\"\"<\/a>Uno dei miei artisti preferiti in assoluto \u00e8 JJ Cale.<\/a> Lo \u00e8 per una marea di ragioni, dalla immobile bellezza delle sue canzoni al sofisticatissimo sound dei suoi brani, chiamato in suo onore The Tulsa Sound<\/em> – un mix davvero intricato di microparti a incastro: JJ cura personalmente registrazioni e missaggi dei suoi dischi. Mi piace da pazzi anche la sua voce, e spesso mi attirano i suoi testi, come questo che \u00e8 un inno totale – anche alla “maturit\u00e0”. Si chiama Days go by<\/em>, \u00e8 tratto dall’album Guitar Man<\/em> del ’96. Per ascoltarlo cliccate qui<\/a>: \u00e8 un video di Youtube, con immagini che non c’entrano nulla col testo, che invece dice:<\/p>\n

When you light that funny cigarette, would you pass it back to me?
\nI’m feeling a little down and out, it’ll keep me company
\nI’m just a long lost sinner living life here on the line
\nI’ll give it right back to you, I know it’s not really mine
\nNow don’t put it out, not right yet, it’s burning pretty good
\nMaybe I’ll have one more toke, you think I should?<\/p>\n

OO-oo, days go by
\nI just sit around and get real high
\nOO-oo, what a glow
\nI just hang out, they come and go<\/p>\n

Hey, the walls are starting to move, the floor is way down there
\nWhat a buzz it is, there’s electricity in the air
\nBoy, I’m feeling really gone, I’m feeling really cool
\nI think I’ll have another one, I’m just another fool
\nYou know they say it’s illegal, what isn’t these days
\nNo matter what you do there’ll be somebody on your case<\/p>\n

OO-oo, days go by
\nIt just seems like I sit around and get high
\nOO-oo, shame on me
\nThey’re going to put me in a penitentiary<\/p>\n

I must not be together, look at the shape I’m in
\nI just know people are saying “He’s looking awful thin”
\nI guess I can count my blessings though I’ve always been this way
\nI guess I’ll quit tomorrow, maybe another day<\/p>\n

OO-oo, days go by
\nI guess I’ll sit around and get real high<\/p>\n

You know time has no absolute, it’s a just seems like it’s spent
\nEverything has a tendency to be so warped and bent
\nWhile looking here and there I’m surprised to see
\nEverybody’s gone here, everybody’s gone but me<\/p>\n

OO-oo, days go by
\nI just sit around and get real high
\nOO-oo, what a glow
\nI just hang out, they come and go<\/p>\n

Dopo averlo ascoltato, se siete d’accordo con me che \u00e8 un grande, potete vedere questo fantastico pezzetto di video<\/a> in cui JJ mostra “the piece of machinery I earn my living with” (visibile anche nella foto): semplicemente meraviglioso.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
