blue world

• the moody blues'un the present isimli albümünün ilk parçası.
  
  heart and soul took control,
  took control of me.
  paid my dues, spread the news,
  hands across the sea.
  put me down, turned me round,
  turned me round to see.
  marble halls, open doors,
  someone found the key
  and it's only what you do
  that keeps it coming back on you
  and it's only what you say
  that can give yourself away.
  
  underground, sight and sound,
  human symphony.
  heard the voice, had no choice,
  needed to be free.
  fly me high, touch the sky,
  left the earth below.
  heard the line, saw the sign,
  knew which way to go
  'cos it's easier to try
  than to prove it can't be done
  and it's easier to stay
  than to turn around and run.
  
  it's a blue world.
  it takes somebody to help somebody.
  oh, it's a blue world,
  it's a new world.
  it needs somebody to love somebody.
  oh, it's a blue world.

• 80'lerin kötü öğelerini içinde barındırmasına rağmen, the moody blues ruhunu pek bozmamıştır. o yüzden başarılı bir parça olduğunu kabul ederim.

  there’s a shine to a night like this
  to the way your body moves
  and the lines of your silhouette
  and the rise of your fragile bones
  and the lift of the whispered wind
  and a song that you never heard
  and you’re riding on silver wings
  and you’re leaving the blue world
  
  and the bells of the mission ring
  and the bricks bring an echo back
  there’s a glow and it’s covering
  everything in its gentle path
  and you dreamed of a night like this
  and the call of a fallen bird
  and the beauty of it all is
  that you’re leaving the blue world
  
  and no one to call your name
  and no one to bring a rose
  and you come to the heavy gate
  and you open it all alone
  and a wild magnolia blooms
  on the damp uncovered earth
  and the twist of the tangled roots
  and you’re leaving the blue world
  and you rise like an ember caught
  in the smoke of a single flame
  like the candle a lover brought
  just to light a beloved face
  there’s a shine to a night like this
  and the stars never fell so near
  and your soul like a golden gift
  and it rises and disappears
• john coltrane'in le chat dans le sac filmi için bestelemiş olduğu muhteşem parça.
• john coltrane ve büyük saz arkadaşları tarafından, crescent ve a love supreme albümleri arasındaki bir tarihte, le chat dans le sac filmi için bestelediği albüm, şarkılar silsilesi. efsane kadro(classic quartet) ile yapıldığı için albümün muhteşemliği konusunda tek kelime edemiyoruz; jimmy garrison, elvin jones, mccoy tyner ve john coltrane. impulse! records tarafından coltrane's lost album serisinin bir diğer ayağı. diğeri için: (bkz: both directions at once the lost album).
  
  rudy van gelder tarafından kaydı yapılmıştır. bilirsiniz, bu şahsın elinin dokunduğu istisnasız her albüm mutlaka alınıp dinlenilmelidir. bu albüm de onlardan biridir.
  
  beni asıl mutlu eden kısım ise, kayıtların başlangıcında, "blue world - take 1, naima - take 2" gibi duyabileceğimiz şekilde söylenen girizgah. duyulduğu an kayıtsız kalmamak imkansız.
  
  albüme ait bir favori henüz bulamadım, zira hepsi birbirinden müthiş. gerçi böyle bir şeye hiç lüzum var mı?
