Hi,
und ich dachte, den Thread liest niemand!
Deine Meinung vom 2. Song kann ich voll teilen. Der kam nur rein, weil ich es so erstaunlich fand, dass so viele Leute den anklicken.
Tja, mein Geschmack ist vielfältig.
Hier nun wieder was ganz anderes, was mir aber auch sehr gut gefällt:
Kathy Mattea with Dougie MacLean - Ready For The Storm
Kathy Mattea macht aber oft eher Songs Richtung Pop (weichgespült); diese Ballade ist aber wirklich gut!

Der gleiche schön-dramatische-melancholische Song "Ready For The Storm", diesmal interpretiert von der irischen Band
Deanta (leider schon lange aufgelöst, hat aber 3 CDs hinterlassen):
Dougie MacLean (Studioaufnahme) "Ready For The Storm"
Der Text zu "Ready For The Storm":
O the waves crash in and the tide pulls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn the lonely sailor
And the lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul
Till there's nothing left that he can hold
Except the rolling ocean
Chorus:
But I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready
I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm
Give me mercy for my dreams
For every confrontation seems
To tell me what it really means
To be this lonely sailor
But when you take me by your side
You love me warm, you love me
And I should have realized
I had no reasons to be frightened
Chorus
But distance it is no real friend
And time will takes its time
But you will find that in the end
It brings you me the lonely sailor
But when the sky begins to clear
And the sun it melts away my fear
I'll cry a silent weary tear
For those that need to love me
Chorus
Kathy Mattea "Where've You Been"
Aus den USA ein wunderbares Lied über die Geschichte einer jahrzehntelangen Liebe zweier Menschen bis ins hohe Alter; und sogar als bereits demenziell erkrankte Frau fragt sie - wie früher schon immer - beim ersten Anblick ihres Mannes nach längerem Getrenntsein: "Wo bist Du gewesen? Ich bin einfach nicht ich selbst wenn Du weg bist!" Wie romantisch!
Der Liedtext:
Claire had all but given up when she and Edwin fell in love
She touched his face and shook her head, in disbelief she sighed and said
In many dreams I've held you near, but now at last you're really here
Where've you been I've looked for you forever and a day
Where've you been I'm just not myself when you're away
He asked her for her hand for life, and she became a salesman's wife
He was home each night by eight, but one stormy evening he was late
Her frightened tears fell to the floor, until his key turned in the door
Where've you been...
They'd never spent a night apart, for sixty years she heard him snore
Now they're in the hospital in separate beds on different floors
Claire soon lost her memory forgot the names of family
She never spoke a word again, then one day they wheeled him in
He held her hand and stroked her head, and in a fragile voice she said
Where've you been...
No I'm just not myself when you're away
