GRYPHON : RAINDANCE (1975)

Εδώ που βρίσκομαι έρχεται ξανά βροχή. Ακούμε και, ελπίζω, απολαμβάνουμε (ανεξαρτήτως καιρού) αυτό το μικρό κομψοτέχνημα ηλεκτρονικής ambient, από ένα γκρουπ με έφεση στα αναγεννησιακά & folk ιδιώματα. Το ‘Raindance’ προέρχεται από το ομώνυμο άλμπουμ που οι Βρετανοί Gryphon κυκλοφόρησαν το 1975. “Bonus” η διασκευή του μπιτλικού ‘Mother Nature’s Son’, από το ίδιο άλμπουμ. 📀 📀 Here where I am, the rain is coming again. We listen to, and enjoy as I hope (regardless of the weather) this little ambient electronic jewel from a band with a knack for Renaissance and folk idioms. ‘Raindance’ comes from the eponymous album released by British band Gryphon in 1975. A “bonus” is their cover of the Beatles’ ‘Mother Nature’s Son’ from the same album.

Born a poor young, country boy
Mother Nature’s son
All day long, I’m sitting, singing songs for everyone
Sit beside a mountain stream
See her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music
As she flies
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do
Do-do
Find me in my field of grass
Mother Nature’s son
Swaying daisies, sing a lazy song
Beneath the sun
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Mmm, do-do-do-do-do
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, lullaby
Ooh-ah, Mother Nature’s son
