1a canzone al giorno

In questi giorni ho letto un libro bellissimo dal titolo "Cadrò sognando di volare" di Fabio Genovesi. Una storia che gira intorno a Marco Pantani e che per colonna sonora ha i Doors. Si, perchè i libri possono avere anche una colonna sonora. Ho scelto quindi per oggi un brano proprio dei Doors di Jim Morrison e visto che il libro l'ho finito la canzone del giorno è "The end" iuncisa nel 1966 e pubblicata nell'album di esordio del gruppo dal titolo appunto "The Doors". Ho scelto la versione ridotta del "Greatest Hits" che dira "solo" sei minuti e spiccioli. L'originale dura oltre 11 minuti. Buon ascolto e buon inizio settimana.

The end (The Doors)

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of everything that stands
The end

No safety or surprise
The end
I’ll never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger’s hand
In a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain
There’s danger on the edge of town
Ride the king’s highway
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway West, baby

Ride the snake
Ride the snake
To the lake
To the lake

The ancient lake, baby
The snake is long
Seven miles
Ride the snake

He’s old
And his skin is cold
The West is the best
The West is the best
Get here and we’ll do the rest

The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where are you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door
And he looked inside
Father?
Yes, son?
I want to kill you
Mother, I want to…

Come on, yeah

Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Fuck, fuck
Kill, kill, kill…

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end

It hurts to set you free
But you’ll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end
