TOOK ME / THIS WORLD
- CD singolo -
Una notte di Novembre,
dopo una rilassante serata passata a "suonare" il sitar
(cosa che ormai non faccio così spesso), un famoso chitarrista che
non è più tra noi venne da me, e mi regalò due canzoni.
Il sogno non era molto
chiaro, ma quando mi svegliai nel cuore della notte, potevo ancora ricordare
chiaramente entrambi i brani.
Corsi subito giù
nel mio studio per registrarle immediatamente, usando delle tracce di batteria
che Stefano aveva registrato per qualche altro progetto.
Ci ho lavorato su ancora
il giorno successivo, ma fondamentalmente i pezzi erano già pronti.
Il risultato è
qualcosa di molto inusuale per il mio repertorio, ma sono sepre stato un
grosso fan dei Beatles.
Comunque, grazie George.
E grazie anche a te,
figlio mio.

TOOK ME
It took me thousand years To get a cool
and clean guitar
It took me all those years To get a cool
and clean guitar
That guitar Has cost me half a leg and
all my car
I later found my fingers
It's what has brought my sound so far
It took me even longer To get a place where
I could sleep
It took me so much longer To build a place
where I could sleep
Now that I Just put the very final screw
in time
I found my sleeping dream
Was just a crack inside my deep
Oh, should we
Learn a little bit from everything?
That could save a headache
Or maybe just make me sing.

That guitar Has cost me half a leg and
all my car
I later found my fingers
It's what has led my sound so far
It took me all those years To learn we'll
all be dead and gone
It took me all those years To learn we'll
all be dead and gone
I'm aware It hasn't been a party to struggle
there
But after all I've met you,
So I can't say I've been alone.
Oh, my love,
It took me years
But I've got it done (repeat)
THIS WORLD
Here I stand
With a guitar in my hand
Singing songs from a different age.
This world is not my world anymore:
This world is yours.
This word is not my world anymore
This world is yours.
Here I stand
With a paper in my hand
Telling stories from an erlier age.
This world is not my world anymore:
This world is yours.
This word is not my world anymore
Please treat it kind, my son
This word is not my world anymore
This world is yours.
