ultimi concerti che ho visto #6


amo la musica di otis taylor e ogni volta che ascolto questa canzone mi viene da piangere, quanti cristi in croce dobbiamo ancora avere? ( la foto l'ho scattata al san severino festival e sembra un cristo in croce)...♫

note di otis alla canzone:

"A fictional tale set in a real prison in St. Petersburg, Russia. A child grows up to bec...ome the prison guard of his evil biological father who had abused his mother. While touring in Russia, my guide told me that in the real House of the Crosses, visitors, standing outside the prison gates, and prisoners, shouted messages back and forth through handmade paper cones (trumpets)"

testo della canzone:

THE HOUSE OF THE CROSSES

I went down
to the house of the crosses
i saw my momma
fall on her knees
well she told me
this man's your father
he killed two people
and he raped meshe took her trumpet
she held it in her hand
she yelled out:
"he's a evil man"
she said to me
"i don't know how people could be, i don't know how people could be so evil", she said to meNow I work
the house of the crosses
I watch that evil, that evil man every day
I'm a Guard
in the house of the crosses
I watch that man, every dayevery day, i run to the river,
I try to wash,
wash away my pain,
every day, i run to the river
I try to wash,
wash away my pain
wash away...
