Strawbs - Quicksilver Days

 𝐌𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐲...

Αγαπημένο μου μουσικό ημερολόγιο,

απευθύνομαι σε σένα επειδή ξέρω ότι είσαι από αυτούς που ψάχνουν για ενδιαφέροντες καινούριους δίσκους.

'Οπως ο δίσκος που ηχογράφησαν από τον Μάιο μέχρι τον Νοέμβριο του 2020 οι Strawbs. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι εξαιρετικό παρόλο που τα μέλη του group δούλευαν τα τραγούδια από απόσταση, ο καθένας στο σπιτικό του studio.

Ο τίτλος του δίσκου τους - πρόκειται για το 21ο album των Strawbs - είναι Settlement και κυκλοφόρησε πριν ένα μήνα, σχεδόν τέσσερα χρόνια μετά το προηγούμενό τους.

Το τραγούδι Quicksilver Days είναι από τα πιο ενδιαφέροντα του δίσκου.

Sandy Denny & The Strawbs-Who Knows Where The Time Goes-1967

Την καληνύχτα μας σήμερα θα την πούμε rOCK..ανίζοντας με την Sandy Denny & The Strawbs και το τραγούδι τους "Who Knows Where The Time Goes ". Ευχαριστούμε όσους πέρασαν και σήμερα από εδώ.
Across the purple sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I do not fear the time

Strawbs - Autumn

Την καληνύχτα μας σήμερα θα την πούμε με τους Strawbs και το τραγούδι τους Autumn
Ευχαριστούμε όσους πέρασαν και σήμερα από εδώ.

I - Heroine's Theme
Hawken

(Instrumental)

II - Deep Summer's Sleep
Cousins

I sense autumn coming on
The mist has hung low all day
Small birds gather on the wing
Preparing to make their way.

The trees begin to show a trace of brown among the green
Bringing back the memories that only you and I have seen.

I sense autumn coming on
The sun sinking red and deep
The fires burning in the fields
As late summer falls asleep.

The leaves begin to scatter as the North wind calls their name
Folding gently back into the silent earth from which they came.

III - The Winter Long
Cousins

Still waters flow
Sea breezes blow
Wild flowers grow
Abundant at your feet.

Soft falling snow
Warm candle glow
Flushed faces show
The pleasures when we meet.

Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
The winter long I will always be with you
Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
The winter long I will always be with you.

Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
I will be the one who will always see you through
Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you

I will be the one who will always see you through.
