dammi quattro accordi...

un caro amico dice che, oramai, lui e il suo gruppo scelgono le canzoni cercando di non superare i quattro accordi: si tratta d'un gruppo amatoriale con sempre meno tempo per le prove, e quindi...
Ho pensato a lui riascoltando questo brano: la musica della versione inglese è d'una semplicità disarmante, molto più di quella originale... scritta da Toto Cutugno.
Solo che a cantare c'era una delle prove dell'esistenza di Dio: Ray Charles.

It's happening so suddenly it's hurtin'

runnin' through our fingers now desertin'

we built it all on solid ground

but now it's not so certain

don't want to look into your eyes

and see our good love dyin'.

And all the pain and bitterness today

in every single promise we betrayed

the hurt we never noticed till it wouldn't go away

and if you look into my eyes

you're gonna end up cryin'

Good love gone bad

now all our dreams are broken

closing doors that once were open

knowing in our hearts that it's all over

still deep inside you know you wanna stay

but you can't bring back yesterday

when all the good we had is goin' so bad.

Good love gone bad

we stopped believin'

stopped the wanting, stop the needin'

singin' to ourselves that it was over

still deep inside I know I wanna stay

but it's so hard to go out separate ways

when all the good we had is hurtin' so bad

No good guys or no bad guys

Wrong or right

Sometimes things are not so black and white

You hold on till it kills you

or you finally see the light

And if you look into her eyes

nobody is tryin'.

Good love gone bad

now all our dreams are broken

closing doors that once were open

knowing in our hearts that it's all over

still deep inside you know you wanna stay

but you can't bring back yesterday

when all the good we had is goin' so bad.

Good love gone bad

we stopped believin'

stopped the wanting, stop the needin'

singin' to ourselves that it was over

still deep inside I know I wanna stay

but it's so hard to go out separate ways

when all the good we had is hurtin' so bad

No good guys and no bad guys after all

and all I really know

is I still love you.

Good love gone bad

now all our dreams are broken

closing doors that once were open

knowing in our hearts that it's all over

still deep inside you know you wanna stay

but you can't bring back yesterday

when all the good we had is goin' so bad.

Good love gone bad

we stopped believin'

stopped the wanting, stop the needin'

singin' to ourselves that it was over

still deep inside I know I wanna stay

but it's so hard to go out separate ways

when all the good we had is hurtin' so bad
