Δύο μεγαλειώδεις στιγμές στην ιστορία της rock όπερας.
Hair (1970, σκηνοθεσία: Miloš Forman)
Bασισμένο στο ομώνυμο μιούζικαλ Hair, The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical (Broadway, 1968).
Soldier 1:
We starve-look
At one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Soldier 2:
Somewhere
Inside something there is a rush of
Greatness
Who knows what stands in front of
Our lives
I fashion my future on films in space
Silence
Tells me secretly
Everything
Everything
Claude:
Manchester England England
Manchester England England
(Ensemble:Eyes look your last)
Across the Atlantic Sea
(Arms take your last
embrace)
And I'm a genius genius
(And lips oh you the
doors of breath)
I believe in God
(Seal with a righteous kiss)
And I believe that God believes in Claude
(Seal with a righteous kiss)
That's me, that's me, that's me
(The rest is silence,
The rest is silence,
The rest is silence)
Ensemble:
Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Tommy (1975, σκηνοθεσία: Ken Russel)
Βασισμένο στο ομώνυμο concept album των Who (1969).
"See me, hear me / Listening to you"
Tommy: See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me, heal me, heal me.
Chorus:
Listening to you I get the music.
Gazing at you I get the heat.
Following you I climb the mountain.
I get excitement at your feet!
Right behind you I see the millions.
On you I see the glory.
From you I get opinions.
From you I get the story.
Listening to you I get the music.
Gazing at you I get the heat.
Following you I climb the mountain.
I get excitement at your feet!
[TOMMY AND CHORUS]
Right behind you I see the millions.
On you I see the glory.
From you I get opinions.
From you I get the story.
Listening to you I get the music.
Gazing at you I get the heat (heat).
Following you I climb the mountain.
I get excitement at your feet!
Right behind you I see the millions.
On you I see the glory.
From you I get opinions.
From you I get the story.
Ohhhhh, listening to you I get the music.
Gazing at you I get the heat.
Following you I climb the mountain.
I get excitement at your feet!
Right behind you I see the millions.
On you I see the glory.
From you I get opinions.
From you I get the story.
Listening to you!
Όσοι από εσάς δεν έχετε δει αυτές τις ταινίες, κάντε μια χάρη στον εαυτό σας και δείτε τις. Εγώ τις είδα πριν ένα χρόνο περίπου (ντρέπομαι που το λέω) και κάθε φορά που ξαναβλέπω αυτές τις σκηνές με πλημμυρίζει η ίδια γλυκιά συγκίνηση, αλλά και η ίδια μελαγχολία -ή πίκρα;- για την εποχή μου. "Και μπήκαμε στα χρόνια που όλα εξηγούνται και όλα συζητιούνται, κανένας μας δεν φταίει. Και μπήκαμε στα χρόνια που όλα έχουν γίνει. Τι τάχα να ’χει μείνει που ακόμα να μας καίει;"
