Avevo voglia di far suonare un pezzo dei White Stripes e così ho deciso di riprendere "Sister do you know my name?", il primo brano della loro discografia che ascoltai un pò di anni fa.
Poi, le serate passate a botte di Rolling Stones mi hanno fatto venire in mente la canzone, cantato da Keith Richards "You've got the silver". E la somiglianza c'è, eccome. Considerate poi che nel DVD di "Shine a Light" di Scorzese sbuca sul palco proprio Jack White che duetta con Mick Jagger nel brano "Loving Cup". Magari ha preso ispirazione proprio dalle Pietre Rotolanti, il nostro ex (ahimè) White Stripes. Chi lo sa...
Fate un tuffo nel passato col pirata Keith e poi vedete un pò come si sono evolute le cose con il bluesman di Nashville. Eccovi anche i testi:
Sister do you know my name?
Well we're back in school again
and I don't really know anyone
I really want to be your friend
cause I don't really know anyone
And the bus is pulling
up to your house
I wish you could be sitting here
next to me
I didn't see you at summer school
but I saw you at the corner store
and I don't want to break the rules
cause I've broken them all before
But every time I see you
I wonder why
I don't break a couple rules
so that you'll notice me
Sister do you know my name?
I've heard it before but I want you to know
I got a funny feeling
that it's gonna work out
cause now I see you sitting here
next to me
You've got the silver
Hey baby, what's in your eyes?
I saw them flashing like airplane lights
You fill my cup, baby, that's for sure
I must come back for a little more
You got my heart, you got my soul
You got the silver, you got the gold
You got the diamonds from the mine
Well that's all right, it'll buy some time
Tell me, honey, what will I do
When I'm hungry and thirsty too?
I'm feeling foolish, that's for sure
Just waiting here at your kitchen door
Hey baby, what's in your eyes?
Is that the diamonds from the mine?
What's that laughing in your smile?
I don't care, no, I don't care
Oh baby, you got my soul
You got the silver, you got the gold
You've got your love, just leave me blind
I don't care, no, that's no big surprise
Ai posteri l'ardua sentenza...e il buon ascolto!
Stay rock!
