8 ΛΕΠΤΑ ΜΑΚΡΥΑ



Ένα από τα πιο "γεμάτα" (εννοώντας μουσικά και συναισθηματικά) άλμπουμ της δεκαετίας του '90, είναι το διπλό New River Head (1991) των Bevis Frond, δηλαδη του μουσικού (νεο)ψυχεδελικου οχήματος του σπουδαίου κιθαρίστα Nick Saloman. Με εξαιρετικές συνεργασίες (όπως αυτή με τον θρύλο Country Joe McDonald: "EAT FLOWERS & KISS BABIES" - τι τίτλος!) και με συμμετοχές σε έργα των Current 93, Outskirts Of Infinity, Paul Roland κλπ κλπ, ο 56χρονος πια Bevis είναι ένας από τους πλέον παραγωγικούς καλλιτέχνες, σχετικά άγνωστος στο ευρύ κοινό, αλλά με φανατικούς φίλους.
Το "Stain on the Sun" - που εδώ ακούμε σε ζωντανή εκτέλεση του 2004 - είναι ένα από τα κορυφαία τραγούδια του άλμπουμ που προαναφέρθηκε.



STAIN ON THE SUN

She was the only girl in your eyes
She was the one good thing in your life
How is it different now, over night
What is this inexplicable cloud that blocks your sight?

Oh yeah, I'll take your word
Your eyes are better than mine
But I still can't see a single stain on the sun
Oh but if you say it's there
It's bound to darken in time
You go your way, you do what has to be done

She was the answer to all your prayers
She was as vital to you as the air
Why is she suddenly such a drag
Where is the bullet, oh in the holy roman flag

Oh yeah, I'll take your word
Your eyes are better than mine
But I still can't see a single stain on the sun
Oh but if you say it's there
It's bound to darken in time
You go your way, you do what has to be done

Oh yeah, I'll take your word
Your eyes are better than mine
But I still can't see a single stain on the sun
Oh but if you say it's there
It's bound to darken in time
You go your way, you do what has to be done

Oh I'll take your word
Your eyes are better than mine
But I still can't see a single stain on the sun
Oh but if you say it's there
It's bound to darken in time
You go your way, you do what has to be done.

Μερικά τραγούδια του/ων Bevis έχουν συμμετάσχει σαν σάουντρακ σε αρκετά επεισόδια της ζωής μου. Δυσκολεύομαι ιδιαίτερα τόσο να τα αναφέρω όσο και να περιγράψω τις αναμνήσεις που μου ξυπνάνε. Ίσως από την άλλη, οι εργασίες που έχω αυτό το διάστημα να συρρικνώνουν σημαντικά τη δυνατότητα να εξωτερικεύσω αυτά που αισθάνομαι, ακόμη και αν το όχημα λέγεται Bevis Frond. Ίσως.. Αλλά κι από την άλλη, ποιος νοιάζεται;

--..Τους στίχους του τραγουδιού αρχικά δεν μπόρεσα να τους βρω (ούτε στο βινύλιο, που πραγματικά χάρηκε που με ξαναείδε - κι εγώ).. αλλά νάναι καλά οι Kαλοί φίλοι
ούς
