Pesme pesme koje se bave predstojećom sudbinom i sa čime ćemo se svi suočiti u našim životima, umiranjem...

Suočavanje sa smrću je jako teško, ako ne i nemoguć zadatak.
Ovi bendovi ponudili su nam neke smernice, ili su nam bar malo bacili svetla na ovu situaciju,
sa nezaboravnim rečima koji se poklapaju sa instrumentima



.1. "Great Gig In The Sky" (1973) - Pink Floyd


Nema teksta u ovoj "jezivoj" pesmi, koja je potpuno - Pink Flojd koncept -
pesma koja je jednostavno trebalo da zvuči kao umiranje.
Plač pevačice Kler Tori u pesmi verovatno dolazi od benda koji joj je rekao:
"Ovde nema reči. Ovo je pesma o umiranju - samo pevaj o tome."




And I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do, I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime
If you can hear this whispering you are dying
 
2. "Castles Made Of Sand" (1967) – Jimi Hendrix


Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face,
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool
He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
And so castles made of sand,
Fall in the sea, eventually
A little Indian brave who before he was ten,
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends,
And he built a dream that when he grew up,
He would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief
Many moons passed and more the dream grew stronger,
Until tomorrow, he would sing his first war song,
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong,
Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand,
Melts into the sea, eventually
There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown,
'Cause she was crippled for life, and she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
So she decided to die
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled
"You won't hurt me no more"
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going
And so castles made of sand
Slips into the sea, eventually......................................

Ovde postoje 3 priče.
Prva strofa je o njegovom metaforičkom bratu koga je odvela socijalna služba.
Druga strofa bavi se čovekom i njegovom smrti.
Treća strofa o tome kako talasi odnose njegovu majku u metaforičkom smislu
i na samom kraju on sebe oslobađa ovog zemaljskog tela
.U suštini, "zamkovi napravljeni od peska, sklizavaju u more, na kraju."
Svi ćemo neizbežno sresti svoj kraj.
 
3. "Candle In The Wind" (1973) – Elton John

Ova pesma napisana je kao sećanje na Merilin Monro.
A onda je prepravljena kao oda Princezi Dajani 1997. godine.
Pesma ima osećaj saosećanja za one koje smo izgubili i zato tako lepo zvuči, ali ipak žalosno.




Goodbye, Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh, the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye, Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye, Norma Jeane
From the young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.......................................
 
4. "Spirit In The Sky" (1969) – Norman Greenbaum




"Kada umrem i kada me sahrane, idem na najbolje mesto
Kada legnem da umremI
dem pravo do duhova na nebu"
Ovo je poprilično direktna pesma koja se odnosi na smrt.
Normanov klasični rok hit bio je u preko 50 filmova i bezbroj tv emisija i reklama.
Pesma je himna koja odjekuje ali i služi kao podsetnik da je kraj života neizbežan.


When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
Oh he'll recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die (when you die)
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best
Never been a sinner, I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up
with the spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
 
5. "Ohio" (1971) – Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young


Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?
--------------------------------------------
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?
Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio
Four dead in Ohio (Oh)
Four dead in Ohio (There're four of them)
Four dead in Ohio (How many more?)
Four dead in Ohio (Why?)
Four dead in Ohio (I wanna know why)
Four dead in Ohio (You better tell me why)
Four dead in Ohio (Why?)

"Ohajo" je napisao Nil Jang, a izvode je Krozbi, Stils, Neš i Jang
kao odgovor na proteste i pucnjavu u Kent državi 1970. godine.
Pesma je postala himna kaunter kulture dekade.
 
6. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" (1973) – Bob Dylan

Dilanova pesma "Knockin On Heavens Door" je izvođenje nečega
što zaista možete da čujete na sahrani. I zaista je ova pesma izvođena
milion puta na takvim događajima.
Dilan je dugačko životno putovanje i smrt uspeo da svede u samo 2 i po minuta.



Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, eh yeah
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
----------------------------------------------------
 
7. "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" (1976) – Blue Öyster Cult


All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40, 000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40, 000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40, 000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid
Come on, baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)

Tekst ove pesme je korisni podsetnik da se ne treba plašiti smrti
kada joj se približavate i umesto toga treba uživati u momentima
koji su nam ostali sa onima koji su uz nas i koje volimo
. Bend objašnjava da se radi o "večnoj ljubavi".
 
8. "Dancing With Mr. D" (1973) – Rolling Stones

"Da li će to viri otrov koji ću sipati u čašu?
Hoće li biti sporo ili brzo?""
D" u naslovu odnosi se na smrt (death),
Kit Ričards je koketirao sa smrću ceo svoj život, uključujući narkomaniju,
kućne požare, brutalne padove i relativno skoro - strujni udar između ostalih stvari.
Možda je Džeger baš imao Ričardsa na umu dok je pevao ovu pesmu.


You're dirty
Oh, you're dirty
Yeah, down in the graveyard where we have our tryst
The air smells sweet, the air smells sick
He never smiles, his mouth merely twists
The breath in my lungs feels clinging and thick
The palms of my hands is clammy and wet
Lord, I was dancing, dancing, dancing so free
Dancing, dancing, dancing so free
Dancing, Lord, keep your hand off me
Dancing with Mr. D, Lord
Wherever
(D)
And will it be poison put in my glass?
Will it be slow or will it be fast?
The bite of a snake, the sting of a spider
A drink of Belladonna on a Toussaint night
Hiding in a corner in New York City
Looking down a forty-four in West Virginia
Wel, I was dancing, dancing, dancing so free
Dancing, dancing, dancing so free
Dancing, Lord, keep your hand off me
Dancing with Mr. D, ow, whoo
Dancing, dancing
--------------------------------------------
Lord I was dancing, dancing, dancing so free
Dancing, dancing, dancing so free
Dancing, Lord, keep your hand off me
Dancing with Mr. D., Lord, sing it now (Mr. D.)
One night I was dancing with a lady in black
Wearing black silk gloves and a black silk hat
She looked at me longing with black velvet eyes
She gazed at me strange all cunning and wise
I saw the flesh just fall off her bones
The eyes in her skull was burning like coals
Lord, have mercy, fire and brimstone
I was dancing with Mistress D
Lord, I was dancing, dancing, dancing so free
I was dancing, dancing, dancing so free, oh
Dancing, dancing, dancing so free
Dancing, dancing (good God)
I was dancing, dancing, Lord keep your hand off me
Dancing, dancing (whoo)
I was dancing, dancing (with Mr. D)
I was dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing (whoo)
Lord I was dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing
 
9. "Dream On" (1973) – Aerosmith


Every time when I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
And it went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books, written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true, oh
All the things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for a year
Sing for the laughter, and sing the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear
Sing it with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until the dream come true
----------------------------------------------------
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear
Sing it with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Ova pesma je lansirala Aerosmit u vrtoglave visine rokenrola.
Stiven Tajler se seća delova života koje je već iskusio ili propustio,
a smrt može da stigne već sutra.
Jednostavno nikad se ne zna, a ako može da vas zamoli za jednu stvar,
onda je to da sanjate i nastavite da živite svoj život.
 
10. "Save the Life of my Child" (1968) – Simon & Garfunkel


Ova pesma je priča o majci koja moli za pomoć jer se njenom detetu
bliži kraj života smrtonosnim skokom. Poslušajte pesmu pa ćete shvatiti celu priču.


"Good God! Don't jump!"
A boy sat on the ledge.
An old man who had fainted was revived.
And everyone agreed it would be a miracle indeed
If the boy survived.
"Save the life of my child!"
Cried the desperate mother.
The woman from the supermarket
Ran to call the cops.
"He must be high on something, " someone said.
Though it never made The New York Times.
In The Daily News, the caption read,
"Save the life of my child!"
Cried the desperate mother.
A patrol car passing by
Halted to a stop.
Said officer MacDougal in dismay:
"The force can't do a decent job
'Cause the kids got no respect
For the law today (and blah blah blah)."
"Save the life of my child!"
Cried the desperate mother.
"What's becoming of the children?"
People asking each other.
When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd
And made them wild
In an atmosphere of freaky holiday.
When the spotlight hit the boy,
The crowd began to cheer,
He flew away.
"Oh, my Grace, I got no hiding place."
 
11. "Hey Joe" (1965) – Jimi Hendrix


Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun of your hand?
Hey Joe, I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Oh
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man, yeah
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man
Huh, and that ain't too cool
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your mama down
You shot her down now
Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down
Shot her down in the ground, yeah
Yeah
Yes, I did, I shot her
You know I caught her messin' round, messin' round town
Yes, I did, I shot her
You know I caught my old lady messin' 'round town
And I gave her the gun
I shot her
Alright
Shoot her one more time again, baby
Yeah
Oh, dig it
Ah, alright
Hey, Joe
Where you gonna run to now? Where you gonna run to?
Hey Joe, I said
Where you gonna run to now? Where you, where you gonna go?
Well, dig
I'm goin' way down south
Way down to Mexico way
Alright
I'm goin' way down south
Way down where I can be free
Ain't no one gonna find me
Ain't no hangman gonna
He ain't gonna put a rope around me
You better believe right now
I gotta go now
Hey, Joe
You better run on down
Goodbye, everybody, ow
Hey, hey, Joe


Pesmu su snimili i izvodili mnogi umetnici od kada se prvi put pojavila tokom 60-ih godina
, ali najpopularnija je bila kada je objavio Džimi Hendriks kao debi singl.
Ona se bavi pričom o čoveku i eventualnim ubistvom njegove supruge.
 
12. "In My Time Of Dying" (1975) – Led Zeppelin



Led Cepelin nija napisao ovu pesmu (ovo je stara gospel melodija),
ali ono šta su uradili sa njom je zaista pretvaranje u pravu rok legendarnu pesmu.
Pevač Robert Plant moli za oproštaj od svojih bezbroj grešaka u životu
na svom uzbudljivom životnom putu, a Džimi Pejdž nudi nezaboravan slajd na gitari.



In my time of dying
Want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do
Is take my body home.
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy.
Jesus gotta make up, sure know
Jesus gotta make up
Jesus gonna make up my dyin' bed.
Meet me, Jesus, meet me
Ooh, meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me, Lord
Oh, please meet me with another pair.
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Oh-oh, well, well, well, so I can die easy.
Jesus gotta make up, somebody, somebody
Oh, oh, Jesus gotta make up
Jesus gonna make it my dyin' bed.
Oh, Saint Peter, at the gates of heaven
Won't you let me in?
I never did no harm
I never did no wrong.
Oh, oh, Gabriel, oh, let me blow your horn
Let me blow your horn
Oh, I never did no harm
Did no wrong.
I've only been young once

No, not once, oh.
Oh, good!
Oh, I did somebody so good
Somebody some good, yeah, I saw.
Oh, did somebody some good, yeah
I musta did somebody some good, yeah
Oh, I believe I did.
I see the smiling faces, yeah
I know there must be lipstick traces, oh.
And I see them in the streets
And I see them in the fields, yeah,
And I hear them under my feet
And I know it's got to be real
Oh, Lord, deliver me
All the wrong I've done
Oh, you can deliver me, Lord, yeah
I only wanted to have some fun.
Oh, hear, the angels marching, marching
They been marching, keep it marching, yeah, marching.
Oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus

Oh, oh, take me home.
Come on, come on
I can hear the angels singing
Oh, here they come, here they come, here they come.
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Oh, feels pretty good up here, pretty good up here.
I'll touch Jesus, I'll touch Jesus, I'll touch Jesus
I'll touch Jesus, I'll touch Jesus
Oh, I see him
Come on
Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it,
----------------------------------------------------
Ooh, yes, come on, oh, oh, yeah!
Oh, don't you make it my dyin', dyin', dyin'... cough.
That's gonna be the one, asn't it?
Come 'n have a listen, then.
Oh, yes, thank you.
 
Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun


Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

Goodbye Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
 
Ne znm da li si osmislia koncepciju ili se može još neko priključiti a da ti ne remeti temu?

Ja bih malo prešla na naš teren.


Galija - Cvetom do nje



U selo više ne odlazim
Nje tamo nema, tamo nema

Sad je ona
U gradu breza

Ni u grad više ne odlazim
Nje ni tamo nema, tamo nema

Sad je ona
Na nebu zvezda

Od cveta pletem stepenice
Da do zvezda dođem, zvezda dođem
 
Parni Valjak - Direktan Put Za Nebo
Mirisala je na maglu i dim
kad sam je prvi put sreo
mala soba na kraju
grada i dosada
Dvoje samih iz tihe gomile
mi smo trazili srecu
zeljela je barem jednom
do kraja iz ocaja
direktan put za nebo
Ref.
Kazi kako izgleda
sa one strane sna
da l' bol se osjeca i tamo
Kazi kako izgleda
sa one strane sna
i da l' se ponekad
sjetis mene



 
Fade To Black
Metallica




Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further, every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly loss, this can't be real
I cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness, taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
No one but me
Can save myself
But it's too late
Now I can't think
Think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though
It never existed
Death greets me warm
Now I will just say goodbye
Bye...
