David Robert Jones, alias David Bowie, era nato a Londra l’ 8 gennaio 1947 ed oggi avrebbe compiuto 70 anni. In suo onore il brano Changes, con testo e video.
Strano compleanno quello di David Bowie, ricordo ancora l’ anno passato quando eravamo felici per il suo album Blackstar…. due giorni più tardi ci avrebbe lasciato sulle note di Lazarus.
Il Genio ci lasciava con un capolavoro musicale, chiudendo così una straordinaria carriera.
Le ultime notizie ci riportano che David aveva saputo solo 3 mesi prima del tumore. Sinceramente so che abbiamo perso uno dei più grandi artisti di sempre.
In suo onore, vi posto il brano Changes, contenuto nel monumentale album Hunky Dory del 1971.
Testo: David Bowie – Changes
Oh, yeah
Mmm
Still don’t know what I was waitin’ for
And my time was runnin’ wild
A million dead end streets and
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I’ve never caught a glimpse
How the others must see the faker
I’m much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don’t want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
There’s gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time1
Mmm, yeah
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re goin’ through2
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don’t tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Where’s your shame?
You’ve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can’t trace time
Strange fascinations fascinate me
Ah, changes are takin’
The pace I’m goin’ through2
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Ooh, look out you rock ‘n’ rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you’re gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can’t trace time
