1a canzone al giorno

Tom & Johnny

Oggi siamo alla vigilia di primavera e il tempo sembra non essersene accorto. Mah... Speriamo bene per i prossimi giorni. Da qualche giorno mi è ritornata in mente una vecchia canzone di Tom Petty che negli anni Ottanta veniva passata spesso su quella che si chiamava Video Music (oggi MTV) e ho deciso di metterla nel blog (per la sicura gioia di Vincent). Ho scoperto così che il protagonista del video è un giovanissimo Johnny Depp più o meno del periodo in cui aveva fatto il telefilm (oggi serie TV) 21 Jump Street che credo abbiamo visto in 3 in Italia, io, Vincent e il direttore di Italia 1 dell'epoca. Buon giovedì Santo.

Into the great wide open (Tom Petty)

Eddie waited til' he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open

They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a night club he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the chart
The sky was the limit

His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
