.
Dann bleibe ich auch noch einmal beim Regen mit dem Hit der Rainbirds. Beeindruckend bereits zu Zeiten dieses Songs die Bühnenpräsenz von Frontfrau Katharina Franck.







Blueprint

Rainbirds


I walk ahead alone
you tell me not to go so fast
but i am slower than you think
i am as careful as your touch
when you want me to relax
i am as serious as your looks
when you want me to believe
ooh
here is a blueprint of your past
here is a blueprint of your destiny
i walk ahead alone
you tell me not to go so fast
i sneak around the corner
with a blueprint my lover
with a blueprint of my life
i should better run for cover
I walk ahead alone
you tell me never ever leave me
but i am already gone
i am further than the wall
you have built around your future
and i am higher than the tower
you climb in a suicidal mood
ooh
here is a blueprint of your past
here is a blueprint of your destiny
that all there is of you
and thats all there is of me
i sneak around the corner
with a blueprint of my lover
with a blueprint of my life
i should better run for cover

…mit dem regenschirm hat denn cockney mir auch noch eine vorlage geliefert für einen weiteren alten favoriten von Mellencamp... „Rain On The Scarecrow“…

-----------------------------------------JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP-----------------------------------------


-----------------------RAIN ON THE SCARECROW-----------------------

Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I`m just sorry there`s no legacy for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow

The crops we grew last summer weren`t enough to pay the loans
Couldn`t buy the seed to plant this spring and the
Farmers Bank foreclosed
Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land
He said John it`s just my job and I hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol` hoss sure don`t make it right
But if you want me to I`ll say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandma`s on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand
Sometimes I hear her singing "Take me to the Promised Land"
When you take away a man`s dignity he can`t
work his fields and cows

There`ll be blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow

Well there`s ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard
Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms
I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name
And some nights I feel like dyin` Like that scarecrow in the rain

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I`m just sorry they`re just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I`m just sorry they`re just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow

@missy: jau – das war für mich auch ne nette überraschung. Bei meiner suche nach bildern von Mindy zusammen mit den Hooters bin ich auf ihrer homepage darüber gestolpert, dass sie auch in der liveband von Mellencamp gespielt hat. das war mir bisher neu. Schön dass du ihn aufgegriffen hast. neben „Small Town“, „Jack & Diane“ und „Hurts So Good“ war dies immer mein lieblingslied von ihm... – „Human Wheels“:..

-----------------------------------------JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP-----------------------------------------


------------------HUMAN WHEELS------------------

This land today, shall draw its last breath
And take into its ancient depths
This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self.
While I, with human-hindered eyes
Unequal to the sweeping curve of life,
Stand on this single print of time.

Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace.
Human wheels spin round and round
Help the light to my face.

That time, today, no triumph gains
At this short success of age.
This pale reflection of its brave and
Blundering deed.
For I, descend from this vault,
Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
Knowledge, sure, from the seed.

Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace.
Human wheels spin round and round
Help the light to my face.

This land, today, my tears shall taste
And take into its dark embrace.
This love, who in my beating heart endures,
Assured, by every sun that burns,
The dust to which this flesh shall return.
It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God.

Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace.
Human wheels spin round and round
Help the light to my face.
Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace.
Human wheels spin round and round
Help the light to my face.

Rebel, bei uns liegt auch was in der Luft. Hoffentlich fängts nicht gerade dann an, wenn ich mich auf die Heimfahrt begebe.

Beim ersten Anblick deines Pics kam mir mein Aufenthalt in Dubrovnik in den Sinn, wo ganze Gruppen von Japanerinnen - sowohl ältere als auch junge - zum Schutz ihres Porzellanteints nur mit Sonnenschirm unterwegs waren

Missy, ich glaub` es langsam wirklich nicht mehr...

Die Idee zum Posting kam heute morgen, nachdem es heute nacht gewittert hat wie selten. Wusste noch nicht, ob ich mit dem Bus zur Arbeit fahre ("Bus Stop", 100 Meter vor der Haustür) oder mit`m Golf - hab mich für letzteres entschieden und den "Umbrella" dann auf den Beifahrersitz gelegt. Ratzfatz war die Assoziation da - nur schade, dass ich das so übergangslos gepostet habe.

[MissB.Hagen]

Und es ist auch nur eine “Wild Night” – auch wenn ich bis jetzt immer “wild nights are calling” mitgesungen habe ….

Jetzt aber – voll konzentriert und hoffentlich fehlerfrei – einer seiner aktuelleren Songs, der sich, im Gegensatz zu den meisten seiner anderen Statements, nur verhalten auf sein Missfallen an den heutigen USA und am regierenden Ex-"Drunkard" bezieht:

WALK TALL
John Mellencamp

The simple minded
And the uninformed
Can be easily led astray
And those that cannot connect the dots
Hey look the other way
People believe what they want to believe
When it makes no sense at all
So be careful of those killing in Jesus`s name
He don`t believe in killing at all

Walk tall (keep on walkin`, keep on talkin`)
Yeah walk on (keep on walkin`, keep on talkin`)
Through this world
Walk tall

Somewhere out in the distance
Is the death of you and me
Even though we don`t think of it much
It`s still out there for us to see
If you treat your life like a bar room fight
You`ll die stinking of gin
No drunkards are allowed in heaven
No sinners will get in

Walk tall (keep on walkin`, keep on talkin`)
Yeah, walk on (keep on walkin`, keep on talkin`)
Walk tall (keep on walkin`, keep on talkin`)
Through this world
Walk tall

So be careful in what you believe in
There`s plenty to get you confused
And in this land called paradise
You must walk in many men`s shoes
Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all
Grace, mercy and forgiveness
Will help a man walk tall

So walk tall (keep on walkin`, keep on talkin`)
Yeah, walk on (keep on walkin`, keep on talkin`)
Walk tall (keep on walkin`, keep on talkin`)
Through this world
Through this world
Walk tall
Then walk on (keep on walkin`, Keep on walkin`)
(Repeat)

.... dürfte von der Temperatur und den Umständen abhängen .... so war der Satz zumindest geplant

Man sollte eben konzentriert bei einer Sache bleiben und nicht immer multitasken ....

Rebel, hats in Südschweden gewittert .... oder wie kommst du bei den derzeitigen Temperaturen auf einen Regenschirm

[MissB.Hagen]

Mysteriöse atmosphärische Schwingungen allüberall: Unlängst wollte ich „When Love Calls You By Your Name“ posten, einen meiner Fav`s von Leonard Cohen … und bis ich damit fertig war, hatte Rebel die Lyrics schon gebracht …..

… dann habe ich bei der Suche nach einem politischen Text auf der Homepage einer Band (Concrete Blonde) die ganzen Links zum politischen Engagement von Rocksängern verfolgt und bin zu meiner Freude auf John (Cougar) Mellencamp gestossen, der ja auch kein Blatt vor den Mund nimmt. Weil ich die Lyrics von „Hurts So Good“ schon vor langer Zeit hier gepostet habe, habe ich mir sein Album „Dance Naked“ vorgenommen … und was erlauschen meine Ohren in Iguanas Beitrag über die Hooters …. „Wild Nights“ natürlich ….



WILD NIGHTS
John Mellencamp

As you brush your shoes and stand before your mirror
And you comb your hair and grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember
All those wild nights breeze through your mind
And everything looks so complete
When you´re walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Oooh, oo-ooh wee the wild night is calling

All the girls walked by dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street
And the people passing by just stare with the wild wonder
And the inside jukebox roars just like thunder
And everything looks so complete
When you´re walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Oooh, oo-ooh wee the wild night is calling
The wild night is calling

Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance

And everything looks so complete
When you´re walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Oooh, oo-ooh wee the wild night is calling
Oooh, oo-ooh wee the wild night is calling

Wieviel man in solch wilden Nächten ablegt, dürfte von der Temperatur und den Umständen hängen ….



DANCE NAKED
John Mellencamp

I want you to dance naked
So I can see you
I´d like to get to know you
You don´t have to act naughty

Spin it round and round
Spin it round and round and round
I want you to dance naked
I promise I won´t touch you
I promise to tell no one, no
I want you to dance naked

Spin it round and round
Spin it round and round and round
Spin it round and round

I want you to dance naked
If you like i´ll join you
I want to enjoy your body
I want to hear all your secrets

I want to know if you like me
As much as I like you
I want you to dance naked
But only if you want to

Spin it round and round
Spin it round and round and round
Spin it round and round

I want you to dance naked
So I can see you
I´d like to get to know you
But only if you want to

Spin it round and round
Spin it round and round and round
Spin it round and round
Spin it round and round and round
I want you to dance naked

BUS STOP

The Hollies

Bus stop, wet day, she`s there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she`d shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That`s the way the whole thing started
Silly but it`s true
Thinkin` of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she`d shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she`s there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

...unglaublich übrigens welche unmenge an songs und hits Hooters sänger Eric Bazilian so im laufe der zeit geschrieben hat... nach Adam Riese müsste er so ziemlich für den rest seiner tage ausgesorgt haben - falls er sich nicht die falschen aktien oder immobilien hat andrehen lassen... hier eine liste seiner songs teilweise mit kurzen hörproben:
http://ericbazilian.com/songs1.html

...und hier noch die hörprobe einer coverversion des eben geposteten songs „Private Emotion“... gefällt mir überraschend gut – hätte echt nicht gedacht dass ausgerechnet Ricky Martin den song so brauchbar hinbekommt...
