As I happend to talked about before, I love those clever and sassy American TV-series. On of my absolute favorites is Californication. As for many of these shows the music score is a pure treasure trove for me. One of these findings was Warren Zevon. Imagine that, I never heard of him before. Now I listen to his last two albums, which are pretty heart-breaking.
“Don’t Let Us Get Sick “
Don’t let us get sick
Don’t let us get old
Don’t let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight
The moon has a face
And it smiles on the lake
And causes the ripples in Time
I’m lucky to be here
With someone I like
Who maketh my spirit to shine

My goodness, only the last two albums? You’re missing A LOT. As a long-time Zevon fan, I suggest you quickly add his self-titled CD and “Excitable Boy,” then fill in the rest. WZ was one of the few performers who was consistently brilliant throughout his career. Also, if you’d like to get hold of some field recordings gratis, contact me or go to http://www.warrenzevon.com, click on “bulletin board,” and post a request.
Hi Charlene,
well better late than never… I guess the reason why WZ is the language barrier. Without understanding the lyrics you listen to nice and sometimes touching melodies, but
that’s about it. But WITH the words… OMG!
