Por causa da vinda do inglês Elton John ao Brasil semana passada, lembrei-me de uma de suas obras que mais gosto: "Your Song". Melodia e arranjo simplesmente lindíssimos. Piano e voz numa combinação perfeita. Muita gente já namorou ao som dessa música...
Além da versão do autor, essa música também foi gravada pelo Billy Paul, em uma versão disco e muito conhecida, com um arranjo completamente distinto, o que faz com que muita gente não se dê conta que é a mesma música. Muita gente já dançou muito ao som dessa música nas tertúlias e discotecas da vida...
Dois lados de uma mesma moeda, ambos antológicos. Listen!
Elton John
Billy Paul
Para acompanhar cantando:
Your Song
(Elton John-Bernie Taupin)
1970
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
