When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it’s one more beer and I don’t hear you anymore
We’ve all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn’t you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You’re a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
I never realised the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I’m strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It’s four o’clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I’m sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music’s still alive
And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
They’re coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
Muzica lui Ellington a schimbat lumea. El o numea muzica americana mai degrabă decat jazz, si ii placea să-i descrie pe cei care l-au influentat ca „dincolo de orice incadrare”. Mai mult decat atat, a daramat importante bariere rasiale in societatea americană. Pionier al jazz-ului, „Ducele” si-a adus o contributie definitorie la inaugurarea erei sale [...]
Avand in vedere ca stilul anilor ’60 a revenit in tendinte, creatorii de moda se folosesc de imaginea celor mai cunoscute personaje ale acelor timpuri pentru a sublinia in colectiile lor eleganta si rafinamentul vremii. Una dintre cele mai cunoscute si apreciate imagini din acea perioada este fara doar si poate Jane Birkin, principala sursa de [...]
I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands
In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit
And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars [...]
My baby loves loving, my baby loves loving
She’s got what it takes, and she knows how to use it
My baby loves loving, my baby loves loving
She’s got what it takes, and she knows how to use it
I was lonely once in this great big world
Just a nowhere man without a girl
‘Till that lucky day when [...]

There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun
I need to tell you
How you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay
And I can’t explain
But it’s something about the way you look [...]
It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it’s not much [...]
You could never know what it’s like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there’s a cold lonely light that shines from you
You’ll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I’m coming back again
I got a taste of love [...]
