18-08-1997 EVERLONG

di Grohl

FOO FIGHTERS

Hello
I’ve waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight I throw myself in two
Out of the red
Out of her head she sang

Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow, how you wanted it to be
I’m over my head
Out of her head she sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang…

17-08-1994 Il singolo di Elton John uscito a maggio “Can you feel the love tonight” è certificato disco d’oro negli USA; il testo è di Tim Rice e la canzone è nella colonna sonora del film Disney “Il re leone”.

17-08-1988 SWEET CHILD O’ MINE

di Rose, Hudson, McKagan, Stradlin, Adler

GUNS’N ROSES

She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long, I’d probably break down and cry

Whoa, oh, oh
Sweet child o’ mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I’d hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

Whoa, oh, oh
Sweet child o’ mine…
