Happy Birthday, Neil! - If I could have her tonight

Hoje é aniversário do Neil, Neil Young, nascido há exatos 67 anos em Toronto.

Como (evoé Picasso!) leva-se muito tempo para tornar-se jovem, creio que Neil tá chegando lá.

Ou será ele mesmo precoce, Young desde as penugens. Seu primeiro álbum (um de meus preferidos ever) prova-o.

Este primeiro disco lindo, que termina com a épica "Last Trip to Tulsa" e tem de quebra um quarteto de cordas ("String Quartet from Whiskey Boot Hill").

E tem "If I could have her tonight". Antigamente se estreiava assim.

By the way, disco lançado em outro 12/11. Mas de 68. Magic year.

PS: post com um diazinho de atraso.




IF I COULD HAVE HER TONIGHT

All of a sudden she
was on my mind
I wasn't ready for her kind
And she was taking her time.

What if she came to me
Would she be kind?
And if she stayed with me
Do you think that
she'd like to do anything
I would, or would she leave me?

Lately I've found myself
losing my mind
Knowing how badly I need her
It's something hard to find.

What if she came to me
Would she be kind?
And if she stayed with me
Do you think that she'd
like to do anything
I would, or would she leave me?

If I could have her tonight
Does she want to go?
Look at those eyes
Does she want it?
If I could have her tonight

If I could have her tonight
If I could have her tonight.
