cloud nine

• bugüne kadar nasıl buraya yazılmadığını anlayamadığım bir temptations başyapıtıdır aynı zamanda...
  
  dennis: the childhood part of my life
  wasn't very pretty, see...
  temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
  dennis: i was born and raised
  in the slums of the city,
  temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
  dennis: it was a one-room shack
  that slept ten other children beside me,
  temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
  dennis: we hardly enough food
  or room to sleep
  temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
  dennis: it was hard times...
  i needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind
  
  dennis: oooh listen...
  my father didn't know the meaning of work
  temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
  dennis: he disrespected mama,
  and treated us like dirt
  temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
  dennis: i left home seeking a job
  that i never could find
  temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
  dennis: the pressure came down hard
  and i took to cloud nine
  temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
  
  paul: i'm doing fine
  up here, on cloud nine
  dennis: a one more time
  paul: i'm doing fine
  up here, on cloud nine
  dennis: folks down there tell me...
  
  dennis: they say give yourself a chance
  and don't let life pass you by,
  temptations: woo, woo, woo
  dennis: but the world, say, is a rat race
  where only the strongest survive,
  it's a dog-eat-dog world
  and that ain't no lie,
  temptations: ain't no lie
  dennis: it ain't even safe no more
  to walk the streets at night
  
  temptations: i'm doing fine
  on cloud nine
  
  dennis: let me tell 'bout cloud nine...
  temptations: cloud nine
  paul: you can be what you want to be
  temptations: cloud nine
  dennis: you ain't got no responsibility
  temptations: cloud nine
  eddie: and every man, every man is free

  temptations: up and up,
  up and away
  
  temptations: cloud nine
  
  eddie: i wanna' say i love the life i live,
  and i'm going to live, the life i love
  or be on cloud nine...
  i, i, i, i, i, i'm ridin' high

  and choruses of "boom-booms"
• evanescence'in the open door albümünün 5. parçası, sözlerini de yazayım tam olsun :
  
  if you want to live, let live
  if you want to go, let go
  i'm not afraid to dream - to sleep, sleep forever
  i don't need to touch the sky
  i just want to feel that high
  and you refuse to lift me
  
  guess it wasn't real after all
  guess it wasn't real all along
  
  if i fall and all is lost
  its where i belong
  
  if you want to live, let live
  if you want to go, let go
  i'm never gonna be your sweet, sweet surrender
  
  guess it wasn't real after all
  guess it wasn't real all along
  
  if i fall and all is lost
  no light to lead the way
  remember that all alone is where i belong
  
  in a dream
  will you give your love to me
  beg my broken heart to beat
  save my life
  change my mind
  
  if i fall and all is lost
  no light to lead the way
  remember that all alone is where i belong
• evanescence'ın bol ouuu ooouuu lu perili hayaletli ev ortamı verdirmeye çalıştıkları güzel şarkı. sweet sacrifice'daki hızlı hızlı kelime geçişlerinin tersine, bu şarkıda bol bol kelimeler birer birer en sevilen tatlı yermişçesine uzatılarak söylenmiştir. aferim hep böyle güzel müzik yapın.
• "i don't need to touch the sky.
  i just want to feel that high,
  and you refuse to lift me."
  
  acıklı bir tek taraflılığı anlatır, istediğim sadece bu hissi^* yaşamaktı, sen bir araçtın beni o hisse taşıyacak..dercesine..ama araçsız da olmaz ki..der..hiç olmazsa..rüyama gel, gerçeği artık olmayan beni rüyalarımda yaşat. . .
  neden böyle manalı bir şarkıya bu kadar tempolu rock bir müzik seçilmiştir, merak ettirir çok.
• george harrison da bu cloud nine furyasına katılmıştır. sözlerini yazayım da yarım kalmasın:
  
  have my love
  it fits you like a glove
  join my dream, tell me yes
  bail out should there be a mess
  the pieces you don't need are mine
  
  take my time
  i'll show you cloud nine
  take my smile and my heart
  they were yours from the start
  the pieces to omit are mine
  
  have my love
  use it while it does you good
  share my highs but the times that he hurts pay no mind
  this pieces you don't need are mine
  i'll see you there on cloud nine
  
  take my hope
  maybe even share a joke
  if there's good to be shown
  you may make it all your own
  but if you want to quit that's fine
  while you're out looking for cloud nine
• battlestar galactica'da yer alan bir uzay gemisi.
• argoda crack anlamına gelir. iron maiden'in from here to eternity şarkısında da geçer.

  she must be having one of her
  crazy dreams
  she'd never sat on a piece so mean
  it made her feel like she's on cloud nine
  she even thought she heard the
  engine sigh

• taiji sawada'nın çaldığı gruplardan bir diğeri.
• norman whitfield yapımı olan ghetto'da yetişen bir çocuğun crack kokainle tanışmasını anlatmaktadır. fakat işin ilginci ne the temptations üyeleri ne de rahmetli whitfield şarkının uyuşturucu ile olduğunu kabul etmiştir. ingilizce "on cloud nine" deyimi "sevinçten havalara uçmak" anlamına gelmektedir, ama şu şözlerden başka ne anlaşılır bilmiyorum.
  
  işte o sözler;
  
  you can be who you want to be (olmak istediğin kişi olabilirsin)
  you ain't got no responsibility (hiçbir sorumluluğun yoktur)
  every, every man is free (herkes, her insan özgürdür)
  you're million miles away from reality (ve gerçekler milyonlarca mil uzaktadır)
  on cloud nine*
  
  * işte zurnanın zırt dediği yer. buraya "kafa güzelken", "papik devredeyken", "beyaz havadayken" mi eklesek daha uygun olur, yoksa "sevinçten uçarken" mi? biz aldık mesajı. yalnız çok fena özendirmişler.
  
  marvin gaye'in norman whitfield şarkılarını yorumladığı that's the way love is adlı albümde bu şarkının da bir yorumu bulunmaktadır. ben zaten o versiyonunu tercih etmekteyim.
• vancouver'in en yuksek binasi empire landmark hotel'in en ust katinda bulunan donen bar/restoranin ismi. vancouver downtown'in gobeginde olmasindan oturu eger bir iki icecek ya da yemek icin cikarsaniz donuslerde cypress mountain, grouse mountain, lions gate bridge, robson street, false creek, bc place, ubc yarimadasi, english bay binalari ve sonsuz okyanus manzarasi sizi bekliyor demektir.
  
  en guzeli aksamustu gunes batarken cikmak, tum manzarayi hatmedip gunesi orda batirmak, sonrasinda da downtown'in isiklariyla basbasa kalmaktir.
  
  ayrica pek bi guzelinden evanescence sarkisi. muzigine ayri bayiliyorum.
