The Smiths ve hissettirdikleri

Siz de benim gibi Smiths dinlemeyi sever misiniz? Patrick Morrisey'in ekolu sesi, yarı hüzünlü, yarı coşkulu melodilere eşlik ederken hayallere dalar mısınız? 80'lerin öncü alternatif rock gruplarından biri olan Smiths kurulduğunda adıyla da baya bir tepki toplamış ve döneminin şaşalı grup isimlerinin içinde basitliğiyle dikkatleri üstüne çekmiştir. 500 days of Summer filminde hatırlarsanız Smiths şarkılarına fazlaca yer verilmişti. Smiths sever olmayan biri bile o filmde bu müziğe kayıtsız kalamaz diye düşünüyorum...

Bu gece beni hayallere sürükleyen en sevdiğim Smiths parçası ise; "There is a light that never goes out"



Gelin kulak verelim;
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
No, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
