Simple man.
Per ironia della sorte tra le canzoni che amo di piu' ci sono due cover. Una delle due e' questa dei Deftones che, chissa' per quale motivo, avevo su una cassettaccia nel 1997 che non sono mai riuscito a trovare in digitale e di cui sembra che tutti ignorassero l'esistenza.
Finche' non c'ha pensato il music-biz a pubblicare un disco di b-sides dei Deftones (tutta roba che chi, come me, e' cresciuto coi 'Tones ha da almeno 10 anni) e, sorpresa sorpresa, c'e' la cover che dico io. L'originale e' dei Lynyrd Skynyrd e la sto sentendo per la prima volta in questi istanti. La versione alternativa e' dei Deftones e forse dire che mi commuove sempre e' un po' troppo. Certo pero' che...
Simple Man

Lynyrd Skynyrd
(Gary Rossington - Ronnie Vanzant)
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... don’t live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you’ll find love,
And don’t forget son,
There is someone up above.
(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won’t you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(chorus)
Boy, don’t you worry... you’ll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(chorus)
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.

And don’t forget son,
There is someone up above.
(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won’t you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(chorus)
Boy, don’t you worry... you’ll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(chorus)
