Chan Marshall aka Cat Power schrijft een ode aan Bob Dylan en doet dat goed. 'Song to Bobby' is te beluisteren op haar nieuwste plaat 'Jukebox', net als covers van onder meer Frank Sinatra ('New York'), James Brown ('Lost Someone') en Billie Holliday ('Don't Explain'). Mooi, zeer mooi zelfs. En momenteel helemaal gratis te beluisteren op de luisterpaal.
Song to Bobby
I wanna tell you
I've always wanted to tell you
But I never had the chance to sing
What I feel in my heart
From the beginning to my dying day
I was fifteen, sixteen maybe
In the park I was waving my arms
You were aware I could swear
and you sang the song that I was screaming
I wanted you to ...
Another time was in South Carolina
It's always been the third encore
Who's wind came blowin' in?
Can you tell me who were you singing for?
Oh my god can you tell me who you were singing to?
Phone call from your New York City office
You were supposedly asking to see me
Oh how I wanted to tell you
But I was just only 400 miles away
Who could believe that you were calling
I was in DC, I was 400 miles behind
Backstage pass in my hand
Giving you my heart was my plan
I wish I could tell you
My chance
In the middle of a stadium in Paris, France
Can I finally tell you?
Can I finally tell you?
To... be my man.
April, Paris, can I see you
Can you please be my man
I wanna tell you
I've always wanted to tell you
But I never had the chance to sing
What I feel in my heart
From the beginning to my dying day
I was fifteen, sixteen maybe
In the park I was waving my arms
You were aware I could swear
and you sang the song that I was screaming
I wanted you to ...
Another time was in South Carolina
It's always been the third encore
Who's wind came blowin' in?
Can you tell me who were you singing for?
