Moment musical nº2
Things have changed
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my left and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm lookin' up into the sapphire-tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waitin' on the last train
Standin' on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expectin' all hell to break loose
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed.
This place ain't doin' me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should've been in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancin' lessons, do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he got anythin' to prove
Lotta water under the bridge, lotta other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed.
I've been walkin' forty miles of bad road
If the Bible is right the world will explode
I'm tryin' to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand
Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Puttin' her in a wheelbarrow and wheelin' her down the street
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed.
I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get lowdown, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman that don't even appeal to me
Mr. Jinx and miss Lucy they jumped in a lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care but - things have changed.
Bob Dylan
Avui he posat aquest tema d'en Bob perquè no paro d'escoltar durant aquests dies a la ràdio, a la TV, a Internet la notícia sobre el concert que ens ofereix a Andorra el 22 de juny i el qual m'estic plantejant anar. Alguna cosa em diu que no me'l puc perdre. A part, últimament m'ha passat que he volgut anar a molts concerts d'aquests grans i al final, o per una cosa o per l'altre, no hi he acabat anant. O sigui que...ara és un bon moment.
Things have changed va sorgir en el 2000 com una demanda pel director Curtis Chanson per una pel·lícula. El tema en qüestió va ser motiu d'un premi Golden Globe i també un òscar a millor cançó original. La lletra és molt bona però aviso que és amb una visió força pessimista (jajajjjaja).
Instrumentació mínima: tres guitarres acústiques, baix i bateria amb uns acords molt simples però molt melòdics.
Com he comentat vàries vegades, a Dylan no li cal tenir una gran veu, això el fa seu i crea un estil inigualable.
Les cançons d'en Bob Dylan em transmeten molt bon rotllo tot i que les lletres solen ser força tristes. No sé perquè he triat aquesta ja que potser no és la que més m'agrada, simplement em venia de gust escoltar-la.
