Trying to keep myself in line

Canzone che amo.
Comunque cantare Dylan senza scivolare nella voce nasale è un’impresa degna di nota.

COVER OF: The Times They Are A-Changin’
ORIGINAL BY: Bob Dylan
ALBUM: The Times They Are A-Changin’ (1964)

Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it is ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.

Enjoy.

COVER OF: In The Sun
ORIGINAL BY: Joseph Arthur
ALBUM: Come to Where I’m From (2000)

I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
But I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You cant keep awake

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

’cause if I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
If I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
You

I don’t know anymore
What its for
Im not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
cause I been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe youre not even sure what its for
Any more than me

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

A dispetto del testo io amo il bluegrass. L’idea sarebbe quella di dare alla canzone un arrangiamento bluegrass, prima o poi. Spero che il banjoman non corra a nascondersi. xD

TITLE: I Won’t Sing Your Bluegrass
YEAR: 2008

You can’t convince me, oh no
I won’t sing your bluegrass song
It’s not my music, it doesn’t speak to my soul
I’ll just get back to my rock’n'roll
You’re annoying as a summer school class
I won’t ever sing your bluegrass
never never never

You can’t convince me, oh no
I won’t sing your bluegrass song
You’ve never felt the rhythm or learnt the beat
You could rather sell peanuts on these streets
You’re really annoying as a broken piece of glass
I won’t ever sing your bluegrass
never never never

(instrumental solo)

You can’t convince me, oh no
I will NEVER sing your bluegrass song
It’s not my music, it doesn’t speak to my soul
I’ll just get back to my rock’n'roll
You’re annoying as a summer school class
I won’t ever sing your bluegrass
never never never
