Life is magic
Недавно, разбирая кассеты, наткнулась на Songs for Drella. Столько времени прошло, а все та же реакция. По-прежнему плачу на "Hello, it's me", испытываю горечь от "It wasn't me". Потрясающие тексты, потрясающая музыка. Что тут еще скажешь. Остается лишь тихая печаль, что человек, которому все это было посвящено, никогда этого не услышит.
It Wasn't Me
It wasn't me who shamed you, it's not fair to say that
You wanted to work I gave you a chance at that
It wasn't me who hurt you, that's more credit that I'm worth
Don't threaten me with the things you'll do to you
It wasn't me who shamed you, it wasn't me who brought you down
You did it to yourself without any help from me
It wasn't me who hurt you, I showed you possibilities
The problems you had were there before you met me
I didn't say this had to be
You can't blame these things on me
It wasn't , it wasn't me, it wasn't me
I know she's dead, it wasn't me
It wasn't me who changed you, you did it to yourself
I'm not an excuse for the hole you dropped in
I'm not simple minded but I'm not father to you at all
Death exists but you do things to yourself
I never said give up control
I never said stick a needle in your arm and die
It wasn't , it wasn't me, it wasn't me
I know she's dead but it wasn't me
It wasn't me who shamed you, who covered you with mud
You did it to yourself without any help from me
You act as I could've told you or stopped you like some god
But people never listen and you know that that's a fact
I never said slit your wrists and die
I never said throw your life away
It wasn't , it wasn't me, it wasn't me
You're killing yourself - you can't blame me.

ни фига себе.........
КАК В ТЕМУ. в точку.
я даже не знаю такойпесни у Лу Рида....
Мне очень нравится Velvet Underground. Жаль, что их альбомы практически нельзя купить. Данный был записан с радио в жутком качестве
Песня с альбома Songs for Drella, посвященного памяти Энди Уорхола. Очень пронзительная песня, да и весь альбом очень эмоционален.
Velvet Underground в некотором отношении вообще очень интересны тем, что чаще можно услышать или найти каверы на их песни, чем их самих. Хотя их часто используют в саундтреках.
Я о них узнала, когда начала увлекаться Дэвидом Боуи. Тогда еще радиостанции не были такими как сейчас и существовало много хороших передач, где передавали классику рока.
what-what-what????
