Peter Gabriel & Sinead O’Connor – Don’t Give Up, Chile 1990 #musicaware

Ok. Let me explain what happend: Vinnie Colaiuta is playing the right rhythm, but he’s putting accents too loud in order to help the keyboard player to feel the 6/8 compass over the 4/4 secuence of harmony. Then, the keyboard player, played the chords out of time (not out of tune). Sting did not knew what to do neither, it seems that those guys learned the song like 15 minutes before playing it. At the end, Sting finally catches the right scale, which all of us can hear a well played bass (even with slaps). Gabriel is used to play this song in a full 6/8 time, with a higher pitch, and only a bass drum playing every last 5 and 6th beats of the 6/8 compass, which actually helps a lot to him to sing it properly. That’s what happend. Pure Confusion. Cheers to everyone, and you’re all right… THIS SOUNDED SOOOOO AWFUL… which prooves that you can be the best player in the world, but if you do not do your homework, you will sound like shit!

Bright Blue Rose

I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning
That hungers the first light, much much more
Than mountains ever do.
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned, unscathed, unharmed.
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
And I am the geek with the alchemists stone.
For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand

For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand

And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
For all of you who must discover, for all who seek to understand

For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand

And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years and still it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally

Lyrics

Looking back through changes
Where we started from
Don’t know about you but
I knew it wasn’t wrong
You know I kept a place
For you in my mind
And I know you did the same
‘Cause you’re just that kind

So if we knew all along
Why did it take so long?
We’ve known since we were young
So why did it take so long?
You know you make me feel loved
Make me feel like I’m home
So if we knew all along
Why did it take so long?

Moving on
You and I started looking back
Now we’ve got to make up
For all the wasted time
You know I’d never let you just walk on by
From the day that I met you
I knew you’d be mine, yeah

So if we knew all along
Why did it take so long?
We’ve known since we were young
Why did it take so long?
You know you make me feel loved
Make me feel like I’m home
So if we knew all along
Why did it take so long?

Just started, it’s just started
I’m having trouble believing it’s true
Just started, just started
Now we got nothing to prove

So if we knew all along
Why did it take so long?
We’ve known it since we were young
So why did it take so long?
You know you make me feel loved
Make me feel like I’m home
So if we knew all along

Why did it take so long?
Why did it take so long?
Why did it take so long?
Why did it take so long?
Why did it take so long?

Paddy Reilly, The Fields of Athenry. #ireland #musicaware

The Fields of Athenry

The Dubliners

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
“Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan’s corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay”

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It’s so lonely ’round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
“Nothing matters, Mary, when you’re free
Against the famine and the crown
I rebelled, they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity”

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It’s so lonely ’round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived in hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It’s so lonely ’round the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It’s so lonely ’round the fields of Athenry
