SRV

I’ve listened to SRV for about a year already. I really admire his work and love his songs because they have some infectious ring to them and they make me wanna ’ shake that thang’.

Until a few days ago, I didn’t bother checking up on the lyrics to his songs, but I was quite suprised when I did. If you don’t really pay attention to the lyrics, his songs are catchy and all, but once you know what the lyrics are, you can see where he is taking the song to. Quite interesting that they usually tell a story. Something like :

Life Without You

Oh oh now baby, tell me how have you been
We all have missed you, and the way you grin
The day is necessary, every now and then
For souls to move on, givin’ life back again, and again
Fly on fly on, fly on my friend
Go on, live again love again

Day after day, night after night
Sittin’ here singin’ every minute,
as the years go passing by, by, by, by
Long look in the mirror, we’ve come face to face
Wishin’ all the love we took for granted,
love we have today

Life without you, all the love you passed my way
The angels have waited for so long, now they have their way
Take your place
