Inga Swearingen - The Crazy Cries Of Love - Joni Mitchell

Här sjunger min favoritsångerska (en bland flera), Inga Swearingen, till Gary Raynor på bas och eget gitarrkomp en låt av Joni Mitchell. Tycker denna sång och dess text innehåller en skön berättelse, som också Inga Swearingen förmedlar så fint.
Starta den medföljande lilla spelaren och flytta tidskontrollen till klockan c:a 80.45 så kommer sången att spelas upp.

The Crazy Cries Of Love

It was a dark and a stormy night
Everyone was at the wing-ding
They weren't the wing-ding type
So they climbed up to the train bridge
Where the weather was howling
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
Love's cries

They were laughing, they were dancing in the rain
They knew their love was a strong one
When they heard the far off whistle of a train
They were hoping it was going to be a long one
Cuz oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
Love's cries

In the back booth of an all night cafe
Two dripping raincoats are hanging
Outside in the weather
The shade on the streetlight is clanging
But they're smilin' ear to ear and eye to eye
Ice cream is melting on some rhubarb pie
Oh, my my
No one else can hear
Love's cries

Every kiss was sweet and strong
Every touch was totally tandem
There's a train come a-rumbling along
They sang a lover's song of wild abandon
And oh, oh, my my
When that train comes rolling by
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
Love's cries
No paper thin walls, no folks above to hear..
No paper thin walls, no folks above
No one else can hear
Love's cries

Mose Allison - Gettin' There

People ask me questions 'bout the way I spend my life
Thirty years in showbiz only had one wife
Limousines and swimming-pools I didn't get my share
But I'm not downhearted
I am not downhearted
I'm not downhearted but I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there

Did you ever get the feelin' you've been taken for a ride
The big ones eat the little ones and there's no place left to hide
Just don't drink the water try not to breathe the air
But I'm not discouraged
I am not discouraged
I'm not discouraged but I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there

No matter how I'm feeling I still propose a toast
If you're almost successful you're better off than most
If I was sellin' fantasy I'd be a millionaire
But I'm not disillusioned
I am not disillusioned
I'm not disillusioned but I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there

Bonnie Raitt - Something To Talk About

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

People are talkin', talkin' about people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
(Ah ha)
They think we're lovers kept under covers
(Ooh hoo)
I just ignore it, they keep sayin'..We

Laugh just a little too loud
(A little too loud)
Stand just a little too close
(Too close)
Stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'

//:Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)://
How about a little somethin' to talk about
How about love love
(Love love love love)

I feel so foolish, I've never noticed that
(Ah ha)
You're actin' so nervous like you'll be fallin' baby
(Ah ha)
It took a rumor to make me wonder
(Ooh hoo)
Now I'm convinced I'm goin' under

Thinkin' 'bout you everyday
(Everyday)
Dreamin' 'bout you every night
(Every night)
Hopin' that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it baby
(Darlin')

When you come there'll be somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
(Somethin' to talk about)
I wanna somethin' to talk about
I want your love
(Love love love love)

Give 'em somethin' to talk about, babe
I've got a little somethin' they can figure out?
Let's give them somethin' to talk about
How about love?
(Love love love love)

Ooh hoo listen I'll tell you it
(Somethin' to talk about)
Hey a mystery won't hurt
(Somethin' to talk about)
I wanna somethin' to talk about
I want your love (Love love love love)

(Somethin' to talk about)
(Somethin' to talk about)
(Love love love love)

Carla Bley Very Big Band - Who Will Rescue You?

Gary Valente trombon och Wolfgang Puschnig altsax. Carla Bley piano och dotter Karen Mantler orgel.

Fireworks . Absolutely Positively - Tom Baker trombon, vocal

Detta fina band från Australien hörde jag några lyckliga stunder på Askersunds Tradjazzfestival. Jag beundrade multiinstrumentalisten Tom Baker mycket. Han spelade allt, klarinett, kornett, alla saxar och tuba. Trombonen skulle enligt egen utsago bli huvudinstrumentet framöver. Tragiskt nog gick han bort för några år sedan i en hjärtsjukdom.

Alison Krauss - Restless

Honey, I know you've been alone some,
Why don't you 'phone some, 'cause I love you.
An' honey, I know I've been away some,
I've had to pay some and you have too.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.

I just can't stand bein' alone.
Gonna have to change that some day.
There's a restless feelin' in my bones an' I know,
That at times, it just won't go away.

So if it's all the same, honey, I can't take the blame, baby,
I can't play your game, honey, what's true is true.
And if, in the end, the temptation wears you thin, honey,
I'll, I'll just pretend and I'll leave it up to you.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
Can't help it if I'm full of fight.
But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.

Inga Swearingen - Where Flamingos Fly

Inga Swearingen blev en ny bekantskap för mig. Jag sökte Where Flamingos Fly och fann en sångerska. Jag är inte besviken.

Walk the waterfront
Hear the seagulls cry
Watch that boat take my baby far away
Where flamingos fly

Said he'd send for me
If he don't I'll die
Thousand miles from my baby far away
Where flamingos fly

You broke the law
They told him
Got to have passport to stay
You're shippin' back to the island
On a freighter that's leavin' to-day

Now my baby's gone
Hear the water sigh
Watch that boat take my baby far away
Where flamingos fly
