Ricordando Keith Moon : The Who – See Me, Feel Me, testo e video

Oggi l’ indimenticabile batterista degli Who, Keith Moon, compirebbe 74 anni. Ho pensato di ricordarlo con il brano “See Me, Feel Me”, con testo e video.

Auguri Moon!

Keith John Moon (Londra, 23 agosto 1946 – Londra, 7 settembre 1978) è stato un batterista britannico, componente dei The Who.

Nel 2011 è stato classificato secondo, dietro a John Bonham, nella classifica dei migliori batteristi di tutti i tempi redatta dai lettori della rivista Rolling Stone, a quasi 35 anni dalla sua morte.

Nel 1990 è stato introdotto nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame come membro dei The Who. (Fonte Wikipedia)

Keith John Moon iniziò a suonare la batteria come autodidatta, mostrando fin da subito una straordinaria evoluzione dello stile, in cui il rock, il blues ed il jazz si univano a tutta la sua irruenza.

Grande senso del tempo, unito alla sua creatività, Moon fu uno dei segreti del sound ritmico degli Who.

Keith Moon morì il 7 settembre 1978, dopo avere assunto ben 32 pasticche di clometiazolo.

See Me, Feel Me è un brano dei The Who, pubblicato su singolo nel settembre 1970.

Testo : The Who – See Me, Feel Me

Welcome to the Camp,
I guess you all know why we’re here
My name is Tommy
And I became aware this year
If you want to follow me,
You’ve got to play pinball
And put in your earplugs
Put on your eye shades
You know where to put the cork
Hey you getting drunk, so sorry!
I’ve got you sussed
Hey you smoking Mother Nature!
This is a bust!
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal
Don’t try to gain my trust!
‘Cause you ain’t gonna follow me any of those ways
Although you think you must
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We’re not gonna take it
Gonna break it, gonna shake it
Let’s forget it better still
Now you can’t hear me
Your ears are truly sealed
You can’t speak either
Your mouth is filled
You can’t see nothing
And pinball completes the scene
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to
Your very own machine
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don’t want no religion
And as far as we can tell
We ain’t gonna take you
Never did and never will
We’re not gonna take you
We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let’s forget you better still
We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let’s forget you better still
See me
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me
See me
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me
See me
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me
See me
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me
Listening to you
I get the music
Gazing at you
I get the heat
Following you
I climb the mountains
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you
I see the millions
On you
I see the glory
From you
I get opinions
From you
I get the story
Listening to you
I get the music
Gazing at you
I get the heat
Following you
I climb the mountains
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you
I see the millions
On you
I see the glory
From you
I get opinions
From you
I get the story
Listening to you
I get the music
Gazing at you
I get the heat
Following you
I climb the mountains
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you
I see the millions
On you
I see the glory
