1a canzone al giorno

Dal 2014 ho nelle bozze dei post da pubblicare il titolo "I drove all night" di Roy Orbison. Non ricordo nemmeno perchè. Probabilmente la sentii e la memorizzai per una eventuale futura pubblicazione. Penso che dopo giorni di novità più o meno.... ci siamo capiti... sia giunto il momento di pubblicarla. Cercando testo e video ho scoperto che Roy ha inciso il brano nel 1987, un anno prima di morire, ma la canzone è stata pubblicata, postuma, solo nel 1992 nell'album "King of hearts". Nel frattempo nel 1988 ne ha inciso una versione di successo Cindy Lauper a cui hanno fatto seguito diverse cover. In ogni caso anche se dopo Cindy, la versione originalre resta questa. Buon ascolto e buona domenica!

I drove all night (Roy Orbison)

I had to escape , the city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you

I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead
Uh-huh, yeah

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

What in this world keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where I go
I hear the beating of our one heart
I think about you when the night is cold and dark
Uh-huh, yeah

No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?

I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Is that all right?
I drove all night
