marillion - clutching at straws - 08

lyrics: dick^**
music: dick/kelly/mosley/rothery/trewavas

read some kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now
something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now
found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol can thrill me now
it's getting late in the game to show any pride or shame
i just burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now
doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover, need another time-out now
like any sort of hero turning down to zero still standing out in any crowd
pulling seventeen with experience and dreams, sweating out a happy hour
where you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime
to burn a little brighter now, burn a little brighter now

dr. finlay: "and my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach 30"

torch: "christ - it's a romantic way to go really, it's part of the heritage, it's your round i'n'it?"

we burn a little brighter now

read some kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now
it was something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now
found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol thrill me now
getting late in the game to show any pride or shame
burn a little brighter now, we burn a little brighter now
we burn a little brighter now

william orbit'in ilk grubu. 80'lerin basinda bir trio olarak ortalarda gozuktuler. 1990'larin ortasinda kisa bir reunion yaptilar. toward the unknown region isimli wea etiketli bir ambient album kaydettiler birlikte. orbit'in diger kendi projeleri gibi biraz zayif, ama gumbo ya ya isimli bir guzellik var.

shady bard adlı abimizin kafa dinlendirici şarkısı.

sözleri;
what a time to pick a fight
the world is full of those tonight
i looked to you
you stole my life
but here it is the simple task

save me...
save me...
save me...

save me...
save me...
save me...

what a time to pick a fight
the world is full of those to find
the world is full of those to find
the world is full of those tonight

aşk acısının ardındaki yakarışları anlatan duygusal aşk şarkılarıdır bunlar.
"torch"kelime anlamı olarak meşale demektir. torch song terimi de "karşılıksız aşkın ateşini hala içinde taşımak" ^{* *} deyiminden türemiştir.
ilk zamanlar solistler genellikle kadın olsa da sonraki yıllarda erkek şarkıcılara da torch singer itafı yapılmaktadır. (bkz: frank sinatra)

bu şarkılara bir kaç örnek verirsek,
"can't help lovin' dat man" (1927),
"lili marlene" (1938),
"one for my baby" (1943),
"cry me a river" (1953),
"the man that got away" (1954),
"ne me quitte pas"
"here's that rainy day" (1959),
"by the time ı get to phoenix" (1965),
"one less bell to answer" (1970),
"and ı am telling you" (1982),
"i will always love you" (whitney houston cover) (1992)
"you're beautiful" (2004).
