Μια σπάνιας ομορφιάς λυρική μπαλάντα (Crosby Stills Nash & Young on steroids!) από ένα βρετανικό γκρουπ που έμεινε ιστορικό για την πολυπλοκότητα της μουσικής του. Eτσι ξεκινάει, για να εξελιχθεί με τρόπο …απρόβλεπτο το 9λεπτο track των Gentle Giant από το ομώνυμο δισκογραφικό τους ντεμπούτο. Κυκλοφόρησε στο ξεκίνημα των ‘70s. 🟡 🟡 A lyrical ballad of rare beauty (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on steroids!) from a British band historic for the complexity of their music. This is how the 9-minute track by Gentle Giant begins, before evolving in a… unpredictable way. It is from their self-titled debut album, released at the dawn of the ‘70s.

Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by
With a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by
With a sigh
She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss
Ah this – is a girl who had everything
Finds she’s nothing at all
Now the wind seems so cold
Seems all old as it laughs at her fears
And her tears
And as ducks swim away from her
Visions of past love appear
In her tears
She sees love in his face as she tells him to go
And so – here’s a girl who had everything
Finds she’s nothing at all
What would she say if she saw him, yeah
Now that she’s gone, man, you’re losing, yeah
Now you can see what she’s seeing, yeah
For sure she’s more than just choosing
Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by
With a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by
With a sigh
She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss
Ah this – is a girl who had everything
Finds she’s nothing at all
