en hüzünlü, en melankolik renklerle boyamış bu tabloyu nick abi.
Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stock is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.
Forgotten while you're here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.
Life is but a memory
Happened long ago.
Theatre full of sadness
For a long forgotten show.
Seems so easy
Just to let it go on by
Till you stop and wonder
Why you never wondered why.
Safe in the womb
Of an everlasting night
You find the darkness can
Give the brightest light.
Safe in your place deep in the earth
That's when they'll know what you were really worth.
Forgotten while you're here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.
Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stock is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.
Fruit tree, fruit tree
No-one knows you but the rain and the air.
Don't you worry
They'll stand and stare when you're gone.
Fruit tree, fruit tree
Open your eyes to another year.
They'll all know
That you were here when you're gone.
hem komik, hem düşündürücü, hem eğlenceli hem de hüzünlü bir the kinks şarkısı. insanlık olarak geldiğimiz noktaya bir özet niteliğinde yaklaşılmış, yazıldığı altmışlı yılların üstüne bir kırk yıl daha eklenince çok daha iyi anlaşılmış bir şarkı olsa gerek.
sözler;
i think i'm sophisticated 'cos i'm living my life like a good homo sapiens
but all around me everybody's multiplying and they're walking round like flies man
so i'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo man
'cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
i am an ape man
i think i'm so educated and i'm so civilized 'cos i'm a strict vegetarian
but with the over-population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians
i don't feel safe in this world no more
i don't wanna die in a nuclear war
i wanna sail away to a distant shore
and make like an ape man
i'm an ape man, i'm an ape ape man
i'm an ape man
i'm a king kong man i'm a voodoo man
i'm an ape man
'cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky
compared to the clouds as they roll by
compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
i am an ape man
in man's evolution he has created the city and the motor traffic rumble
but give me half a chance and i'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
'cos the only time that i feel at ease
is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
oh what a life of luxury
to be like an ape man
i'm an ape man, i'm an ape ape man
i'm an ape man
i'm a king kong man, i'm a voodoo man
i'm an ape man
i look out the window, but i can't see the sky
'cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes
i want to get out of this city alive
and make like an ape man
come on and love me, be my ape man girl
and we'll be so happy in my ape man world
i'm an ape man, i'm an ape ape man
i'm an ape man
i'm a king kong man, i'm a voodoo man
i'm an ape man
i'll be your tarzan, you'll be my jane
i'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
and we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
just like an ape man
i'm an ape man, i'm an ape ape man
i'm an ape man
i'm a king kong man, i'm a voodoo man
i'm an ape man
i don't feel safe in this world no more
i don't wanna die in a nuclear war
i wanna sail away to a distant shore
and make like an ape man
acıdır. bağımlılığın son safhasında tüketilir. farkında olmadan ağzınıza götürüp ateşlediğiniz sigara, bu sigaradır işte.
sonu kolay kolay gelmez. peşi sıra yakılması muhtemeldir. ağız zaten büyük bir karmaşa içindeyken, bu refleks sigarasıyla birlikte bilincini kaybeder.
1940'lardan, bir rodgers&hart bestesi. şimdiye kadar türlü türlü cazcı kendi yorumunu yapmış, katmıştır. ilk olarak higher and higher isimli bir müzikalde frank sinatra seslendirmiş. benim favorim miles davis yorumudur..
buyrun sözleri;
once i laughed when i heard you saying
that id be playing solitaire
uneasy in my easy chair
it never entered my mind
and once you told me i was mistaken
that id awaken with the sun
and ordered orange juice for one
it never entered my mind
you had what i lack, myself
now i even have to scratch my back myself
once you warned me that if you scorned me
id say a lonely prayer again
and wish that you were there again
to get into my hair again
it never entered my mind
once you warned me that if you scorned me
id say a lonely prayer again
and wish that you were there again
to get into my hair again
it never entered my mind
bu şarkı, sanırım tüm müzik tarihinin en etkileyici şarkılarından biri.
bitmek bilmeyen yaylıları, melodisi, çığlık atarcasına mırıldanmaları ve düzenlemesiyle, gerçekten müthiş bir çalışma.
sözleri de bir o kadar can alıcı.
dikkat edin.
i bit my tongue
i never talked too much
i tried to be so strong
i did my best
i used the gentle touch
i've done it for so long
you put me down
but i can laugh it off
and act like nothing's wrong
but why pretend
i think i've heard enough
of your familiar song
i tell you what i'm going to do
i'll try to take my mind off you
and now that you don't need my help
i'll use the time to think about myself
you're not aware
of what you put me through
but now the feeling's gone
but i don't mind
do what you have to do
you don't fool anyone
i'll tell you what i'm going to do
i'll take a different point of view
and now that you don't need my help
i'll use the time to think about myself
the definition of friendship
apparently ought to be
showing support for the one that you love
and i was open to friendship
but you didn't seem to have any to spare
while you were riding to vanity fair
there was a time
when every day was young
the sun would always shine
we sang along
when all the songs were sung
believing every line
that's the trouble with friendship
for someone to feel it
it has to be real or it wouldn't be right
and i keep hoping for friendship
but i wouldn't dare to presume it was there
while you were riding to vanity fair.
ağırlıkla folk, biraz caz, biraz da blues ve soul ile kavrulmuş bir müziğe sahip, rahmetli iskoç adam.
fingerstyle tekniğinde çok başarılıdır, ekibindeki müzikal uyum anında kulağınıza çalınır.
canlı performansı da harikadır. enteresan sesini genelde bir adet gitar, bir adet kontrbas ve sarhoşluğunu boşaltmak için kullandığı bir adet kovayla birleştirir. di. rahmetli oldu. 2009'da.
ayrıca albüm ile ismini paylaşan enstrümantal şarkı da bir james bond filmi için yazılmış, fakat filmin yapımcıları -her nedense- şarkıyı filme uygun bulmadıkları için kullanmamışlardır. *
şarkı listesini de verelim;
1. wouldn't it be nice
2. you still believe in me
3. that's not me
4. don't talk (put your head on my shoulder)
5. i'm waiting for the day
6. let's go away for awhile
7. sloop john b.
8. god only knows
9. i know there's an answer
10.here today
11. i just wasn't made for these times
12. pet sounds
13. caroline, no
14. hang on to your ego
miles davis'ten. kind of blue albümünden. keraneciler yüz yıl sonraki maç başlıklarını aça dursunlar, şu güne kadar kimse yazmamış. o da güzel. her şey çok güzel.
oasis'in dig out your soul isimli albümünün ikinci şarkısı. albümün ilk şarkısı bag it up'a uyumlu bir şekilde bu şarkıya geçiliyor, ufak bir davul solosu ve arkasından gelen gitarlar, ve tabii, son olarak liam*'ın sesini de duyduk mu hadi bakalım diyoruz.
şarkı dig out your soul'un genel havasına uyumlu olarak yine midtempo. şarkıdaki klavye kullanımı, efetkler dikkat çekiyor.
eh, tabii sözler;
eyes over the city
rise up from your soul
they hang over the streets at night
brought on by the cold
we live with the numbers
mining a dream for the same old song
what hope for the turning
if everything you know is wrong
so come on, shake your rag doll, baby
before you change your mind
then come on, when the rapture takes me
be the fallen angel by my side
if you carry the lantern
i'll carry you home
you search for the disappeared
i'll bury the cold
yours is a messiah
mine is a dream and it won't be long
no hope for the journey
if no-one ever sees the dawn
so come on, shake your rag doll, baby
before you change your mind
then come on, when the rapture takes me
will you be by my side?
then come on, when the rapture takes me
be the fallen angel by my side
so come on, shake your rag doll, baby
before you change your mind
then come on, when the rapture takes me
will you be by my side?
hey come on, shake your rag doll, baby
before you change your mind
then come on, when the rapture takes me
be the fallen angel by my side
oasis'in 6 ekim 2008 çıkış tarihli dig out your soul albümünün açılış şarkısı. ilk olarak gözümüze* çarpanlar; oasisin o bildik sert ve tiz gitar tonları yerini daha yumuşak tonlara bırakmış, yine alıştığımız yüksek tempo yerini midtempoya bırakmış, vokallerde çeşitlilik eskiye nazaran çok daha fazla, iki, hatta üç sesler duyulmakta. zaten bu yazdıklarım albümün genel havasını da yansıtır nitelikte; yani albüm genel olarak bu havadan hiç çıkmıyor, belli bir uyum arz ediyor.
neyse, sözleri de yazalım mı?
gold and silver and sunshine is rising up,
pour yourself another cup of lady grey.
take my hand in the meantime, when you've had enough,
you'll find me on the end of a runway, babe.
tell the world that you love them in a melody,
send my old piano and a telegram.
gotta get me a doctor with a remedy.
i'm gonna take a walk with the monkey man!
someone tell me i'm dreaming,
the freaks are rising up through the floor.
everything i believe in is
telling me that i want more, more, mooore.
lay your love on the fire when you come on in,
i got my hee-bee-jee-bees in a hidden bag.
tell me what you desire and we'll bag it up.
high.

oasis'in 6 ekim 2008 tarihinde çıkacak şimdilik son albümü.
tracklisti verelim hemen;
bag it up the turning
waiting for the rapture
the shock of the lightning
i'm outta time

ain't got nothin'
the nature of reality
soldier on
albüm çıkacak dedik ama, biz indirdik dinledik. şimdilik bilindik oasis sound'undan çok uzak olduğunu, farklı bir oasis dinlediğimizi belirtelim, detaylara bir ara nasıl olsa gireriz.
off off. paul mccartney'nin 1980 tarihli tug of war albümünün iki numaralı şarkısıdır. bildiğin elektronik düzenlemeye sahiptir. sözleri ise kırıp geçer. ne şamatacı adam şu macca da yahu.

stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever,
never seeing no one nice again like you,
mama you, mama you.
if i ever get out of here,
thought of giving it all away
to a registered charity.
all i need is a pint a day
if i ever get out of here.
well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun,
and the first one said to the second one there i hope you're having fun.
band on the run, band on the run.
and the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one
for the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run
well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh seeing no one else had come,
and a bell was ringing in the village square for the rabbits on the run.
band on the run, band on the run.
and the jailer man and sailor sam, were searching every one
for the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run
well, the night was falling as the desert world began to settle down.
in the town they're searching for us every where, but we never w ill be found.
band on the run, band on the run
and the county judge, who held a grudge
will search for evermore
for the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run.

I'd like to be somebody else and not know where I've been
I'd like to build myself a house out of plasticine
Shake along with me
I've been driving in my car with my friend Mr. Soft
Mr. Clean and Mr.Ben are living in my loft
Shake along with me
I'm sorry but I just don't know
I know I said I told you so
But when you're happy and you're feeling fine
Then you'll know it's the right time
It's the right time
To shake along with me
Mister Sifter sold me songs
when I was just sixteen
Now he stops at traffic lights
but only when they're green
oasis'in 1994 tarihli definitely maybe albümünün açılış şarkısıdır. rock and roll gitar riffleri, aceleci davullar, bünyede kıskançlığa sebep liam* vokali adamı düpediz gaza getirir, roket gibi fırlatır. yoksa revolver gibi mi demeli?
noel'in* de dediği gibi, akşamına rock'n roll yıldızı olmuşlardır. ne de hoş olmuşlardır.
buyrun sözleri;
I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and I drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and I drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Youre not down with who I am
Look at you now youre all in my hands tonight
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Its just rock n roll
Its just rock n roll
Its just rock n roll
Its just rock n roll
Its just rock n roll
Its just rock n roll
Its just rock n roll
Its just rock n roll
