StillWater - Almost Famous Tour '73

Finally I found the full album of the rock n' roll legends of StillWater. There's nothing more to say, just to enjoy!

The lost eyes of the matador

They call him the matador, he settles all the scores, he kills in plain sight with a blade and a smile. Well he'll settle things in the sun, plays god like the chosen one. Well he's storied from town to town; kills for sport and pride.
Lately I've been wondering what's been going on. I've been here before but I don't remember when and every time we get to where we're entering I feel my beliefs and hopes surrendering. 'Cause like the enemies that we are battling I am nothing but a human alien. Left with nothing else but to keep wandering down this path whilst stopping my hands trembling. I've seen inside the devil's dreams where young men die and graveyards open up their arms for mothers left to cry. I have seen the bleeding and I hate what we've done, but just like every other fool here I'll keep marching on. Because I know that I'll be coming home soon with a soldier's eyes.
I left my home still as a child, I walked a thousand soary miles to wait for my father, to gather up his tools. He said my boy you've got to run, don't wait for me, don't wait for mum; we'll come get you, when it's safe for us to move. So I waited many years, held back the pain behind my tears, for my father, to come find me like he said. And in that time I was alone, so many years without my home, I made brothers of a different kind instead. And at the time I didn't know, just how hard the wind could blow towards disaster, and the things that I would see. I never found my father, I never found my mother even would I know in my lifetime I will be. A hero into the masses, to those born without chances, there's a freedom that everyone deserves. I know there's greed and there's corruption, I've seen death and mass destruction, but I'm telling you, and I hope that I'm heard:
I will not be commanded, I will not be controlled and I will not let my future go on without the help of my soul!

Note

Every night you wrote another line with a bloody broken bottle; and every day you wish it away. Why don't you pull the pin on that grenade, you coddle? With your head in your hands, a stoic last stand of a dying man...
I wanted to believe as I watched your world crumble in your hands. I wanted to believe as you raised your glass to your last stand. And I wanted to believe you would win the war in your head that I did not understand.
Every night the questions poured out of your wounded eyes. Damn dark things every day. You used to pray listen to the black raven sing. You wanted to believe as you were falling to your knees, struggling to stand, with your life in your hand. The sad last stand of a broken man.
The sound of you falling, I did not understand as the trembling heart of a man. Did not understand the sound of a trembling heart...

Venus, the Bloody Mountain

De la un rasarit la un alt apus, aceeasi dimineata, aceeasi vara, acelasi parfum in aer, acelasi soare in ochi, aceasi mare dar cu un alt munte, aceeasi luna iulie, aceeasi luna plina, Venus, Mercur, Saturn si un munte insangerat...

... dar intr-un fel ne intalnim dimineata in zona in care ceata ne descopera viata. Dar intr-un fel ne intalnim dimineata pe fond sentimental, pe fond sentimental deprimat de atatea crime impreuna cu tine. Timpul mi s-a terminat. Ce-ti pasa tie, femeie cu zambet de drac, daca în clipa asta am s-o fac pana la capat? Da, bine-nteles, aseara am baut. N-am putut sa dorm, simteam niste dureri acolo în somn. Sunt in 90 de moduri, esti in 90 de feluri. Vreau doar un mesaj sa transmit din sufletul tau, in rest totul e calm, doar dragostea mea ricoseaza in sufletul tau! Sunt in 90 de feluri, esti in 90 de moduri. Ti se pare ciudat daca te-am intrebat cum te simti? Cu ochii sparti de soare chipul tau l-am ocolit. Ce-ai face daca intr-o zi mi-as lua capul in maini si ti-as striga in ureche cu buzele lui "Cum te simti?"?!? Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in oasele tale, simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in apele tale, simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in visele tale. Caut orase noi sa-mi verific prudenta; verifica absenta! In ochiul tau sunt un erou cu capul gol de mintea mea. Ce mai faci? Cum te simti? Bine? Foarte bine, foarte bine...
Relaxeaza-te...

Summer of 27

If I ever, if I never, make me understand the thought whatever!
Make me see! Make me be! Make me understand you're there for me!
Take this life, I'm right here!
Stay awhile and breathe me in away from the light of the sun...
