To było w roku 1973. Słuchałem Trójki, a Piotr Kaczkowski sporo opowiadał o debiutanckiej płycie Mike Oldfielda i jej innowacyjności. Zaintrygował mnie na tyle, że uruchomiłem nagrywanie w moim magnetofonie.
EUREKA !!!!!!
To było niesamowite.
Poźniej Mike stworzył jeszcze wiele muzyki, która na zawsze już będzie we mnie, chociaż i "gnioty" udawało mu się popełnic.
To zdecydowanie MOJA wersja, chociaż Robertę też lubię.
The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and endless skies, my love, To the dark and empty skies.
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hands Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there.
And the first time ever I lay with you and felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the earth And would last till the end of time my love It would last till the end of time The first time ever I saw your face
Chyba najwcześniejsze moje doznanie muzyczne z dzieciństwa, które do dziś jest obowiązkową pozycja na tanecznych imprezach.
Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Passed me by one sunny day Flashed those big brown eyes my way I knew I wanted you forever more Now I'm not one that gets around Swear my feet stuck to the ground And 'though I never did meet you before
I said hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
I saw your lips I heard your voice Believe me I just had no choice Wild horses couldn't make me stay away I thought about a moonlit night Arms around you good and tight That's all I had to see for me to say
Hey hey Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart Yes hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left inside On that starry, starry night You took your life as lovers often do But I could have told you, Vincent This world was never meant For one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes A silver thorn, a bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will...
Mam swoistą obsesję związaną z tym utworem. Zebrałem całkiem pokaźną kolekcję najróżniejszych wykonań.
Poniżej - klasyka i współczesne MISTRZOSTWO:
When they begin the beguine it brings back the sound of music so tender it brings back a night of tropical splendor it brings back a memory of green
I'm with you once more under the stars and down by the shore an orchestras playing and even the palms seem to be swaying when they begin the beguine
to live it again is past all endeavor except when that tune clutches my heart and there we are swearing to love forever and promising never never to part
a moments divine what rapture serene to clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted and now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted I know but too well what they mean
so dont let them begin the beguine let the love that was once a fire remain an ember let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember when they begin the beguine
oh yes let them begin the beguine make them play til the stars that were there before return above you till you whisper to me once more darling I love you and we suddenly know what heaven we're in when they begin the beguine
When the night has come, and the land is dark And the moon is the only light we will see No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me So darlin', darlin' stand by me Oh stand by me Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall Or the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me And darlin', darlin' stand by me Oh stand by me Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me *Solo*
And darlin', darlin' stand by me Oh stand by me Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall Or the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me And darlin', darlin' stand by me Oh stand by me Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me So darlin', darlin' stand by me Oh stand by me Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me Oh stand by me Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me...

W taką noc, w barowej sali pośród bar gdy nas powije tanga czar i zmysły zmroczy ramiona twe, tak tulą mnie, już widzę tylko Twoje oczy a w nich na dnie iskierki dwie, to czai się w nich słodki grzech
taka noc, to dobrych Bogów słodki dar niech nas upoi tanga czar i mocne wino Ty kochasz mnie, ja kocham Cię, w krainę czaru świat popłynął już wszystko wiesz, już wszystko wiesz, niech nas połączy słodki grzech

It's something daring, the Continental A way of dancing that's really ultra new It's very subtle, the Continental Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the Continental An invitation to moonlight and romance It's quite the fashion, the Continental Because you tell of your love while you dance
Your lips whisper so tenderly His eyes answer your song
Two bodies swaying, the Continental, And you are saying just what you're thinking of So, keep on dancing the Continental For it's a song of romance and of love
You kiss while you're dancing It's continental, oh oh oh, it's continental You sing while you're dancing Your voice is gentle, oh oh oh, and sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through That you're in love with him and he's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancing That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul, A certain rhythm that you can't control And you will do the Continental all the time
Beautiful music Dangerous rhythm Beautiful music Dangerous rhythm The Continental
Love me love me love me Say you do Let me fly away With you For my love is like The wind And wild is the wind
Give me more Than one caress Satisfy this Hungriness Let the wind Blow through your heart For wild is the wind
You... Touch me... I hear the sound Of mandolins You... Kiss me... With your kiss My life begins You're spring to me All things To me
Don't you know you're Life itself Like a leaf clings To a tree Oh my darling, Cling to me For we're creatures Of the wind And wild is the wind So wild is the wind
You... Touch me... I hear the sound Of mandolins You... Kiss me... And your kiss My life begins That is spring to me All things To me
Don't you know you're Life itself Like a leaf clings To a tree Oh my darling, Cling to me For we're creatures Of the wind And wild is the wind So wild is the wind
Wild is the wind Wild is the wind Wild is the wind
You don’t stop, Day to day, Up and down, Picking up, No one ever sees. Memories take a toll, Old wounds never go. Look ‘n see Find a way, Anyway Way to be Safer in your skin Try to Stay cool, Keep low, Let go, Nowhere left to run. Breakdown, Rain dogs, Freak clouds, No words. Secretly, You'll be Your own worst Enemy, With no one left to blame. You better find someone, You better find someone, You better find someone, Unlike me Happiness Has a home, Have a guess Where it is, Have you ever been To see Pain and Pleasure Together? Some say They play, Take turns Each day To make sweat happiness. Don’t start Big heart, Don’t cry Little fly, Buzzing around your heads. In time You’ll find It's all Behind you. All said, All done, Who loves the sun Shining ever more? Shining ever more You better find someone, You better find someone, You better find someone, Unlike me You better find someone, You better find someone, You better find someone, Unlike me
