It's Probably Me

Parlavo tempo fa di certe canzoni che raggiungono la perfezione nella loro semlicità.
Secondo me è il caso anche di "It's Probably Me" di Sting.
Inizio di sola sezione ritmica.
Si aggiunge una chitarra blues (e che chitarra blues).
Leggeri movimenti sui piatti della batteria.
Sax senza strafare.
Una fusione perfetta.
Se poi i co-autori sono Michael Kamen (direttore d'orchestra e compositore scomparso nel 2003. Si deve a lui la direzione dell'Orchestra di San Francisco nel disco pietra miliare Sinfonia Metallica) ed Eric Clapton (è sempre in mezzo).....

If the night turned cold

And the stars looked down

And you hug yourself

On the cold cold ground

You wake the morning

In a stranger's coat

No-one would you see

You ask yourself, 'Who'd watch for me?'

My only friend, who could it be?

It's hard to say it

I hate to say it

But it's probably me

When your belly's empty

And the hunger's so real

And you're too proud to beg

And too dumb to steal

You search the city

For your only friend

No-one would you see

You ask yourself, Who'll Watch For Me?'

A solitary voice to speak out and set me free

I hate to say it

I hate to say it

But it's probably me

You're not the easiest person I ever got to know

And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show

Some would say

I should let you go your way

You'll only make me cry

If there's one guy, just one guy

Who'd lay down his life for you and die

It's hard to say it

I hate to say it

But it's probably me

When the world's gone crazy, and it makes no sense

And there's only one voice that comes to your defence

And the jury's out

And your eyes search the room

And one friendly face is all you need to see

If there's one guy, just one guy

Who'd lay down his life for you and die

I hate to say it

I hate to say it

But it's probably me

I hate to say it

I hate to say

But it's probably me

I hate to say it

I hate to say

But it's probably me

I hate to say it

I hate to say

But it's probably me

Sting

Me la dedico da solo. Perchè oltre a piacermi oltre ogni limite, con l'occasione del post me la sono letta per benino...e il testo mi da quasi fastidio.
