1a canzone al giorno

E' una pietra miliare nella storia della musica rock e il riff di chitarra è uno dei più mitici. Ed è una vergognosa vergogna che ancora non l'avessi postata. Grazie ad Andrea che la sta studiando a chitarra ho provato a vedere cosa avevo messo dei Deep Purple e ho scoperto che... questa mancava. Perchè sono proprio i Deep Purple i protagonisti del blog di oggi e la canzone non poteva non essere che "Smoke on the water" incisa nel 1972 dell'album "Machine Head". Vediamo se si rimedia a questa vergogna. Buon ascolto!!

Smoke on the water (Deep Purple)

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Uh, Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids on the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold, and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights, a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
Ha, I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
