these dreams

• yapılmış en güzel aşk şarkılarının sahibi jim croce'un başka bir şaheseri. bu yüce varlığın keşfedilmemiş olması çok üzücü çünkü gerçekten aşkı, aşık olmayı, aşk acısını en güzel anlatan insanlardan biri. yazdığı melodiler ise söz olmasa bile o duyguyu hissettirecek türden.
  
  bu şarkıda da aşkla hayatta kalan birisinden bahsediyor, yıllar önce bitmiş bir aşkla hem de. aslında burada bana söz düşmez, dinlemek gerekiyor.
  
  once we were lovers
  but somehow things have changed
  now we're just lonely people tryin' to forget each other's names
  now we're just lonely people tryin' to forget each other's names
  
  what came between us?
  maybe we were just too young to know
  but now and then i feel the same
  and sometimes at night i think i hear you callin' my name
  hmm hmm hmm these dreams
  they keep me goin' these days
  
  once we were lovers
  but that was long ago
  we lived together then
  and now we do not even say hello
  we lived together then
  and now we do not even say hello
  
  what came between us?
  maybe we were just too young to know
  but now and then i feel the same
  and sometimes at night i think i hear you callin' my name
  hmm hmm hmm these dreams
  they keep me goin' these days
• robbie williams 'ın 'i've been expecting you' albümünden, gözleri kapatıp da dinlenesi hatta eşliğinde hayal kurulası, evet mümkünse öyle zira açıkken aynı etkiyi yaratmıyor. sözlerini de verelim tam olsun:
  
  she lies on the bed
  with her hands in her head
  and she screams
  he gets a kick out of losing the plot so it seems
  he makes you all laugh so she's the one
  doing harm
  but how can you fight when she's not
  the one under his arm
  
  these dreams have let you down
  take it don't break it just turn it around
  these dreams won't let you down
  
  you never stopped loving his misfortunate
  lazy ways
  all the memories that you should've had
  are a cabaret haze
  there's just a hole where you know he
  should've been
  there's no one worse off than you
  when you can't describe what you've seen
  
  these dreams have let you down
  take it don't break it just it turn around
  these dreams won't let you down
  
  where do you go when you're all alone
  in your bed
  do you cry in your sleep cos it's
  better unsaid
  have you forgotten your past because
  that's how it seems
  is it too hard to think so you edit
  your dreams
  and play them back again and again
  
  these dreams have let you down
  take it don't break it just turn it around
  these dreams won't let you down
  
  these dreams have let you down
  take it don't break it just turn it around
  these dreams won't let you down
  
  you've got tomorrow tomorrow
  you've got tomorrow tomorrow
  you've got tomorrow tomorrow
  you've got tomorrow tomorrow
  you've got tomorrow tomorrow
• 1985 cikisli, heart in seslendirdigi ve heart i bilboard hot 100 de ilk kez #1 yapan harika bir sarki.
  derler ki bu sarki da alisilanin aksine nancy wilson sarkiyi seslendirmis ve ann wilson ise vokal yapmistir, cok da guzel olmustur.
  sarkinin akustik kayitlarini bulup dinleyiniz, dinletiniz, izleyiniz, izletiniz, bunun icin de the road home (1995) albumune veya heart: alive in seattle (2003) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387279/) kayitlarina bakiniz.
  
  spare a little candle
  save some light for me
  figures up ahead
  moving in the trees
  white skin in linen
  perfume on my wrist
  and the full moon that hangs over
  these dreams in the mist
  
  darkness on the edge
  shadows where i stand
  i search for the time
  on a watch with no hands
  i want to see you clearly
  come closer than this
  but all i remember
  are the dreams in the mist
  
  these dreams go on when i close my eyes
  every second of the night i live another life
  these dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
  every moment i'm awake the further i'm away
  
  is it cloak 'n' dagger
  could it be spring or fall
  i walk without a cut
  through a stained glass wall
  weaker in my eyesight
  the candle in my grip
  and words that have no form
  are falling from my lips
  
  there's something out there
  i can't resist
  i need to hide away from the pain
  there's something out there
  i can't resist
  
  the sweetest song is silence
  that i've ever heard
  funny how your feet
  in dreams never touch the earth
  in a wood full of princes
  freedom is a kiss
  but the prince hides his face
  from dreams in the mist
• jim croce'unki dünyanın en güzel aşk şarkısı olabilir. ne yapılırsa yapılsın bitmeye yakın bir ilişki varsa eğer, üstelik güzel anılar ulu orta bırakılmışsa, onlara bakıp bakıp bu şarkıyı dinlemek gerek. umut gerek insanlara. her şeyin bambaşka olabileceği hayali gerek.

  çook güzel.
• heart'ın 70'lerdeki folk/hard rock sound'undan, 80'lerin pop rock sound'una geçtiği, grupla aynı ismi taşıyan 8. albümlerinin 3. single'ı^** ve grubun ilk liste başı şarkısı. ayrıca nancy wilson vokalli ilk heart single'ıdır.
  
  o zamanlar için nadir olan bir kayıt videosu da bulunur.
• on sene sonrasında bile dinlediğim o ilk ana beni götüren zamanın ötesinde bi’ şarkıdır. usul usul söylenerek kalbi kırık bünyelere ilaç gibi gelir. üzerine gereksiz bi’ umutlu hissiyatı getiren şarkıdır. nefis.
