1a canzone al giorno

Si può parlare d'estate il 29 ottobre? Anche si! Soprattutto se per la canzone di oggi il vostro Cartman72 ha deciso di mettere "Summer of '69" di Bryan Adams. E' una delle mie preferite del cantante canadese, seconda solo a "Heaven" che prima o poi metterò. Sono le canzoni del periodo che io definisco "boscaiolo" di Bryan Adams, quando aveva le sue belle camicie a scacchi. Negli ultimi anni si è un po' "infighettato" con le sue camicine aderenti e l'ho un po' perso di vista. Comunque sia... Buona domenica!!

Summer of '69 (Bryan Adams)

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
But when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you - ya

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no...

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about ya'n wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69...
