Frank Sinatra - It Was A Very Good Year



Το τραγούδι αυτό περιγράφει τους διαφορετικούς τύπους γύναικων στις σχέσεις που έκανε ο τραγουδιστής ξεκινώντας από την ηλικία των 17. Στο τέλος καθώς έχει μεγαλώσει, σκέφτεται ότι η ζωή του είναι γλυκειά και φωτεινή σαν παλιό κρασί.
Το 1966 το τραγούδησε και ο Frank Sinatra κερδίζοντας το Grammy καλύτερης εκτέλεσης.

(Ervin Drake)
When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a mess of good years

Pink Floyd - One of These Days & Eno - Third Uncle


(Pink Floyd - One of These Days - 1971)


(Eno - Third Uncle - 1974)

To "One of These Days" είναι μια Instrumental σύνθεση των Pink Floyd όπου στην αρχή μετά τον ήχο ανέμου εναλλάσσονται δύο μπάσες κιθάρες. Η πρώτη του David Gilmour, που κατά δήλωση του ιδίου στο περιοδικό Guitar World ακούγεται πολύ νωθρή (οι χορδές ήταν παλιές και ο roadie που έστειλαν να φέρει καινούργιες χάθηκε ψάχνοντας την φιλενάδα του) σε σχέση με αυτήν του Roger Waters πού μπαίνει αμέσως μετά. Χαρακτηριστικό του κομματιού είναι η παραμορφωμένη απειλητική φωνή του Nick Mason : "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces" που στρέφεται ενάντια στον Sir Jimmy Young, DJ του BBC.

Αυτή η εισαγωγή επηρέασε τον Brian Eno στο "Third Uncle" που με τις παράφρονες Punk-Heavy Metal κιθάρες και τα βαβουριάρικα τύμπανα έκανε ένα αγριεμένο και γεμάτο μούρλια κομμάτι.

A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away)



I walked along the avenue.
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora Borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.

Reached out a hand to touch your face;
You're slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
I'm floating in a beam of light with you;
A beam of light with you.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I couldn't get away.

(Το αφιερώνω στον Παναγιώτη τον 267)
