Músicas da minha juventude
Aqui há umas semanas atrás, em Fevereiro, o meu Amigo António «Peciscas» lançou-me um desafio e, só hoje lhe respondo.
Ora bem, tenho que escolher músicas que, na minha juventude, me influenciaram pela positiva.
Escolhi não as musicas específicas, mas antes os cantores ou conjuntos.
Sempre tive facilidade de falar francês e inglês e, a maior parte delas sabia as letras de cor e salteado, a sério...
Eram os meus gostos musicais dos anos 60 e 70.
Podem ficar descansados que não vou passar a "batata quente" a ninguém.
Várias musicas de Neil Diamond eu «adorava» e sabia-as na ponta da língua, esta é uma delas: I AM... I SAID
Written by Neil Diamond
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
Written by Neil Diamond
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is 'lay back'
Palm trees grow, and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home, but it ain't mine no more
"I am," I said
"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair"
I am," I cried"
I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
I you talk about me, the story's the same one
But I got an emptiness deep inside
But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone
"I am," I said
"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair"
I am," I cried"
I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
De «Françoise Hardy» adoro:Tous les garçons et les filles...de mon âge!!!
De «Simon and Garfunkel» adoro:
De «Simon and Garfunkel» adoro:Bridge over troubled water...
Por acaso alguma destas musicas é do vosso agrado?

Sweet Caroline - Waylong Jennings
