from Oannes *

Η αυθεντική εκτέλεση του κομματιού των Pop – Bowie, που θα γινόταν επιτυχία 7 χρόνια αργότερα στο άλμπουμ του DB μ’ αυτό τον τίτλο, με τη συνεργασία της Tina Turner. Στα αυτιά μου, η ηχητική προσέγγιση εδώ, και φυσικά η ερμηνεία του Iggy, μετατρέπουν το μεταγενέστερο ‘Tonight’ σε ανέκδοτο.

✻

The original version of the Pop – Bowie song, that would become a success 7 years later on DB’ s album by this title, with Tina Turner’s contribution. In my ears, the arrangement on this one, and of course Iggy’s interpretation, turn the later ‘Tonight’ into a joke.

❝ I saw my baby
She was turning blue
I knew that soon, her
Young life was through
And so I got down on my knees
Down by her bed
And these are the words
To her I said
Everything will be alright tonight
Everything will be alright tonight
No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks tonight
Tonight
I am gonna love her till the end
I am gonna love her till the end
I will love her till I die
I will see her in the sky
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight ❞
