The Wanderer

Lo so, dovrei scrivere un post su Londra, anzi anzitutto (pessima scelta di parole) dovrei studiare....ma sono stato al concerto degli U2 l' 8/7/2009 e ora sono partito con la testa.
Dunque vi piazzo questa fantastica versione di The Wanderer, canzone scritta per e cantata da Johnny Cash , qui suonata in commemorazione della morte di Cash (questo non è il concerto dunque, ma mi piace da matti questa canzone, per quanto cantata da Johnny era tutta un'altra storia! se volete sentire la versione dell'album è l'ultima del jukebox)



Vi metto qui anche il testo...se avete un po' di tempo, credo valga la pena leggerlo

I went out walking
Through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking
Under an atomic sky
Where the ground won't turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I went with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering

I went drifting
Through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it

I went out riding
Down that old eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name

I went with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

I went out there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents

I went out searching
Looking for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking
With a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I'd be back by noon

Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering



Un grazie a Dario per avermi accompagnato al concerto! Senza di lui probabilmente me lo sarei perso e non me lo sarei mai perdonato!
