Grand Old Opry

[Sleepless]

Lähde: Wikipedia

Grand Ole Opry on yhdysvaltalainen countrymusiikkiohjelma, jota lähettää Nashvillessä, Tenneseessä sijaitseva WSM-radioasema. Ohjelman ensimmäinen lähetys tapahtui 5. lokakuuta 1925 ja se on maailman pitkäikäisin radio-ohjelma.

Lähde: Wapedia

Nashvilleläisen radioaseman ylläpitämä elävän musiikin esityspaikka Grand Ole Opry perustettiin vuonna 1925, ja sieltä lähetetyt lauantai-illan konsertit toivat countryn tunnetuksi ja hälvensivät sen junttimaista mainetta.

Täällä: country, folk, bluegrass....

Päivänä muutamana kuulin Johnny Cashin "Bridge over troubled water".

Sitä ei löytynyt. Valitettavasti.

Tämä löytyi. (Hämärä mielikuva, että jossain ketjussa ollut...)

Johnny Cash: Hurt

Highwaymen

Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson

perform the Jimmy Webb song "Highwayman" live.

Filmed in March 1990 at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum.

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride

With sword and pistol by my side

Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade

Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade

The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five

But I am still alive.

I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide

And with the sea I did abide.

I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico

I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow

And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed

But I am living still.

I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide

Where steel and water did collide

A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado

I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below

They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound

But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and

around and around

I fly a starship across the Universe divide

And when I reach the other side

I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can

Perhaps I may become a highwayman again

Or I may simply be a single drop of rain

But I will remain

And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..

Long as she got the keys and there's a spare wheel in her trunk....

She loves my automobile

ZZ Top ja Willie Nelson

(ne vaan näytti niin hauskoilta parroissaan)

She don't love me, she love my automobile.

She don't love me, she love my automobile.

Well she would do anything just to slide behind the wheel.

She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?

She said what's it gonna take for you to lay your top on down?

I said honey why don't you ask me when we get to the outskirts of town.

Well now she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk.

Well she don't care if I'm stoned or sloppy drunk,

Long as she got the keys and there's a spare wheel in her trunk.

mutta siihen asti

You were always on my mind - Bon Jovi & Willie Nelson

(nämä lyriikat lienevät perua Elvikseltä)

Maybe I didnt treat you

Quite as good as I should have

Maybe I didnt love you

Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasnt died

Give me, give me one more chance

To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didnt hold you

All those lonely, lonely times

And I guess I never told you

Im so happy that youre mine

If I make you feel second best

Girl, Im sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasnt died

Give me, give me one more chance

To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind

You are always on my mind

You are always on my mind

I´ve always been crazy - Wylon Jennings

've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through

I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do

I can't say I’m proud of all of the things that I’ve done

But I can say I’ve never intentionally hurt anyone

I've always been different with one foot over the line

Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind

It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain

I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Beautiful lady are you sure that you understand

The chances your taking loving a free living man

Are you really sure you really want what you see

Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be

I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame

So far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change

I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

muistin countrymmaksi kuin olikaan, ja Lindalla oli lyhyempi tukka.

Ja dementia iski, en enää muista kenen politiikon kanssa hän heilasteli.

No jaa triviaa.

That´ll be the day

Well that'll be the day,

when you say good bye,

yes, that'll be the day,

when you make me cry.

Oh you say you're gonna leave,

you know it's a lie 'cause

that'll be the day when I die!

Well that'll be the day,

when you say good bye,

yes, that'll be the day,

when you make me cry.

Oh you say you're gonna leave,

you know it's a lie 'cause

that'll be the day when I die!

Well, you give me all your lovin'

and your turtle dovin',

All your hugs and kisses

and your money too,

Well, you know you love me baby,

until you tell me, maybe,

That some day, well,

I'll be through, well..

That'll be the day,

when you say good bye,

yes, that'll be the day,

when you make me cry.

Oh you say you're gonna leave,

you know it's a lie 'cause

that'll be the day when I die!

When Cupid shot his dart he shot

it at your heart

So if we ever part and I leave you

You say you told me and you

told me boldly

That someday well, I'll be through

Well that'll be the day,

when you say good bye,

yes, that'll be the day,

when you make me cry.

Oh you say you're gonna leave,

you know it's a lie 'cause

that'll be the day when I die!

Well that'll be the day,

Ooo hoo

That'll be the day,

Ooo hoo

That'll be the day,

Ooo hoo

That'll be the day, when I die!

En hirvittävästi ole country-fani, mutta taannoin American Idolissa oli countryviikot, ja kandidaatit poimivat Grand Old Opryn "laulukirjasta" suosikkejaan. Randy Travis opasti ja muutamia hienoja tulkintoja löytyikin. Olin hämmästynyt että aiempien AI-kauden voittaja Carrie Underwood on jo hyväksytty GOO:n jäseneksi.

Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash -

It Ain't Me Babe

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVzQ_Q08mWs

Go away from my window

Leave at your own chosen speed

I'm not the one you want, babe

I'm not the one you need

You say you're lookin' for someone

Who's never weak but always strong

To protect you and defend you

Whether you are right or wrong

Someone to open each and every door

[CHORUS:]

But it ain't me babe

No, no, no, it ain't me babe

It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Go lightly from the ledge, babe

Go lightly on the ground

I'm not the one you want, babe

I'll only let you down

You say you're lookin' for someone

Who'll promise never to part

Someone to close his eyes to you

Someone to close his heart

Someone to die for you and more

[REPEAT CHORUS]

You say you're lookin' for someone

To pick you up each time you fall

To gather flowers constantly

And to come each time you call

And will love you for your life

And nothin' more

[REPEAT CHORUS]

duetoissa on puolensa... ja on puolensa....

Fly me to the moon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgUxTEJvczE

Fly me to the moon

And let me play among the stars

And let me know what spring is like

On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand

In other words, darling kiss me

Fill my heart with song

And let me sing forever more

You are all I long for

All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true

In other words, I love you

Fill my heart with song

And let me sing forever more

You are all I long for

All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true

In other words, I love you

Unchained memory

Oh, my love, my darling

I've hungered for your touch,

A long lonely time

Time goes by so slowly,

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?

I need your love,

I need your love

God speed your love, to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,

To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers syies,

Wait for me,

Wait for me

I'll be coming home,

Wait for me

--- Instrumental ---

Time goes by so slowly,

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?

I need your love,

I need your love

God speed your love, to me.

God speed your love, to me...
