2038 – U2 – A day without me (1980)

 


Escrita por Bono Vox, The Edge, Adam Clayton e Larry Mullen Jr., foi gravada em 1980 e lançada em 18 de agosto de 1980, no compacto que tinha Things to make and do, instrumental, como Lado B. Sairia também no disco Boy, o de estréia da banda, em 20 de outubro de 1980. Foi produzida por Steve Lillywhite. Na verdade foi a primeira música que ele produziu com a banda. A letra fala de remover uma pessoa do seu círculo social habitual e reflete sobre o que seria o mundo sem a presença dessa pessoa.


A letra:


Starting a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind

I'm dreaming
You're awake
If I were sleeping
What's at stake
A day without me

Whatever the feelings
I keep feeling
What are the feelings
You left behind

Today's a day without me

I started a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind

In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes, and then let go
To the world I left behind
Shed a tear, and then let go

2037 – Bruce Springsteen – Independence day (1980)

 


Escrita por Bruce Springsteen, foi gravada em 24 e 25 de abril de 1980, no Power Station Studio, em New York City e lançada em 17 de outubro de 1980, no disco The River, o quinto de Bruce. Sairia também em compacto, que tinha The River como Lado A, em maio de 1981. Foi produzida por Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt e Jon Landau. Bruce disse que o coração e a alma do disco eram Independence day, Point blank, Stolen car e The River. Ou seja, é uma das quatro canções mais importantes do disco pro próprio Bruce. Fala de um lar que já não pode mais ter pai e filho juntos no mesmo teto. A canção é cantada do filho falando pro pai. Começa com a frase: “Papa go to bed now, it's getting late”, mudando a ordem natural que era o pai dizendo isso pro filho. O filho então reconhece que apesar de algumas similaridades, eles dois brigam demais e é hora do filho partir. É conhecida como melhor trabalho vocal de Bruce, com uma sinceridade brutal que fortalece a canção. Foi escrita ainda em 1977. Bruce cantou e tocou guitarra. Roy Bittan tocou piano. Clarence Clemons tocou sax e pandeiro. Danny Federici tocou orgão. Gary Tallent tocou baixo. Steve Van Zandt tocou guitarra. Max Weinberg tocou bateria.


A letra:


Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate
We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow
Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
There's a darkness in this town that's got us too
But they can't touch me now
And you can't touch me now
They ain't gonna do to me
What I watched them do to you

So say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day
All down the line
Just say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day this time

Now I don't know what it always was with us
We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines
There was just no way this house could hold the two of us
I guess that we were just too much of the same kind

Well say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day all boys must run away
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
All men must make their way come Independence Day

Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's joint
And the highway she's deserted clear down to Breaker's Point
There's a lot of people leaving town now
Leaving their friends, their homes
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone

Well Papa go to bed now, it's getting late
Nothing we can say can change anything now
Because there's just different people coming down here now and they see things in different ways
And soon everything we've known will just be swept away

So say goodbye it's Independence Day
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
But won't you just say goodbye it's Independence Day
I swear I never meant to take those things away

2036 – Neil Young – Captain Kennedy (1980)

 

Escrita por Neil Young, foi gravada em 11 de agosto de 1976, no Indigo Ranch Recording Studio, em Malibu, na California e lançada em 29 de outubro de 1980, no disco Hawks and Doves, o décimo segundo disco de Neil. Foi produzida por Elliot Mazer, Tim Mulligan e Neil Young. Na gravação, só temos Neil tocando violão e cantando. Nenhum outro músico. Fala sobre a vida de Lou Kennedy, um mercador marinho que teve seu barco destruído por um barco alemão em agosto de 1941. Neil estava de ferias em Nassau, nas Bahamas e conheceu Kennedy no começo dos anos 70 e conheceu sua história e compôs essa música em sua homenagem.


A letra:


I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinking about my family and what it was for
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
And when I get to shore
I hope that I can kill good

My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy
He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea
Exploded on the water for everyone to see
And humiliate that American Captain Kennedy

I saw him in Nassau in nineteen-seventy one
His strength was failing but he still ran a run
He worked until his fingers wore to the bone
To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own

He was known in the islands as hundred foot iron
That steel hull freighter was passing its time
And time flew by faster with life on the sea
And the days grew shorter for Captain Kennedy

I am a young mariner headed to war
I'm thinking about my family and what it was for
There's water on the wood and the sails feel good
And when I get to shore
I hope that I can kill good

A letra:


Here in some stranger's room
Late in the afternoon
What am I doing here at all?
Ain't no doubt about it
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Somehow the wires have crossed
Communication's lost
Can't even get you on the telephone
Just got to shout about it
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Well, here in the valley of indecision
I don't know what to do
I feel you slipping away
I feel you slipping away
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Well now you say you're not getting enough
But I remind you of all that bad, bad, bad stuff
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put a band-aid on it?
And stop the bleeding now
Stop the bleeding now
Well...

I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Well, well, well
I know I hurt you then
But hell, that was way back when
Well, do you still have to carry that cross? (Drop it!)
Don't wanna hear about it
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Don't wanna lose you now
Well...
No, no, no, no...

Gonna live, I don't wanna be blocked
I'm gonna live on solid rock

You own a house of cards, never built for shock
You could blow it down in any kind of weather
Now you take two solid rocks, two solid blocks
You know they're gonna stick
Yeah, they're gonna stick together
Oh-oh-oh

Yeah, because the heart that you break
That's the one that you rely on
The bed that you make
That's the one you gotta lie on
When you point your finger 'cause your plan fell through
You got three more fingers pointing back at you yeah

Gonna live on solid rock
I'm gonna live on solid rock
I wanna give, I don't wanna feel blocked
I'm gonna live on solid

Rock, rock, solid rock
Rock, rock, solid rock
I wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked
I'm gonna live on solid

Rock, rock, solid rock
Rock, rock, solid rock
I wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked
I'm gonna live on solid, solid, solid, solid rock
Solid rock, rock
Solid rock, rock

A letra:


I come from down in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We drive out of this valley
Down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
And man, that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we did ride
Yeah, yeah

I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work
On account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet, down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh, down to the river we ride-ide

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't you know some people say
The winter is the best time of them all
Winter is the best of all

People say I'm crazy

Surely you're not happy now
You no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy
Dreamin' my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me

When I tell them that I'm doin' fine
Watchin' shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time, boy?
You're no longer on the ball

I'm just sittin' here watchin' the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer ridin' on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

People askin' questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions

Well, they shake their heads
And they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sittin' here doin' time

I'm just sittin' here watchin' the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer ridin' on the merry-go-rounds
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

A letra:


The sky is crying, the streets are full of tears
Rain come down, wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can read between the lines

Rain come down, forgive this dirty town
Rain come down, and give this dirty town
A drink of water, a drink of wine

If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to

As you'd sleep, I'd think my heart would break in two
I'd kiss your cheek, I'd stop myself from waking you
But in the dark you'd speak my name
You'd say, "Baby what's wrong?"

Oh, here I am baby, I'm coming back for more
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
Yes, and if my love's in vain, how come my love is so strong?

If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
And I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Supposed to be

Now you and me go parallel together and apart
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
Did you never feel the distance
You never tried to cross no line

'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
So far from home, don't you think of me some time

If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to

Well, sky is crying, see the streets are full of tears
Rain come down, wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can read between the lines

We cast the (perfect) spell,

Now it begins - let it begin,
Cleanup Time,
(Show those mothers how to do it),

The queen is in the counting home,
Counting out the money,
The king is in the kitchen,
Making bread and honey,
No friends and yet no enemies,
Absolutely free,
No rats aboard the magic ship,
Of (perfect) harmony,

Now it begins,
Cleanup Time,
(Show those mothers how to do it),

However, far we travel,
Wherever we may roam,
The centre of the circle,
Will always be our home,

The gods are in the heavens,
The angels treat us well,
The oracle has spoken,
We cast the (perfect) spell.

And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Tonight there's fallen angels
And they're waiting for us down in the street
And tonight there's calling strangers
Hear them crying in defeat
Let them go, let them go, let them go
Do their dances of the dead
Let 'em go right ahead girl
You just dry your eyes
And c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go to bed

Baby, baby, baby
I swear I'd drive all night again just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah

There's machines and there's fire
Baby waiting on the edge of town
They're out there for hire
But baby they can't hurt us now
Cause you've got
You've got, you've got my
My love girl

Hey, dry your eyes

Through the wind, through the snow, through the rain
I swear I'd drive all night
I swear I'll drive all night
Through the wind, through the rain
Through the snow, through the rain
Through the wind, through the rain

I've seen your long hair flyin' when you run
I've rnade my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sound and sea
You're high above me now, you're wild and free, ah but
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me, yeah

Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire, but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder, but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold, and lonely on your own

I'll take my chances, babe I'll risk it all
I'll win your love or I'll take the fall
I've made my mind up girl, it's meant to be
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
It's written down somewhere, it's got to be
You're high above me flyin' wild and free
Oh but someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sound and sea
I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be
Oh someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady, you'll accomp'ny me

You will accomp'ny me (Ooh-who) yeah
(Ooh-who, you'll accomp'ny me)
I know you will accomp'ny me now, ah
(Ooh-who, you'll accomp'ny me)
Someday lady (Ooh-who)
Ah, someday lady (Ooh-who you'll accomp'ny me)
Your gonna accomp'ny me now
Your gonna walk with me an' talk with me, yeah
(Ooh-who, ooh-who you'll accomp'ny me, ooh-who)
Yeah (Ooh-who), oh
Gonna accomp'ny me (Ooh-who)
Gonna accomp'ny me, yeah (You'll accomp'ny me)
Someday (Ooh-who)
