Alannah sul velluto.... nero


La canzone di oggi è stata passata subito dopo i Rolling Stones pubblicati ieri. E' una di quelle canzoni degli anni ottanta che avrò ascoltato 1000 volte senza ricordarmi mai il titolo o la cantante ma che fa davvero tanto anni ottanta come piace a me. Stavolta però.... avevo Shazam e almeno a questa ho potuto dare un nome e una voce. Si intitola "Black Velvet" ed è cantata da Alannah Myles che l'ha incisa nel 1989 nell'omonimo album. Buon ascolto e buon sabato!Black Velvet (Alannah Myles)Mississippi in the middle of a dry spellJimmy Rogers on the Victrola up highMama’s dancin’ with baby on her shoulderthe sun is settin’ like molasses in the skythe boy could sing, knew how to move, everythingalways wanting more, he’d leave you longing forBlack velvet and that little boy’s smileblack velvet with that slow southern stylea new religion that’ll bring ya to your kneesblack velvet if you pleaseUp in Memphis the music’s like a heatwavewhite lightning, bound to drive you wildMama’s baby’s in the heart of every school girl“Love me tender” leaves ‘em cryin’ in the aislethe way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and truealways wanting more, he’d leave you longing forBlack velvet and that little boy’s smileblack velvet with that slow southern stylea new religion that’ll bring ya to your kneesblack velvet if you pleaseEvery word of every song that he sang was for youin a flash he was goneit happened so soon, what couldyou do?Black velvet and that little boy’s smileblack velvet with that slow southern stylea new religion that’ll bring ya to your kneesblack velvet if you pleaseBlack velvet and that little boy’s smileblack velvet with that slow southern stylea new religion that’ll bring ya to your kneesblack velvet if you pleaseif you please, if you please, if you please”
