from Oannes *

Επιμένουμε ψυχεδελικά, αλλάζοντας δεκαετία και συναντώντας έναν ακόμα από τους μουσικούς του μήνα. Ο Sky Saxon [1937-2009] ήταν ο ιδρυτής, τραγουδιστής και mastermind των Seeds, του εμβληματικού proto-punk, garage γκρουπ των ‘60s. Ακούμε δυο τραγούδια του[ς] από το ιστορικό πρώτο άλμπουμ.

We stick to psychedelia, moving to another decade and meeting another one of this month’s musicians. Sky Saxon [1937-2009] was the founder, singer and mastermind of The Seeds, iconic proto-punk, garage group of the ’60s. We hear two of his songs from the historic first album.

NOBODY SPOIL MY FUN [00:00]
❝ You know there’s always someone
Who wants to spoil your fun
When your fun has just begun
So I’m going to find some little girl
And we’re going to go on the run
I’m going to take her down to broadway
Where the lights and the music are gay
Gonna teach her how to play
Every night and every day
‘Cause I want
Yes, I want
Nobody spoil my fun
You know I’m gonna dress her up, real fine
So much, your going to blow your mind
And then she’s gonna put her high-boots on
You know you want to go along
I’m going to show her how to lose
Her baby baby blues
And then I’m going to give her love
A love she really can use
Cause I want
Yes, I want
Nobody spoil my fun ❞

PUSHING TOO HARD [03:52]
❝ You’re pushin’ too hard, pushin’ on me
You’re pushin’ too hard, what you want me to be
You’re pushin’ too hard about the things you say
You’re pushin’ too hard every night and day
You’re pushin’ too hard
Pushin’ too hard on me (too hard)
Well all I want is to just be free
Live my life the way I want to be
All I want is to just have fun
Live my life like it’s just begun
But you’re pushin’ too hard
Pushin’ too hard on me (too hard)
Well, better listen girl to what I’m tellin’ you
You better listen girl, or we are through
You better stop all your foolin’ around
Stop your runnin’ all over town
Because you’re pushin’ too hard
Pushin’ too hard on me (too hard)
Well I know there’s a lot of fish in the sea
I know some would stay by me
So if you don’t think I’m going to try
You better ask yourself the reason why
Because you’re pushin’ too hard
Pushin’ too hard on me (too hard)
Pushin’ too hard, pushin’ too hard
Pushin’ too hard, pushin’ too hard on me (hard)❞
