@hawkie: da hast du ja schon die schärfste ballade der luftschmiede gebracht - dann packe ich mal einen der pompösesten schmachtlappen von AEROSMITH dazu:
AMAZING
I kept the right ones out and let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life when I was going insane
Tryin` to walk through the Pain
When I lost my grip and I hit the floor
Yeah I thought I could leave but couldn`t get out the door
I was so sick and tired of livin a lie
I was wishing that I would die
Chorus:
It`s amazing, with the blink of an eye
you finally see the light
It`s amazing, when the moment arrives
that you know you`ll be allright
It`s amazing, and I`m saying a prayer
for the desperate hearts tonight
The one last shot`s a permanent vacation
and how high can you fly with broken wings ?
Life`s a journey not a destination
and I just can`t tell just not what
tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl before You have to learn to walk
But I just couldn`t listen to all that righteous talk
I was out in the street
Just trying to survive
scratchin` to stay alive
Chorus:
It`s amazing, with the blink of an eye
you finally see the light
It`s amazing, when the moment arrives
that you know you`ll be allright
It`s amazing, and I`m saying a prayer
for the desperate hearts tonight
und als gegenstück noch mein lieblingssong - ein kracher aus der frühphase:
KINGS AND QUEENS
long ago in days untold
were ruled by lords of greed
maidens fared with gold they dared
to bare their wombs that bleed
kings and queens and guillotines
taking lives denied
starch and parchment laid the laws
when bishops took the ride
only to deceive
oh I know I
lived this life afore
somehow I know now
truths I must be sure
tossin´, turnin´, nightmares burnin´
dreams of swords in hand
sailing ships, the Viking spits
the blood of father´s land
only to deceive
living times of knights and mares
raising swords for maidens fair
sneer at death, fear only loss of pride
living other centuries
deja vu or what you please
follows true to all who do or die
screams of no reply
they died
screams of no reply
and died
died
lordy, lordy, they died

Klaus Voormann war gerade bei Beckmann
Keine Angst, ich schreibe jetzt keine Abhandlung über ihn ist auch nicht nötig, er hat selbst ein Buch geschrieben (Ihr könnt ja auch googlen )
Aus diesem Anlass aber einen Song von George Harrison, dessen Todestag sich bald zum dritten Mal jährt. Das ist meines Wissens der Song der Beatles, der am häufigsten gecovert wurde (noch vor Yesterday)
Beatles - Something
Album: Abbey Road
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don`t want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don`t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don`t want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
You`re asking me will my love grow
I don`t know, I don`t know
You stick around now it may show
I don`t know, I don`t know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
Don`t want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

Dream On • Aerosmith (Fffffff )
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin` clearer
Fffffff... the past has gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn`t that the way
Everybody`s got their dues in life to pay
Yeah... I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it`s everybody`s sin
You got to lose to know... how to win
Half my life`s in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it`s true
All the things come back to you
Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it`s just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Well... sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it`s just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away... ahh
Dream on... dream on... dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on... dream on... dream on
And dream until your dream comes true
Dream on... dream on... dream on... dream on
Dream on... dream on... dream on... aaahhh...

linea, das mit den Stones war ja nur ein Auswahl im Hinblick auf diese Emotion-Love-Song-lyrics . Fand das gut ,dass im Zshg, und jetzt iss ja auch schon gut
Stairway to heaven war noch nicht vorher
da triefts ja nur so ..., voll von musikalischem Süsszeug

Irgendwie kam mir heute „Another Brick in The Wall“ in den Sinn ...
Wish You Were Here
(Waters, Gilmour)
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We`re just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Iguana, ich frage mich auch die ganze Zeit, was eine Abhandlung über die Stones mit diesem Thread zu tun hat.
Ach ja... ich höre gerade time machine von beggars opera (den Text finde ich leider im Net nicht)... also nur die Erwähnung hier - und die Erinnerung...

@bine: cream haben wirklich einige große songs hinterlassen. neben "white room" und "badge" war "sunshine of your love" immer mein lieblingssong.
@linea: eine großartige melodie die runrig da zusammengeklöppelt haben - ein echter ohrwurm.
@fixbutte: ist ja schon eine ganze menge was du da in sachen stones zusammengetragen hast - hast du schon mal daran gedacht die in einem separaten stonesthread zusammenzufassen und immer mal wieder fortzusetzen. es gibt ja einige stoneshardcorefans bei w:o, die in so einem thread sicher auch noch einiges zusteuern werden.
eine vision über die liebe in der zukunft hatten sich A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS ausgemalt. hoffen wir mal, dass es nicht so weit kommt...
A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS
MODERN LOVE IS AUTOMATIC
She`s an automatic,
He`s a cosmic man,
They will get together.
They should know better by now.
They meet in a garden
Down in old Japan
Where young love`s forbidden,
You`ve got to keep it hidden.
Modern love is automatic,
Modern love is automatic.
Modern love is automatic,
Modern love is automatic.
They locked him away
For twenty years they say.
You won`t see him again,
But I know diff`rent.
Modern love is automatic,
Modern love is automatic,
Modern love is automatic,
Modern love is automatic,
Modern love is automatic,
Modern love is
automatic,
automatic,
automatic,
automatic,
automatic,
automatic,
automatic.

Ergänzende Worte zu den Stones (Teil 5)
Die frühen Stones – zu #1124 Time is on my Side und #1121 Heart of Stone von Sofakles und #643 Cry to Me von Missy
Auf den frühen Platten (1963 – 65) spielten die Stones – wie alle damaligen „Beat Bands“ – Tanzmusik (auf den deutschen Plattenlabels waren zu jedem Titel der richtige Tanz angegeben, Slow Fox, Limbo usw. ) und vor allem Coverversionen von schwarzer Musik. Die erste Single Come On vom Juni 1963 war z.B. von Chuck Berry ,
ebenso zwei Titel der ersten LP vom April 1964, die auf dem Front Cover ohne Schrift auskam und keinen Namen hatte. Andere Stücke waren z.B.von Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Marvin Gaye und Rufus Thomas.
Auch die zweite LP vom Januar 1965, hatte nur ein Gruppenfoto (von David Bailey) auf dem Front Cover. Sie enthält neben Songs von Chuck Berry (wieder zwei), Otis Redding, Muddy Waters, Solomon Burke und den Drifters auch
#1124 Time is on my Side, im Original von Irma Thomas , eine Soulnummer, die die Stones verlangsamten und in texanischem Akzent brachten. Das Stück wurde in den USA auch als Single herausgebracht (die englischen Alben enthielten keine Singletitel).
#643 Cry to Me war ebenfalls nachgespielt und kam in Original von Solomon Burke (1962) .
Das Stück war auf der dritten englischen LP mit dem Titel Out of Our Heads vom September 1965.
(Verwirrend ist, dass die LP mit diesem Titel, aber einem anderen Cover in den USA schon die vierte LP war, während sich das englische Cover auf der fünften US-LP December’s Children wiederfand).
Ebenso auf Out of Our Heads war #1121 Heart of Stone, das viele für die Coverversion eines unbekannten Soulsongs hielten, den die Stones aber selbst geschrieben haben. Da Sofakles hier bisher nur den Titel gepostet hat, will ich den Text mal nachtragen
The Rolling Stones - Heart Of Stone
Jagger/Richards
There`s been so many girls that I`ve known,
I`ve made so many cry, and still I wonder why,
Here comes a little girl, I see her walkin` down the street,
She`s all by herself, I try to knock her off her feet,
`Cause you`ll never break, never break, never break, never break,
This heart of stone, oh no, no, this heart of stone darlin`.
What`s different about her I don`t really know,
No matter how I try, I just can`t make her cry.
`Cause you`ll never break, never break, never break, never break,
This heart of stone, oh no, no, this heart of stone darlin`.
Don`t keep on lookin` that same old way,
If you try actin` sad, you`ll only make me glad
Better listen little girl, If you goin` walkin` down the street
I ain`t got no love, I ain`t the kind to meet
`Cause you`ll never break, never break, never break, never break,
This heart of stone, oh no, no, this heart of stone darlin`.

Title: Sunshine Of Your Love
By eric clapton, jack bruce and pete brown
It`s getting near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I`ll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I`ll be with you darling soon,
I`ll be with you when the stars start falling.
I`ve been waiting so long
To be where i`m going
In the sunshine of your love.
I`m with you my love,
The light`s shining through on you.
Yes, i`m with you my love,
It`s the morning and just we two.
I`ll stay with you darling now,
I`ll stay with you till my seas are dried up.
Chorus
Second verse
I`ve been waiting so long
I`ve been waiting so long
I`ve been waiting so long
To be where i`m going
In the sunshine of your love.

und ich schrecke vor gar nichts zurück
gerade im Autoradio gehört (mit Frank Laufenberg, den ich ebenfalls seit Jahren nicht mehr gehört hatte, jetzt SWR 1)
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven...................
(Page/Plant)
There`s a lady who`s sure all that glitters is gold
And she`s buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she`s buying a stairway to heaven.
There`s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
`Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there`s a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There`s a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it`s whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there`s a bustle in your hedgerow, don`t be alarmed now,
It`s just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There`s still time to change the road you`re on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won`t go, in case you don`t know,
The piper`s calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she`s buying a stairway to heaven.
