1a canzone al giorno

Una voce per Marvin

Da un paio di giorni ho ricominciato ad ascoltare le vecchie puntate di Deegiallo, il programma condotto da Carlo Lucarelli su Radio Deejay basato sui misteri della musica e non solo. Una delle puntate che ho ascoltato era quella su Marvin Gaye che, come tante star americane, ha pagato da adulto un'inganzia dura e difficile. Tralasciando gli aspetti di cronaca passiamo a quelli musicali che poi sono quelli che interessano questo blog. Ho sentito 5-6 pezzi e uno di questi è "I heard it through the grapevine" un brano del 1968 molto molto famoso. E' la canzone del giorno. Buon ascolto e buon sabato.

I heard it through the grapevine (Marvin Gaye)

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew 
'bout you're plans to make me blue 
with some other guy that you knew before. 
Between the two of us guys 
you know I love you more. 
It took me by surprise I must say, 
when I found out yesterday. 
Don't you know that... 

I heard it through the grapevine 
not much longer would you be mine. 
Oh I heard it through the grapevine, 
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. 
Honey, honey yeah. 

I know that a man ain't supposed to cry, 
but these tears I can't hold inside. 
Losin' you would end my life you see, 
cause you mean that much to me. 
You could have told me yourself 
that you love someone else. 
Instead... 

I heard it through the grapevine 
not much longer would you be mine. 
Oh I heard it through the grapevine, 
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. 
Honey, honey yeah. 

People say believe half of what you see, 
son, and none of what you hear. 
I can't help bein' confused 
if it's true please tell me dear? 
Do you plan to let me go 
for the other guy you loved before? 
Don't you know... 

I heard it through the grapevine 
not much longer would you be mine. 
Oh I heard it through the grapevine, 
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. 
Honey, honey yeah.
