ничего не хочется писать
и гулять тоже не хочется
страна моя в огне (все время думаю о пожарных, что борются с огнем когда я сплю)
им пожалуй посвящу песни Tony Joe White

Tony Joe White - родился 23 июля 1943 года, Ок Гров, Луизиана, США
Его творения исполняли Элвис Пресли, Рэй Чарльз, Джо Кокер, Этта Джеймс, Хэнк Уильямс, Джон Майалл и Уэйлон Дженнингс, его джинглами пользовались "McDonalds" и "Levi's", однако ему самому далеко не всегда сопутствовал успех..

Tony Joe White - Closer to the Truth - Live

Strong instinct for survival
Romantically insane
Moving soft along the edge of time
Like a panther in the rain

Manipulated rebels
With a total disregard for the rules
When pride comes tumbling off the great white stallion
You move closer to the truth

And the search continues for the meaning
They build the cathedrals high
But we keep our weapons ready
Looming dark against the sky

They're taking down the rain forest
Changing it to a room without a view
And the big trees fall like dominoes
And we move closer
The eagle watches from the mountain
As the warriors turn into fools
And the dice are thrown on sacred ground
And they move closer to the truth

And who's gonna tell the children
How the rivers used to flow crystal blue
And we keep leaving scars on Mother Earth
And moving closer to the truth

такая вот сборная солянка в моей голове
ничего конкретного
и хорошо бы нам сейчас дождя
Tony Joe White - Rainy Night In Georgia - Germany 1992 (From the DVD "Ohne Filter - In Concert")

Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
A heavy rain a fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin'
"It's all right"

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs a flashin'
Taxi cabs and busses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I've wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it, think of it
You just got to do your own thing

I find me a place in a box car
So I take out my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest
And I'm all right

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
I believe it's rainin' all over the world

us, блюз
