Like a Rock
Para ouvir MUITO alto!
Na história da música este «Like a Rock» de Bob Seger terá sempre um lugar de especial destaque.
A voz rouca de Bob Seger, numa composição absolutamente genial, sublinhada por um baixo indiscutivelmente virtuoso, um piano que sublinha nos lugares certos, tudo num arranjo extraordinário que leva a música num crescendo até ao solo final, só ao alcance de alguns eleitos.
Às vezes há momentos de música assim.
Absolutamente fantástico!
Like a Rock
Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock,
I was strong as I could be
Like a rock,
nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock,
I was something to see
Like a rock
And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
twenty years I don't know
sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall recall Like a rock.
standin' arrow straight
Like a rock,
chargin' from the gate
Like a rock,
carryin' the weight
Like a rock
Like a rock,
the sun upon my skin
Like a rock,
hard against the wind
Like a rock,
I see myself again
Like a rock
