Η ιστορία πίσω από το τραγούδι

[brb και tyt]

Layla από τον Eric Clapton

Οι στίχοι του κομματιού είναι εμπνευσμένοι από ένα περσικό ποίημα του 5ου αιώνα, ονόματι Λέιλα και Ματζνουν, το οποίο αργότερα διασκευάστηκε από τον Νιζαμί, με ένα αντίτυπο να φτάνει στα χέρια του Ίαν Ντάλας, ο οποίος με τη σειρά του το έδωσε στον Κλάπτον. Το βιβλίο παρακίνησε τον Κλάπτον, το οποίο έχει ως επίκεντρο τον έρωτα ενός νεαρού για μία όμορφη νεαρή κοπέλα, που όμως δεν μπορεί να την κάνει δική του, με αποτέλεσμα να τρελαθεί

Layla
Έρικ Κλάπτον
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say I'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Εμένα κάτι μου λέει ότι το ομορφόπαιδο παραπάνω την τρίζει την όπισθεν.

Μια που έβαλε δημοτικό το κουλούρι (και μάλιστα πολύ ωραίο όπως όλα τα θρακιώτικα, Αιδονίδης κλπ.) θα βάλω το Σουλειμάν Αγκά (Σουλειμάν αγάς) από την κεντρική Μακεδονία. Κάπου είχα διαβάσει τι σημαίνουν τα λόγια και απ' όσο θυμάμαι λένε την ιστορία ενός κοριτσιού της Λένκας.

Οι γονείς της πέθαναν από αρρώστια όταν ήταν μικρή. Ο Τούρκος Αγάς Σουλειμάν την υιοθέτησε. Η Λένκα ήταν πολύ όμορφη κι έρχονταν πλούσιοι άντρες από παντού να την ζητήσουν για γυναίκα τους. Πήγε ένας και είπε ''Σουλειμάν αγά θα σου δώσω δύο χιλιάδες πρόβατα'' κι αυτός είπε όχι. Πήγε ο άλλος και είπε ''Σουλειμάν αγά θα σου δώσω ένα τσιφλίκι'' κι αυτός πάλι είπε όχι. Ο Σουλειμάν αγάς δωσε την Λένκα σ' αυτόν που αγάπησε και ας ήταν φτωχός.

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way
I was a young man full of hopes and dreams
But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained
Sometimes things ain't what they seem
No brave new world, no brave new world
No brave new world, no brave new world

Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky
My spirit wanders endlessly
Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why
Hear me calling, rescue me
Set me free, set me free
Lost in this place and leave no trace

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison, yeah!
Lost and far from home

One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way
To find the answer to the mystery
They found his body lying where it fell on that day
Preserved in time for all to see
No brave new world, no brave new world
Lost in this place, and leave no trace

What became of the man that started
All are gone and their souls departed
Left me here in this place
So all alone

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home
What became of the man that started
All are gone and their souls departed
Left me here in this place
So all alone
Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home
Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home
Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

Great lyrics relating to a real historic event.

Told from the perspective of an explorer who died, about the doomed Franklin Expedition (info below from a couple of websites about it)

The Erebus and the Terror set sail from Greenhithe, England, on May 19, 1845. On board were Sir John Franklin, a crew of 129 men, and three years' provisions.

Franklin's plan was to find the Northwest Passage, a northern sea route to Asia that had eluded European explorers for hundreds of years. He was never heard from again.

When Franklin failed to report back, search expeditions were launched. The search for the remains of the voyage has continued to the present day.

Over the years, artifacts, records, and bodies were recovered, offering clues as to what happened to Franklin and his men.

The evidence indicates that Franklin died during the journey and the ships became hopelessly trapped in the ice. The expedition's second-in-command, Francis Crozier, abandoned the vessels, then led 105 men on a cold, deadly march southward.

But no traces of the Erebus and the Terror have ever been found.

The answer to the mystery, a doctor on one of the search trips surmised, might be found by examining the bodies of three crew members that were found; Torrington, Hartnell, and Braine to look for clues to the cause of their deaths. But his idea struck authorities as improper, and it was ignored.

The bodies that were found remained frozen in the ice for over one hundred years, untouched.

Finally, in 1980, anthropologist Owen Beattie decided to study the remains of the three men to "look for information on health and diet, for indications of disease, for evidence of violence, and information as to each individual's age and stature." Beattie was going to solve the mystery — even if it meant examining three frozen mummies.

I just wrote that music [for "Fiddler on the Green"] and sent it over to Hansi. The whole concept is his and it's based on a true story", Jon elaborates. "[Hansi] was out walking his dog and he saw a little boy get killed on a bicycle -- hit by a car. Well, it happened again, like a week later -- same spot, same place in his neighborhood in a place where something like that would never happen. Over in Germany, the Fiddler is like what we call the Reaper." Sounds like the Demons & Wizards album cover, wouldn't you agree? In summary, the Fiddler makes a mistake and takes this little boy's life too soon. Thusly, he promised the boy he'll create this paradise for him. The girl in this scenario would have been this little boy's future wife, so the deal is that the Fiddle makes a heaven for this pair as part of the bargain."
