Parece que fue ayer que escuchabamos esta bella canción.
Nos remonta al pasado, pero su letra es muy actual.
Los años han pasado, la gente está lejos pero los recuerdos quedan guardados en nuestra mente.
Una forma de volver al ayer es oyendo esas viejas canciones y revivir esos recuerdos.
Aqui les dejo este éxito de 1978 llamado Reminiscing (Recordando) de Little River Band.
Han pasado más de30 años y todavía me hace recordar esos buenos tiempos.
Aquí les dejo la letra
Reminiscing
The Little River Band
(Graham Goble)
Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
How to tell you girl
I wanna build my world around you
Tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand I'm talkin' about a lifetime plan
That's the way it began, we were hand in hand
Glenn Miller's Band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And the Porter tunes (Night and Day)
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
And on the way back home I promised you'd never be alone
Hurry, don't be late, I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing
Hurry, don't be late, I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. (A Salute to '60s Rock) John Cougar Mellencamp
(Fast rock beat)
E A D A E A D A
They come from the cities and they come from the smaller towns,
E A D A E A D A
beat up cars with guitars and drummers goin' crack, boom, bam.
CHORUS
E A D A
R. O. C. K. in the U. S. A.
E A D A
R. O. C. K. in the U. S. A
E A D A B
R. O. C. K. in the U. S. A, yeah, yeah
(no chord) E A D A etc, for a few more bars
Rockin' in the U. S. A.
- The remainder of the song follows the same pattern:
Said goodbye to their families, said goodbye to their friends;
with pipedreams in their heads and very little money in their hands.
Some are black and some are white, aint't too proud to sleep on the floor tonight.
With the blind faith of Jesus, you know that they just might . . .
(no chord)
be rockin in the USA
Chorus
Voices from nowhere and voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams, turned our world upside down
There was Frankie Lymon, Bobby Fuller, Mitch Ryder (they were rockin')
Jackie Wilson, Shangrilas, Young Rascals (they were rockin')
Spotlight on Martha Reeves, let's don't forget James Brown.
(no chord) (spoken)
Rockin' in the USA. Hey!
Chorus
(repeat and fade)
