Aretha Franklin moriva un anno fa : Think, con testo e video

Un anno fa moriva la grandissima Aretha Franklin. Per ricordarla, vi posto il brano Thinh, con testo e video.

Ricordando Aretha.

Aretha Louise Franklin (Memphis, 25 marzo 1942 – Detroit, 16 agosto 2018) è stata una cantautrice e pianista statunitense, una delle icone della musica gospel, soul e R&B. (Fonte Wikipedia)

In attività dalla fine degli anni ’50, Aretha vinse ben 21 premi Grammy Award. La rivista Rolling Stone, l’ ha piazzata al 9° posto dei 100 migliori cantanti di sempre.

La sua voce, unica e potentissima, è una delle più belle della scena Soul e R&B di sempre.

Credo che ci siano poche persone, capaci di far funzionare la propria voce con l’ emozioni, la Franklin è stata una di queste.

Think è una canzone di Aretha Franklin uscita come singolo nel 1968, apparso nell’album Aretha Now. Particolare fama ha ottenuto la versione ripresa nella colonna sonora del film Blues Brothers di John Landis nel 1980. (Fonte Wikipedia)

Testo : Aretha Franklin – Think

You better think (think)
Think about what you’re trying to do to me
Think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
Let’s go back, let’s go back
Let’s go way on, way back when
I didn’t even know you
You couldn’t have been too much more than ten (just a child)
I ain’t no psychiatrist, I ain’t no doctor with degrees
But, it don’t take too much high IQ’s
To see what you’re doing to me
You better think (think)
Think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
Oh, freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom)
Oh, freedom, yeah, freedom
Freedom (freedom), oh oh freedom (freedom)
Freedom, oh freedom
Hey, think about it, think about it
There ain’t nothing you could ask
I could answer you but I won’t (I won’t)
But I was gonna change, but I’m not
If you keep doing things I don’t
You better think (think)
Think about what you’re trying to do to me
Think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
People walking around everyday
Playing games, taking scores
Trying to make other people lose their minds
Ah, be careful you don’t lose yours, oh
Think (think)
Think about what you’re trying to do to me, ooh
Think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
You need me (need me)
And I need you (don’t you know)
Without eachother there ain’t nothing people can do, oh
Think about it, baby (What are you trying to do me)
Yeah, oh baby, think about it now, yeah
(Think about, forgiveness, dream about forgiveness)
To the ball, forgiveness
Think about it baby
To the ball, forgiveness
To the ball, forgiveness
