Natürlich gäbe es deutlich subtilere Kandidaten für einen „Song des Tages“ am heutigen 4. Juli. Aber keinen besseren.
Und nicht nur heute wird offensichtlich, welch‘ große Stimme am 18. Mai verstummt ist. Damn, Chris Cornell. Ich vermisse dich, verdammt. Danke fürs Singen. Danke für Soundgarden. Danke für deine Songs. ♥
„Heard it in the wind / And I saw it in the sky / And I thought it was the end / And I thought it was the fourth of July…“
(die Studioversion gibt’s hier zu hören…)
„Shower in the dark day
Clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterway
Where the baptized drown
Naked in the cold sun
Breathing life like fire
Thought I was the only one
But that was just a lie
‚Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July
Pale in the flare light
The scared light cracks and disappears
And leads the scorched ones here
And everywhere no one cares
The fire is spreading
And no one wants to speak about it
Down in the hole
Jesus tries to crack a smile
Beneath another shovel load
‚Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July
Heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July
Fourth of July, July
Now I’m in control
Now I’m in the fall out
Once asleep but now I stand
And I still remember your sweet everything
Light a roman candle
And hold it in your hand
Heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July
Heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July, yeah…“
Rock and Roll.
