I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance


like lightning flashing in the sky
but there's a charm that is greater still:
when my love's eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passions kiss


and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire


I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance

like lightning flashing in the sky
but there's a charm that is greater still:
when my love's eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passions kiss

and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

dull flame
i see the full flame of desire
i see the dull flame
i see the full flame

I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance

like lightning flashing in the sky
but there's a charm that is greater still:
when my love's eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passions kiss

and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

dull flame

i see the full flame of
i see the dull flame
i see the full flame

I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance


like lightning flashing in the sky
but there's a charm that is greater still:
when my love's eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passions kiss


through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire


and through the
downcast lashes
I see the
dull flame
of
desire






Οι στίχοι είναι από το ποίημα που διαβάζουμε στο "Stalker" του Andrei Tarkovsky.

Δώστε μου κι άλλα τραγούδια που να έγιναν μετά από κινηματογραφική έμπνευση.

The Ghost of Tom Joad
Bruce Springsteen

Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
No home no job no peace no rest

The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad

He pulls prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct

The highway is alive tonight
But where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad

Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad

Ο Tom Joad είναι ο ήρωας του βιβλίου του John Steinbeck, "The Grapes of Wrath".
Έμπνευση του δίσκου αποτέλεσε η κινηματογραφική μεταφορά του βιβλίου από τον John Ford.

Το "One" των Metallica,όπως όλοι ξέρουμε, είναι εμπνευσμένο από το "Johnny Got His Gun" (1971) του Dalton Trumbo. Κορυφαίο κομμάτι για μια αναμφισβήτητα καλή, αλλά υπερεκτιμημένη ταινία.
Και μιας και ξεκίνησα σκληρά, συνεχίζω με το "The Clansman" των Iron Maiden, το οποίο ο Steve Harris το εμπνεύστηκε από το "Braveheart" (1995) του Mel Gibson.
