| I denne tid er vi stærkt optaget af at se Neil Youngs "Heart of Gold". Vi har den kørende på vores fladskærm i Akustikken dagen lang. Fantastiske Neil Young!!
Han berører i èn af hans sange sit dybe forhold til sine guitarer (Martin selvfølgelig).
En ting jeg ofte har tænkt på: Hvorfor nævner diverse sangskrivere ikke deres guitarer noget mere?
Havde de ikke deres (Martin) guitarer, så det skidt ud, tror jeg.
En guitar er en naturlig del af en sangskrivers univers og den er med til at formidle hans/hendes
tanker og tilstand.
Ud af den sammensætning kommer der fantastiske sange vi andre "almindelige" kan identificere
os med.
Lad mig give et billede, der er til at forstå:
Thomas Helmig starter sin tur nu. Kunne man forstille ham stå med en obo?
Niels Hausgaard med en trompet?
Bob Dylan med en kontrabas?
Nej, vel?
En guitar er en sangskrivers bedste og mest trofaste kammerat.
Altid klar.
Med venlig hilsen

Niel Young:
"This old guitar"
This old guitar ain't mine to keep
Just taking care of it now
It's been around for years and years
Just waiting in its old case
It's been up and down the country roads
It's brought a tear and a smile
It's seen its share of dreams and hopes
And never went out of style
The more I play it, the better it sounds
It cries when I leave it alone
Silently it waits for me
Or someone else I suppose
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar has caught some breaks
But it never searched for gold
It can't be blamed for my mistakes
It only does what it's told
It's been a messenger in times of trouble
In times of hope and fear
When I get drunk and seeing double
It jumps behind the wheel and steers
This old guitar ain't mine to keep
It's mine to play for a while
This old guitar ain't mine to keep
It's only mine for a while
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar
This old guitar |
