Oggi la leggenda vivente del rock, Keith Richards compie 75 anni. Per celebrarlo, vi posto il brano dei Rolling Stones, Memory Motel, con testo e video.
Auguri Keef.
Chitarrista, cantante, compositore, ed attore, Keef è una autentica leggenda vivente del Rock e del Blues.
Keith Richards è per me il maestro che mi ha fatto conoscere ed amare il blues e la chitarra. I suoi riff, il suo carisma e la sua follia, sono la migliore rappresentazione del rock.
Sopravvissuto a se stesso, Keith Richards è con Mick Jagger una delle più belle storie della musica.
Sono ormai 57 anni che i Rolling Stones sono insieme, sempre a grandissimi livelli e non vedo perchè si dovrebbero ritirare, tanto più che hanno annunciato un tour per il 2019.
Memory Motel è un brano estratto dall’album dei Rolling Stones Black and Blue del 1975.
Testo: Rolling Stones – Memory Motel
Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
Her eyes were hazel
And her nose were slightly curved
We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel
It’s on the ocean, I guess you know it well
It took a starry to steal my breath away
Down on the water front
Her hair all drenched in spray
Hannah baby was a honey of a girl
Her eyes were hazel
And her teeth were slightly curved
She took my guitar and she began to play
She sang a song to me
Stuck right in my brain
You’re just a memory of a love
That used to be
You’re just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me
She got a mind of her own
And she use it well
Well she’s one of a kind
She’s got a mind
She got a mind of her own
And she use it mighty fine
She drove a pick-up truck
Painted green and blue
The tires were wearing thin
She turned a mile or two
When I asked her where she headed for
“Back up to Boston I’m singing in a bar”
I got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge
My nerves are shot already
The road ain’t all that smooth
Across in Texas is the rose of San Antone
I keep on a feeling that’s gnawing in my bones
You’re just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me
You’re just a memory girl
You’re just a sweet memory
And it used to mean so much to me
Sha la la la la
She got a mind of her own
And she use it well
Mighty fine, she’s one of a kind
On the seventh day my eyes were all a glaze
We’ve been ten thousand miles
Been in fifteen states
Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind
I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried
What’s all this laughter on the 22nd floor
It’s just some friends of mine
And they’re busting down the door
Been a lonely night at the Memory Motel
