtsstreiten führen sollte.

Da Atlantic Records kein Geld in die Werbung investieren wollte klebte der Roadmanager Michael Tait in ganz London Plakate. Ein Poststreik verschaffte schließlich Yes die erhoffte Werbung - die englischen Plattenläden konnten in der Veröffentlichungswoche ihre Verkaufszahlen nicht nach London melden, wo die nationalen Charts ermittelt wurden. Also wurde Richard Branson Londoner Laden Virgin-Records als alleinige Grundlage herangezogen. Da Yes in London eine große Fangemeinde hatten erhielt das Album eine hohe Chartplatzierung und landesweite Aufmerksamkeit.

Lyrics

I. Life Seeker
(Anderson)

Sister Bluebird flying high above,
Shine your wings forward to the sun.
Hide the myst'ries of life on your way.
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word.
What you don't know, I have never heard.

Starship Trooper, go sailing on by,
Catch my soul, catch the very night.
Hide the moment from my eager eyes.
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul.
What you can't see, can't be very whole.

Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember,
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters that,
In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways.

Mother life, hold firmly on to me.
Catch my knowledge higher than the day.
Lose as much as only you can show.
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word.
What I don't know, I have never shared.

II. Disillusion
(Squire)

Loneliness is a pow'r that we possess to give or take away forever.
All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the fact there shown before you.
Take what I say in a diff'rent way and it's easy to see
that this is all confusion.
As I see a new day in me, I can also show if you and you may follow.

Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember,
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters that,

Papa Was A Rolling Stone

derwahnsinnhateinennamen — 2009-10-19T03:00:00Z

1971 schrieben Norman Whitfield und Barrett Strong Papa Was A Rolling Stone als Soulsong für The Undisputed Truth. Er bescherte der Band 1972 einen bescheidenen Erfolg (24 R'n'B Charts). Wie zu dieser Zeit üblich bearbeiteten beide den Song jedoch noch einmal für eine andere Band: die Temptations Version, ein 12 minütiger Funksong wurde ein weltweiter Hit.

Lyrics

It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you, tell me the truth.

And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Well, well.

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.

Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Uh!

Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folk say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill.
Hey Mama, folk say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth. Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Angels

derwahnsinnhateinennamen — 2009-10-13T23:54:00Z

Angels war die vierte Single Robbie Williams erstem Soloalbum nach Take That Life Thru A Lens. Der Song ist Williams größter Hit und soll Gerüchten zu Folge ihm erst die Fortsetzung seiner Solo Karriere ermöglicht haben.

Der irische Songwriter Ray Heffernan beanspruchte für sich, den Song über seinen tot geborenen Sohn geschrieben zu haben. Das irische Fernsehen produzierte eine Sendung über die Anschuldigung. Williams wurde jedoch nicht verklagt. Die offiziellen Song Credits geben neben Williams seinen damaligen Songwriting Partner Guy Chambers als Urheber aus. Ihrer Version zu Folge hat der Song Williams Onkel und Tante als Vorbild.

Lyrics

I sit and wait does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know the places where we go when we're grey and old
'cause I've been told that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I'm lying in my bed thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me when I come to call
she won't forsake me I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above and I know I'll always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me when I come to call
she won't forsake me I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me when I come to call
she won't forsake me I'm loving angels instead

Here Comes Your Man

derwahnsinnhateinennamen — 2009-10-04T01:23:00Z

kam 1989 auf dem Album Doolittle der Pixies, das heute als eines der besten Alternative Alben aller Zeiten gilt.

It's about winos and hobos traveling on the trains, who die in the California Earthquake. Before earthquakes, everything gets very calmanimals stop talking and birds stop chirping and there's no wind. It's very ominous.

I've been through a few earthquakes, actually, 'cause I grew up in California. I was only in one big one, in 1971. I was very young and I slept through it. I've been awake through lots of small ones at school and at home. It's very exciting actuallya very comical thing. It's like the earth is shaking, and what can you do? Nothing.

Lyrics

outside there's a box car waiting
outside the family stew
out by the fire breathing
outside we wait 'til face turns blue
i know the nervous walking
i know the dirty beard hangs
out by the box car waiting
take me away to nowhere plains
there is a wait so long
here comes your man

big shake on the box car moving
big shake to the land that's falling down
is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
a big, big stone fall and break my crown
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
