Le Perle Musicali/9 - Carly Simon

Carly Simon forse non è la più famosa interprete di questa bellissima canzone, che ha riempito non pochi sogni giovanili di noi “vecchietti”, ma questa sua versione è, secondo me, una delle più belle, anche grazie ad un arrangiamento musicale di tutto rispetto, soft senza essere sdolcinato...

[…] I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish,
But he just kept right on strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song […]

…in questa domenica d’agosto, voglio esaudire la richiesta di una nostra lettrice, Mirka, che mi ha chiesto un pezzo di Prokofiev, che volentieri metto a disposizione per l’ascolto. Purtroppo non conosco l’identità degli esecutori, ma ho trovato l’esecuzione molto bella.
