Vou para lá um dia

Música como essa que o povo acima faz é a razão principal de eu querer muito visitar Nova Orleans um dia.
Eis um pedacinho da cidade que hei de conhecer: neste vídeo de 2005, que o Preservation Hall gravou com o cantor Clint Maedgen, Nova Orleans aparece ainda inteira antes do furacão Katrina. No começo do vídeo, a casa onde ele entra é o bingo da cidade.
Atenção para o senhor que pede mais café: o trompetista John Brunious morreu este mês, na Flórida. Deve estar à frente de animadas jam sessions no outro lado da vida.

COMPLICATED LIFE

Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck,
A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest,
I went to the good doctor and the good doctor said,
You gotta slow down your life or youre gonna be dead,
Cut out the struggle and strife,
It only complicates your life.

Well I cut down women I cut out booze,
I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my shoes,
I stopped going to work, reading the news,
Im sitting twiddling my thumbs cos I got nothing to do,
Minimal exercise,
To help uncomplicate my life,
Gotta stand and face it life is so complicated,
Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah,
Got to get away from the complicated life son,
Life is overated, life is complicated,
Must aleviate this, complicated life.

Like old mother hubbard
I got nothin in the cupboard,
Got no dinner and I got no supper,
Holes in my shoes I got holes in my socks,
I cant go to work cos I cant get a job,
The bills are rising sky high,
Its such a complicated life,
Gotta stand and face it,
Life is so complicated.
