„I wish i was a punk rocker”

Știti melodia I wish i was a punk rocker de la Sandi Thom?

De când am auzit-o mi-a plăcut ideea melodiei și versurile, flower power style.

Melodia asta a fost scoasă în octombrie 2005 și a vândut 39,797 copii in 2006 și l-a detronat pe Gnarls Barkley’s și a lui melodie “Crazy“.

Melodia I wish i was a punk rocker a fost nominalizată melodia anului, dar a pierdut în favoarea melodiei Patience de Take That.

Dar melodia nu a fost primită bine de toată lumea și a primit multe critici din ce am mai citit.

Robin Hawkins de la The Automatic spunea:

“If she was a punk rocker with flowers in her hair she’d get the shit kicked out of her by other punk rockers, for having flowers in her hair. […] I haven’t found anyone who’s told me they like that song and bought it.”

Aici sunt versurile melodiei:

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

Strofa asta imi place în mod special:

When the head of state didn’t play guitar
Not everybody drove a car
When music really mattered and when radio was king
When accountants didn’t have control
And the media couldn’t buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When pop stars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when god saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
My mom and dad were in their teens
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs
And playing games meant kick arounds
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I was born too late into a world that doesn’t care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

Cum vi se pare melodia? 🙂
