Ринго Старр присоединился к Робби Робертсону из группы The Band для записи кавера «The Weight», сообщает Ultimate Classic Rock.
В работе принимали участие музыканты из 10 стран, в том числе из США, Италии, Японии, Аргентины и Ямайки.
Как заявили в фонде Playing For Change, великие песни могут путешествовать по всему миру, преодолевая то, что разделяет людей, и показывая, как легко можно ладить друг с другом, когда играет музыка.
Проект фонда называется Songs Around The World. Он призван дарить надежду и вдохновение ради будущего планеты.
Не первый раз встречаю в Youtube видеорелизы Фонда Playing For Change - почти всегда это удачные коллаборации музыкантов с разных уголков планеты. Экс-битлов ранее не замечал, возможно, Ринго проложил первую тропинку в этот проект. А сама песня оказалась настолько знаковой в общем контексте мирового рока, что захотелось погуглить и просветиться) http://song-story.ru/the-weight-the-band/
Noticed that the non-live version of this song wasn't on youtube..
Lyrics: I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head "Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" He just grinned and shook my hand, "no" was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And (and) (and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me)
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on let's go downtown" She said, "I gotta go but my friend can stick around"
Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And (and) (and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day "Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And (and) (and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me)
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog He said, "I will fix your rack if you'll take Jack, my dog" I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man" He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can"
Yeah, take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And (and) (and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me)
Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And (and) (and) you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me)
