Joni Mitchell – Amelia
Една от най-хубавите песни на Джони Мичъл, посветена на авиаторката Амелия Еърхарт – тук в концертно изпълнение и илюстрирана подобаващо.
Годината е 1998 , а музикантите зад тази велика жена са Brian Blade, Mark Isham, Larry Klein и Greg Leisz.
Бих искал да имам целия концерт, на всички възможни дигитални и аналогови носители. Ама го нямам, имам само YouTube.
…A ghost of aviation
She was swallowed by the sky
Or by the sea, like me she had a dream to fly
Like icarus ascending
On beautiful foolish arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
Maybe I’ve never really loved
I guess that is the truth
I’ve spent my whole life in clouds at icy altitude
And looking down on everything
I crashed into his arms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
I pulled into the cactus tree motel
To shower off the dust
And I slept on the strange pillows of my wanderlust
I dreamed of 747s
Over geometric farms
Dreams, amelia, dreams and false alarms.
