Una de mis canciones favoritas. Super pegadiza. No hace mucho descubrí que aunque parezca tener una letra 'inocente' en realidad se creó con claras intenciones y connotaciones sexuales... ¡Juzguen ustedes mismos! Sólo hay que fijarse un poco.
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone

Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Definitivamente, mi favorita del Sr. Adams.
ResponderEliminarLa pusieron en el Autocine el viernes y me dio un subidón... :D
Por cierto, en cuanto a las connotaciones sexuales... mi mente no debe estar tan enferma como creíamos porque no las capto xD
ResponderEliminarPues si sabes donde lo leíste, podrías ilustrar la entrada con el link a los esbozadores de tal teoría :D
ResponderEliminar"La canción pertenece al cuarto álbum de Bryan Adams, titulado Reckless, lanzado en 1984. El single obtuvo varios reconocimientos y llegó a ubicarse en el puesto número #5 del Billboard Top 100. Además la canción ha tenido un resurgimiento y se ha convertido posteriormente en un éxito de ventas en todo el mundo. En 2006, se ubicó en el puesto número #1 en los mejores rankings de Canadá, 22 años después de haber sido lanzada. El cantante manifestó en su antología en 2004, que nada tiene que ver el tema con el año 1969, ya que tan solo tenía diez años en ese entonces, sino que posee un doble sentido, haciendo una referencia a la posición sexual llamada 69."
ResponderEliminarTampoco me solucionó mucho xD
