waiting for the miracle

• leonard cohen'in aşmış iyi şarkısı.
• ilk sozlerini okudugumda cok hosuma giden (yazan kisi ve zaman babinda..), dinneyince amcamin sesi boru gibiymis dedirten.. miracle lara inandiran ama hayal kirikligi ve muz kabigini engelleyemeyen sarkilardan biri..
• natural born killers ın soundtrack ından ....adamda ses a$mı$ derecede
  etkileyiici
• "the future" albumunden ayni zamanda. album versiyonu daha uzun.
• baby, i've been waiting,
  i've been waiting night and day.
  i didn't see the time,
  i waited half my life away.
  there were lots of invitations
  and i know you sent me some,
  but i was waiting
  for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
  i know you really loved me.
  but, you see, my hands were tied.
  i know it must have hurt you,
  it must have hurt your pride
  to have to stand beneath my window
  with your bugle and your drum,
  and me i'm up there waiting
  for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
  ah i don't believe you'd like it,
  you wouldn't like it here.
  there ain't no entertainment
  and the judgements are severe.
  the maestro says it's mozart
  but it sounds like bubble gum
  when you're waiting
  for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
  waiting for the miracle
  there's nothing left to do.
  i haven't been this happy
  since the end of world war ii.
  nothing left to do
  when you know that you've been taken.
  nothing left to do
  when you're begging for a crumb
  nothing left to do
  when you've got to go on waiting
  waiting for the miracle to come.
  i dreamed about you, baby.
  it was just the other night.
  most of you was naked
  ah but some of you was light.
  the sands of time were falling
  from your fingers and your thumb,
  and you were waiting
  for the miracle, for the miracle to come
  ah baby, let's get married,
  we've been alone too long.
  let's be alone together.
  let's see if we're that strong.
  yeah let's do something crazy,
  something absolutely wrong
  while we're waiting
  for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
  nothing left to do ...
  when you've fallen on the highway
  and you're lying in the rain,
  and they ask you how you're doing
  of course you'll say you can't complain --
  if you're squeezed for information,
  that's when you've got to play it dumb:
  you just say you're out there waiting
  for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
• sözleri kesinlikle aşmıştır, insanı lyric manyağı yapar, ayrıca çok uyar filme de, gerçek hayata da. mozart - bubble gum ilişkisi dikkate değerdir, mozart ın yavşaklığının baydığı noktayı açık açık belirten ilk müzisyendir belki l.cohen.
  
  çölde hisseder insan bu şarkıyı dinlerken. bi de bu şarkıyı dinlerken topluca dizlerde ritim tutmak geleneksel bir koc lisesi 83 lüler tribidir. sevimlidir, tripsel bi hava katar olaya.
• 'natural born killers' in baslangic parcasi^*. ancak fondaki 'waiting for the miracle' esliginde col asfaltinda karsidan karsiya gecmekte olan akrebin ezilmesi sahnesi sarki hakkinda yari buruk yari olumsuz hislere neden olabilmektedir.

• ing. mucize beklemek.... hepimizin zaman zaman içinde bulunduğu durum.
• aşmış bir cohen şarkısı daha. cohen amcanın sesi boru gibidir ama derinden etkiler insanı, tribe sokar.
• cohenin yalnizlara bir armaganidir bu sarki... ve bir aciklama -ki-gerekir burada: mucize beklemez belki ama ask bekler. cunku ask, hele de yasanmissa, tadi damakta da kalmissa, mucize degil, gercektir ve oradadir. bu yuzden acitir ya... bilirsin, teni bir dokunma mesafesindedir, sesi iki uc tus otededir ama kavusamazsin, beklersin, arasin da... uyuyasin yine ona...
  
  yazarin notu: bazi ifadeler sirf sus olsun diye tirnak icine alinmaz. 'oyle gerekiyorsa' bekler ask'taki tirnak icine 'zoom' ister yazar^**
