Waiting Around To Die
Revisando conversaciones antiguas de nuestro foro me encontré con este hilo de “Videos Raros” en el que comentábamos viejos vídeos de músicos de los 60 y 70 difíciles de encontrar.
Uno de nuestros amigos nos presento este vídeo de Townes Van Zandt interpretando el clásico “Waiting Around To Die” y como estoy preparando una revisión he pensado que seria una buena idea recuperar este documento aquí.
El clip nos muestra al músico Tejano en su casa, tocando ante su novia y su vecino, y es estremecedor ver la expresión que van tomando sus rostros y la emoción a medida que avanza la interpretación.
Waiting Around To Die
Sometimes I don’t know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I can’t even see the reason why
I guess I keep on gamblin’, lots of booze and lots of ramblin’
It’s easier than just a-waitin’ ’round to die
One-time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
He beat her with a belt once cause she cried
She told him to take care of me, she headed down to Tennessee
It’s easier than just a-waitin’ ’round to die
I came of age and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Seemed easier than just a-waitin’ ’round to die
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
The posse caught up with me, drug me back to Muskogee
It’s two long years, just a-waitin’ ’round to die
Now I’m out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don’t steal or cheat or drink or lie
His name’s codeine, he’s the nicest thing I’ve seen
Together we’re gonna wait around and die
