MANFRED MANN’S EARTH BAND : FATHER OF DAY, FATHER OF NIGHT

…Όπου ένα 1:30 διάρκειας τραγούδι του Bob Dylan (οι στίχοι παραπέμπουν σε εβραϊκό λειτουργικό κείμενο) μετατρέπεται σε δεκάλεπτο prog-rock έπος, σε μια από τις πιο ουσιαστικές και μετά λόγου γνώσεως διασκευές που έχω ποτέ ακούσει.
…Where a 1:30
Bob Dylan song (the lyrics refer to a Hebrew liturgical text) turns into a ten-minute prog-rock epic, in one of the most substantial and knowledgeable arrangements I ‘ve ever heard.

FATHER OF NIGHT (1970)
Father of night, Father of day
Father, who taketh the darkness away
Father, who teacheth the bird to fly
Builder of rainbows up in the sky
Father of loneliness and pain
Father of love and Father of rain
Father of day, Father of night
Father of black, Father of white
Father, who build the mountain so high
Who shapeth the cloud up in the sky
Father of time, Father of dreams
Father, who turneth the rivers and streams
Father of grain, Father of wheat
Father of cold and Father of heat
Father of air and Father of trees
Who dwells in our hearts and our memories
Father of minutes, Father of days
Father of whom we most solemnly praise

FATHER OF DAY, FATHER OF NIGHT (1973)
Father of night, Father of day
Father who take the darkness away
Father who teacheth the birds to fly
Builder of rainbows up in the sky
Father of day, Father of night
Father of black, Father of white
Father who builds the mountains so high
Shapeth the clouds up in the sky
Father of loneliness and pain
Father of night, Father of day
Father of grain, Father of wheat
Father of cold, Father of heat
Father of air, Father of trees
Dwells in our hearts in our memories
Father of night, Father of day
Father who take the darkness away
Father who teacheth the birds to fly
Builder of rainbows up in the sky
Father of loneliness and pain
Father of night, Father of day
Father of night and Father of day
Father who take the darkness away
Father of black and Father of white
Father who turneth the rivers and streams
Father of night, Father of day
Father who take the darkness away
Father who teacheth the birds to fly
Builder of rainbows up in the sky
Father of grain, Father of wheat
Father of cold and Father of heat
Father of minutes, Father of days
Father of whom we most solemnly praise
Father of loneliness and pain
Father of night, Father of day
