Ich werde es versuchen. Mich hat bisher bei UT neben der stark Country/Alternative Folk-lastigen Musik vor allem gestört, dass Tweedy noch nicht mal die Hälfte der Stücke singt. Hmmm, „A.M.“ war doch im Prinzip UT ohne Farrar, oder? Das mag ich nämlich auch nicht. Mal schauen.

Keep on poppin' in the free world!

Ja, mach mal. Ich mag Farrars Stimme wesentlich lieber als Tweedys. Aber ich bin ja auch der Meinung, das seine Songs die besseren sind (daran scheidet sich aber die Zuhörerschaft ebenso wie bei Stones vs. Beatles). Die „A.M.“ finde ich extrem einfallsarm, da hat Tweedy die „Rockriff-Haudrauf-Songs“ verbraten, die er bei UT bis auf wenige Ausnahmen nicht los geworden ist. Ansonsten ist bei UT nur auf der letzten Platte (Anodyne) ein „A.M.“-Stück zu finden, der Rest (auch der anderen Tweedy-Songs ) ist besser.

The king of pop is gone to jail but not forgotten.

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, anymore.

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I want to see light
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because It's not my home, It's their home
And I'm welcome no more.

And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side, such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure and the privilege is mine.

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere I don't care I don't care I don't care
And in the darkened underpass I thought oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask.
Take me out tonight
Take anywhere I don't care I don't care I don't care
Just driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, Oh Lord
No I haven't got one.

There is a light that never goes out…

The Smiths – There is a light that never goes out…

Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing and
Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountain and
Wander through the forest
Where the the trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors
That no one knows the names of

And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain
Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jewelled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another

I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic
And then she'll know the things I learned
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow

Mein Lieblingslied von den Byrds – und der Text schreit geradezu „Hippie“.

Black Sheep Boy (Tim Hardin)

Here I am back home again
I'm here to rest
All they ask is where I've been
Knowing I've been West.
I'm the family's unknown boy
Golden curls and envied hair
Pretty girls with faces fair
See the shining Black Sheep Boy.

If you love me, let me live in peace.
Please understand,
That the black sheep can wear the golden fleece,
And hold a winning hand.

I'm the family's unknown boy
Golden curls and envied hair
Pretty girls with faces fair
See the shining Black Sheep Boy.

Scott Walker interpretiert es hinreißend.

Wie wäre es denn hiermit? (Hoffe, das hat noch keiner gepostet, aber auf 12 Seiten Durchlesen hatte ich jetzt auf die Schnelle einfach keine Lust.)

A CASE OF YOU (Joni Mitchell)

Just before our love got lost you said,
„I am as constant as a northern star.“
And I said, „Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar.“
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me, you said,
„Love is touching souls“
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Still, I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said,
„Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed“
Oh but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

A CASE OF YOU (Joni Mitchell)

Es gibt eine schöne Piano-Version des Liedes von Tori Amos (ich weiß, Geschmacksache), die gefällt mir fast besser als das Original.

Von „A Case Of You“ gibt's sogar eine ganze Reihe von Cover-Versionen (u.a. auch von Phoebe Snow und Betty Buckley – und Diana Krall und Prince sollen's auch mal gesungen haben). Aber am Text ändert das ja nichts.

Oh, das klingt interessant – mal sehen, ob ich die finde.. und hier noch ein Text von einem tollem Farrar-Lied:

Barstow
:::::::

by Jay Farrar

Anyone caught speaking Esperanto
Is thought crazy or headed for jail
There's peace in the wilds of west Texas
Where the sun and the sky prevail

Take no notice of the rising waters
Take no notice where the rivers run dry
They'll be diggin through the landfills
To find evidence of our great demise

CHORUS
There's a changing pattern before us
And the past tells the story quite well
By the time we make it to Barstow
We'll be more than halfway to hell

Waves of adverts that promise revival
Trick it where it batters the brain
The devil bought the key to Branson
Drives a backhoe and wears a gold chain

Now we're living in the unnamed time frame
That's in Reno we're on the human race
Woke up in another test market
With a new headache filter in place

CHORUS

By the time we make it to Barstow
We'll be more than halfway to hell

aus Nach dem Happy End von Gerd Köster

Es gibt keinen der für dich erkennt
ob eine Wahrheit zu bitter
ein Geheimnis zu süss
und wie der Film weitergeht
nach dem Happy End.

I'm a cork on the ocean
Floating over the raging sea
How deep is the ocean?
I lost my way

I'm a rock in a landslide
Rolling over the mountainside
How deep is the valley?
It kills my soul

I'm a leaf on a windy day
Pretty soon I'll be blown away
How long will the wind blow?

Until I die

Brian Wilson

Ben Kweller – Living Life

The greenest trees you'll ever see
are the ones in your mind.
And all the answers and the dreams
will come to you in time

Yeah, you are living life
the way you feel

I know the world around you,
everyone shares the sky
You never see darkness
you are the daylight

Yeah, you are living life
the way you feel

Go away with a smile
Don't forget about you past
Don't keep yourself from giving
I am always watching you
be yourself and stayin true
cause it makes me feel like life's worth living.

The way you feel.

I've never minded where you're going
I know that change is a part of you
I'm not gonna hide anymore, I'm gonna listen to myself
and maybe one day I can be real too

Yeah, you are living life
Yeah you are, your are living life
Don't you know, that you are living life
the way you feel
sad that is real

hybrid and slinky – stuck on you:

I'm sitting at the front of my feelings/
sitting on the an chair/
The Pain still burns deep in my heart/
Can't understand what you've done to me/

Chorus: You can't imagine/
I'm walkin through/
Stuck on you/

Now I try to forget your name/
But everything I can – is remembering our game/
What we all want and what we all get is nothing/
The only thing what count ist that I'm stuck on you/

Chorus

Sometimes I'm thinking 'bout the past/
Things that we miss, do the first or at last/
Sometimes I'm sad 'bout the past/
But everybody failse and tomorrow the past is gone/

Chorus

I'm trying to move – or anything/
But I can't get forward to reach your love/
smashing my heart like splittering wood/
stuck on you babe/

noch einer: der heißt „schools over“. Habe kein ahnung von wem, wann und wie.

Got my PED-Card/
My Teacher is a fag/
and I got a big big rifle/
to shoot them all in the bag/

Entweder meint er mit Bag Rucksarg oder den eigentlichen Rücken

What is it waht you've got in your hand?/
What you've got is in my pant/
Do you know what shit is?/
Shit is what Brad Pitt is/
I don't like the misfits and Melanie Griffith/
