Ακούμε τρία τραγούδια από το δεύτερο άλμπουμ των Καλιφορνέζων θρύλων της ψυχεδελικής soul The Time Has Come. Και – ξεχωριστά – την επική, κυριολεκτικά και …μεταφορικά, ορίτζιναλ βερσιόν του ‘Time Has Come Today’. 📀 📀 We listen to three songs from The Time Has Come, second album by the Californian psychedelic soul legends. And – separately – the epic, literally and …metaphorically, original version of ‘Time Has Come Today’.

00:00 TIME HAS COME TODAY
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can′t put it off another day
I don’t care what others say
They say we don′t listen anyway
Time has come today
(Hey)
Oh
The rules have changed today (hey)
I have no place to stay (hey)
I’m thinking about the subway (hey)
The love has flown away (hey)
My tears have come and gone (hey)
Oh my Lord, I have to roam (hey)
I have no home (hey)
I have no home (hey)
Now the time has come (time)
There’s no place to run (time)
I might get burned up by the sun (time)
But I had my fun (time)
I′ve been loved and put aside (time)
I′ve been crushed by the tumbling tide (time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (time)
(Time)
Now the time has come (time)
There are things to realize (time)
Time has come today (time)
Time has come today (time)
(Time)
(Time)
Oh, oh
The Chambers Brothers
Their time is here
People get burned
There is a train coming
You don’t need no…
The Chambers Brothers
Their time has come
Their new album on Columbia Records
Now the time has come (time)
There is no place to run
The Chambers Brothers
Their time is now
But I had my fun (time)
I′ve been loved and put aside (time)
Their time has come
Get it on Columbia Records
Time, yeah

07:56 UPTOWN
I’m goin’ uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
If a taxi won’t take me, I’ll catch a train
I’ll go underground, I’ll get there just the same
Cause I’m goin’ uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
125th Street, now here I come, y’all
Get ready for me ’cause I’m comin’ for fun
I’m gonna eat me some chitlins and some black-eyed peas
Some barbecued ribs and some collard greens
I’m gonna party for days in Harlem
Leave the downtown ways for Harlem
Cause I’m goin’ uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
If a taxi won’t take me, I’ll catch a train
I’ll go underground, I’Il get there just the same
I’m gonna make it to the Cape and the Shadow bar
I’m goin’ up to town places and I’m down to swap
I’m gonna make it to the Playhouse and the red blues-ter too
I’m gonna jack the truce and wear a suit
I’m going to have me a ball in Harlem
And that ain’t all in Harlem
I’m gonna eat some chitlins and some black-eyed peas
Some barbecued ribs and some collard greens
I said I’m going uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I’m going uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I’m going uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I’m going uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I’m going uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I’m going uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I’m going uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I’m going uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
I’m going uptown to Harlem
Gonna let my hair down in Harlem
