Pavlov's Dog [1974] Pampered Menial

Pavlov's Dog
Formed 1972 In St. Louis

Biography by Stewart Mason

The artsy hard rock group Pavlov's Dog spanned progressive music and heavy metal
in much the same way that Rush did in its early days.
Also like Rush, Pavlov's Dog had a singer, David Surkamp,
whose distinctive high-pitched voice was the group's take-it-or-leave-it factor.
Outside of a small cult following, most folks chose to leave it,
but over the decades Pavlov's Dog has remained a popular find for fans of the obscure end of American arena rock.

Pavlov's Dog formed in St. Louis in 1972
out of the ashes of a local cover band called High on a Small Hill,
with Surkamp, formerly of the minor folk-rock act Touch, on vocals and guitar,
joined by lead guitarist Steve Scorfina; keyboardist David Hamilton; Mellotron and flute player Doug Rayburn; bassist Rick Stockton; drummer Mike Safron; and strings specialist Siegfried Carver (born Richard Nadler), who added violin, viola, and an odd hybrid instrument called a vitar (that sounded something like Eddie Phillips' bowed guitar in the '60s freakbeat heroes the Creation). The combination of flute, Mellotron, violin, and Scorfina's guitar heroics led to some comparisons to David Cross-era King Crimson, though Pavlov's Dog had a much more straight-ahead, less twisty sound.

Growing popularity on the Midwestern club circuit led to the band's signing to ABC-Dunhill Records in 1975 (supposedly for a then-record 650,000 dollar advance, though that might have been press-release puffery) and the recording of their debut album, Pampered Menial.
History is unclear as to exactly what happened next, but somehow, Pavlov's Dog found themselves off of ABC-Dunhill and on Columbia Records almost immediately, with the result that Pampered Menial was released twice, almost simultaneously, on two different labels with exactly the same sleeve design and track lineup.

:::::::::::::::::::

Banyak kemiripan antara Pavlov's Dog ~ Rush saat awal, diantaranya;
sama-sama memainkan Progressive Music dan Heavy Metal, bahkan
sang Vocalis David Surkamp mempunyai suara high-pitch mirip Geddy Lee bahkan lebih tinggi dan ber-getar.

Pavlov's Dog dibentuk di St.Louis tahun 1972 oleh,
David Surkamp (Vocals & Guitar), Steve Scorfina (Lead Guitar); David Hamilton (Keyboards);
Doug Rayburn (Mellotron, Flute); Rick Stockton (Bass); Mike Safron (Drum);
dan specialis strings Siegfried Carver (- Richard Nadler), yang menambahkan Violin, Viola,
dan sebuah alat Hybrid aneh yang disebut vitar.

- Fast Gun -
[David Surkamp]

You like to wear the fast gun
You try and make me run
When the whole town turns its troubles down on you
You like to wear your gun down low
And you kiss her when you go
Would a half breed cowboy lose her
You never know

When you shot them dressed in black
How to pull these triggers back
When it happens there's a time when it's pouring down
Will you meet me there, let's go
Better to let your feelings show
Because the fast gun's got troubles of his own

You like to wear the fast gun
You gonna try and make me run
You think you're going to shoot me down
Well you never will
'Cause they say you've got no soul
You got to hit them quite low
Would a half breed cowboy lose her
How you know, how you know, you must never know

When you shot them dressed in black
How to pull these triggers back
When it happens there's a time when it's pouring down
Will you meet me there, let's go
Better to let your feelings show
Because the fast gun's got troubles of his own

You wear the fast gun wear it low
You like to kiss her when you go
(Repeat to end)

Kayak [1999] The Singles

KAYAK
Formed - 1968
Disbanded - 1980


Biography by Paul Collins

With their instrumental prowess and keyboardist
Ton Scherpenzeel's facility at writing lyrics in English,
you might be forgiven for mistaking Kayak for a bunch of clever proggers from London.
But this Dutch band began in 1968 in the city of Hilversun,
where Schenpenzeel and drummer Pim Koopman attended a music conservatory.
After the addition of guitarist Johan Slager, bassist Cees van Leeuwen, and vocalist Max Werner,
the group solidified by 1972 and commenced recording.
Stylisically they featured the instrumentation and chops of progressive acts like Yes and Genesis,  but the pop song structures of Supertramp and the Alan Parsons Project; 
as time passed they increasingly favored the pop side of the equation.
Royal Bed Bouncer, the most even balance between these two styles,
was to be a commercial and artistic high point for the band.  They continued to meet with minor success throughout the seventies on a variety of record labels, and in 1974 toured in support of Queen-a move that influenced the flavor of their later work. 

Like most progressive bands,
Kayak never had a terribly stable lineup;
at one point they went through three bassists in as many years.
With Scherpenzeel as the sole constant, Kayak's first lineup also proved to be their finest;
but Koopman's asthma forced him to retire in 1976,
and Werner was so tortured by stage fright and unfounded doubts over his singing ability
that he demanded the vacated drum chair for himself,
leaving the vocals duties to new member Edward Reekers.
Scherpenzeel's central role in the band eventually wore on the others,
and Kayak fell apart in 1980.
Scherpenzeel continued on to work with the English band Camel
and now composes primarily for the theatre.
Koopman and Reekers work in music production and performance;
Werner left the stage to become a postal worker,
and van Leeuwen has become-of all things -- a prominent lawyer.
The band reunited in 1997 for a Dutch TV special, though no new recordings have yet emerged.

Ruthless Queen
(I. Linders, T. Scherpenzeel)

With a quivering voice
You spoke the word
Shadow came between us
Sharp as a sword
Gone is my gladness
And vanished my pride
'Cause luck didn't stay on our side

Leaped in luxury
I cried for the moon
But the game is out
It all ended too soon
Awakening came as the belt from the blue
At last from a sheen to be true

CHORUS
Oh my ruthless queen
You would steal the treasure of my dream
It's the twinkle in your eyes
That took me by surprise
Oh my ruthless queen
I just can't accept our love has been

I bear you no malice
You show no remorse
Love is dead and gone
It was no endless source
Your sudden leave was the finishing stroke
Considering everything grow

CHORUS
Oh my ruthless queen
You would steal the treasure of my dream
It's the twinkle in your eyes
That took me by surprise
Oh my ruthless queen
I just can't accept our love has been

Please don't tell me you couldn't care less
Well I feel like a ship in distress

Oh my ruthless queen
I just can't accept our love has been

Procol Harum [1967] Procol Harum

Procol Harum
Formed
1967 in London, England


Biography by Bruce Eder

Procol Harum is arguably the most successful "accidental" group creation -- that is,
a band originally assembled to take advantage of the success of a record created in the studio --
in the history of progressive rock.
With "A Whiter Shade of Pale" a monster hit right out of the box,
the band evolved from a studio ensemble into a successful live act,
their music built around an eclectic mix of blues-based rock riffs and grand classical themes.
With singer/pianist Gary Brooker and lyricist Keith Reid
providing the band's entire repertory,
their music evolved in decidedly linear fashion,
the only major surprises coming from the periodic lineup changes
that added a new instrumental voice to the proceedings.
At their most accessible, as on "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Conquistador,"
they were one of the most popular of progressive rock bands,
their singles outselling all rivals, and their most ambitious album tracks still have a strong following.

Procol Harum's roots and origins are as convoluted as its success
-- especially between 1967 and 1973 -- was pronounced.
Pianist Gary Brooker (b. May 29, 1945, Southend, Essex, England)
had formed a group at school called the Paramounts at age 14,
with guitarist Robin Trower (b. Mar. 9, 1945, Southend, Essex) and
bassist Chris Copping (b. Aug. 29, 1945 Southend, Essex),
with singer Bob Scott and
drummer Mick Brownlee.
After achieving a certain degree of success at local youth clubs and dances,
covering established rock & roll hits, Brooker took over the vocalist spot from the departed Scott, and the group continued working after its members graduated -- by 1962, 
they were doing formidable (by British standards) covers of American R&B,
and got a residency at the Shades Club in Southend.

Their first recording, produced by Denny Cordell,
was of a piece of surreal Reid poetry called "A Whiter Shade Of Pale,"
which Brooker set to music loosely derived from Johann Sebastian Bach's
Air on a G String from the Suite No. 3 in D Major.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Bila ingat Procol Harum pasti ingat "Whiter Shade Of Pale".
Whiter Shade Of Pale sesungguhnya merupakan puisi yang diciptakan Keith Reid
yang kemudian oleh Gary Booker dibuatkan aransemennya musiknya.
Puisi/Lagu ini aslinya mempunyai 4 verse dan hanya dibawakan secara penuh pada saat konser saja, sedangkan dalam album recording hanya dibawakan 2 verse saja!
Sebagian orang menduga ini adalah adaptasi musik
dari komposer classic J.S. Bach - Suite No. 3 in D Major - Air on a G String.
Namun Booker menolak hal ini.

- Whiter Shade Of Pale -
{Brooker, Fisher, Reid}

We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray

(Chorus)
And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed


- 2 verse tambahan -

She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died

If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed

Procol Harum
Release , 1967 - Deram

Review by Bruce Eder

Procol Harum's self-titled, debut album bombed in England,
appearing six months after "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Homburg" with neither hit song on it.
The LP was successful in America, where albums sold more easily,
but especially since it did include "A Whiter Shade of Pale"
and was reissued with a sticker emphasizing the presence of the original "Conquistador,"
a re-recording which became a hit in 1972.
The music is an engaging meld of psychedelic rock, blues, and classical influences,
filled with phantasmagorical lyrics,
bold (but not flashy) organ by Matthew Fisher,
and Robin Trower's most tasteful and restrained guitar.
"Conquistador," "Kaleidoscope," "A Christmas Camel,"
and the Bach-influenced "Repent Walpurgis" are superb tracks,
and "Good Captain Clack" is great, almost Kinks-like fun.
Not everything here works, but it holds up better than most psychedelic or progressive rock.

The Very Best Of Nazareth [2002]

Nazareth
Formed
1968 in Dunfermline, Scotland


 by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The Scottish hard rock quartet Nazareth had a handful of hard rock hits in the late '70s,
including the proto-power ballad "Love Hurts."
Formed in 1968, the band featured
vocalist Dan McCafferty,
guitarist Manny Charlton,
bassist Pete Agnew, and
drummer Darrell Sweet.
The band had relocated to London by 1970,
and they released their self-titled debut album in 1971.
Both Nazareth and 1972's Exercises received favorable attention by British hard rockers, 
but it was 1973's Razamanaz that moved them into the U.K. Top Ten
(both "Broken Down Angel" and "Bad Bad Boy" were hit singles).
Loud 'n' Proud and Rampant (both 1974) followed the same formula,
yet were slightly less successful.

The Best Of The Moody Blues [1997]

The Moody Blues
Formed
1964 in Birmingham, England

Biography by Bruce Eder [edited]

Although they're best known today for their lush,
lyrically and musically profound (some would say bombastic) psychedelic-era albums,
the Moody Blues started out as one of the better R&B-based combos of the British Invasion.
The group's history began in Birmingham, England with Ray Thomas (harmonica, vocals)
and Mike Pinder (keyboards, vocals), who had played together in El Riot & the Rebels and the Krew Cats. They began recruiting members of some of the best rival groups working in Birmingham, including Denny Laine (vocals, guitar), Graeme Edge (drums), and Clint Warwick (bass, vocals). The Moody Blues, as they came to be known, made their debut in Birmingham in May of 1964, and quickly earned the notice and later the services of manager Tony Secunda. A major tour was quickly booked, and the band landed an engagement at the Marquee Club, which resulted in a contract with England's Decca Records less than six months after their formation. The group's first single, "Steal Your Heart Away," released in September of 1964, didn't touch the British charts.
But their second single, "Go Now," released in November of 1964 --
a cover of a nearly identical American single by R&B singer Bessie Banks,
heavily featuring Laine's mournful lead vocal -- fulfilled every expectation and more,
reaching number one in England and earning them a berth in some of the nation's top performing venues (including the New Musical Express Poll Winners Concert, appearing with some of the top acts of the period); its number ten chart placement in America also earned them a place as a support act for the Beatles on one tour, and the release of a follow-up LP (Magnificent Moodies in England, Go Now in America) on both sides of the Atlantic.

Introduced at the start of the '60s as a potential rival to the Hammond organ,
the Mellotron had worked its way into rock music slowly, in acts such as the Graham Bond Organisation, and had emerged to some public prominence on Beatles' records such as "Strawberry Fields Forever" and, more recently, "I Am the Walrus";
during that same year, in a similar supporting capacity,
it would also turn up on the Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request.

As it happened, Pinder not only knew how to play the Mellotron,
but had also worked in the factory that built them,
which enabled him over the years to re-engineer, modify,
and customize the instruments to his specifications.
(The resulting instruments were nicknamed "Pindertrons.")

The Best Of Emerson, Lake and Palmer [1994]

Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Formed, 1970 in Bournemouth, Dorset, England
Disbanded, Dec 1978

Emerson, Lake & Palmer were progressive rock's first supergroup.
Greeted by the rock press and the public as something akin to conquering heroes,
they succeeded in broadening the audience for progressive rock
from hundreds of thousands into tens of millions of listeners,
creating a major radio phenomenon as well.
Their flamboyance on record and in the studio echoed the best work of the heavy metal bands of the era,
proving that classical rockers could compete for that arena-scale audience.
Over and above their own commercial success,
the trio also paved the way for the success of such bands as Yes,
who would become their chief rivals for much of the 1970s.

Keyboardist Keith Emerson planted the seeds of the group in late 1969
when his band the Nice shared a bill at the Fillmore West with King Crimson,
an up-and-coming band that featured lead singer and bassist Greg Lake.
Emerson and Lake first discussed the possibility of collaborating at that point,
but only after the Crimson lineup began disintegrating during their first U.S. tour
did he finally opt to leave the group (after agreeing to sing on the forthcoming Crimson album).
Upon officially teaming in 1970, Emerson and Lake auditioned several drummers,
including Mitch Mitchell, before they approached Carl Palmer,
a former member of the Crazy World of Arthur Brown
who later hooked up with bandmate Vincent Crane in an experimental band called Atomic Rooster.

The trio's first rehearsals mostly picked up from the Nice's and King Crimson's repertoires,
including such well-known numbers as "Rondo" and "21st Century Schizoid Man."

They explored their capabilities to an extreme, even with the technology limitations of the early 70's, breaking ground, setting the new parameters for a new vein in the english pop music (at the time) which would be called progressive music. 
ELP released 10 outstanding albums during the 70's,
and after a long break, they got back in the 90's with a new approach,
but still making good music.
In 1986 Cozy POWELL replaced PALMER
and they put together EMERSON, LAKE and POWELL, a good effort as well.

:::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::

E.L.P adalah salah satu Supergroup Prog-Rock pada masa awal musik ini.
Dibentuk oleh Keith Emerson (Keyboard), Greg Lake (Bass, Vocal) & Carl Palmer (Drums).
Awal pertemuan terjadi saat Band Keith Emerson -NICE sedang berada di Filmore West
(salah satu gedung konser di California)
bersama King Crimson (Greg Lake adalah membernya).
Mereka berdiskusi mengenai kemungkinan kerjasama antara keduanya,
namun itu baru terjadi setelah King Crimson mulai pecah pada saat tour di Amerika.
Pada 1970, Emerson & Lake meng-audisi beberapa Drummer, termasuk Mitch Mitchel (Jimi hendrix Experience),
sebelum akhirnya bertemu Carl Palmer (Crazy World, Atomic Rooster).
Latihan pertama mereka, membawakan lagu-lagu Nice & King Crimson,
diantaranya "Rondo" dan "21st Century Schizoid Man"'

Mereka mengexplorasi kemampuan masing-masing sampai titik extrem,
bahkan dengan keterbatasan teknologi saat itu (awal 70-an),
mereka memainkan musik baru yang nantinya disebut Progressive Music.

ELP me-release 10 album selama dekade 70-an, dan setelah cuti panjang,
mereka kembali tahun 90-an, dengan warna baru yang tetap indah.
Pada 1986, Carl Palmer digantikan oleh Cozy Powell,
mereka menjadi Emerson, Lake and Powell.

perhaps there's a thing or two

i think of lying in bed
i shouldn't have said
but there it is

you see it's all clear
you were meant to be here
from the beginning

maybe i might have changed
and not been so cruel
not been such a fool
whatever was done is done
i just can't recall
it doesn't matter at all

you see it's all clear
you were meant to be here
from the beginning

atao yang ini ...

- C'Est La Vie [Lake / Sinfield] -

C'est la vie
Have your leaves all turned to brown
Will you scatter them around you
C'est la vie.

Do you love
And then how am I to know
If you don't let your love show for me
C'est la vie.

(Chorus) Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me...
C'est la vie.

In the night
Do you light a lover's fire
Do the ashes of desire for you remain.

Like the sea
There's a love too deep to show
Took a storm before my love flowed for you
C'est la vie

(Chorus) Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me...
C'est la vie.

Like a song
Out of tune and out of time
All I needed was a rhyme for you
C'est la vie.

Do you give
Do you live from day to day
Is there no song I can play for you
C'est la vie.

(Chorus) Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me...
C'est la vie.

kalo yang ini inget gak ?

- Still.. You turn Me on (Lake) -

Do you want to be an angel,
Do you wanna be an angel
Do you wanna be a star
Do you wanna play some magic
On my guitar
Do you wanna be a poet
Do you wanna be my string
You could be anything

Do you wanna be the lover of another undercover
You could even be the
Man on the moon

Do you wanna be the player
Do you wanna be the string
Let me tell you something
It just don't mean a thing

You see it really doesn't matter
When you're buried in disguise
By the dark glass on your eyes
Though your flesh has crystallised
Still...you turn me on

Do you wanna be the pillow
Where I lay my head
Do you wanna be the feathers
Lying on my bed
Do you wanna be the cover
Of a magazine
Create a scene

Every day a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me a ladder

Do you wanna be the singer
Do you wanna be the song
Let me tell you something
You just couldn't be more wrong

You see I really have to tell you
That it all gets so intense
From my experience
It just doesn't seem to make sense
Still...you turn me on

Sure you remember this one!

- Lucky Man [Lake] -

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

Review by Roch Parisien

Serves up a more digestible portion than the box set,
focusing mostly on key early material.
Fourteen tracks isn't skimpy in the ELP context;
"Tarkus" is represented, for instance, in all of its 20-minute glory.
The set also includes the original single version of "I Believe in Father Christmas."

Personnel:
Keith Emerson - Keyboards,
Greg Lake Guitar - (Acoustic), Bass, Guitar (Electric), Vocals
Carl Palmer - Percussion, Drums

Janis Joplin 18 Essential Songs [1995]

Janis Joplin Associated with..
- Big Brother & the Holding Company
- Kozmic Blues Band
- Full Tilt Boogie Band
http://www.janisjoplin.com/


Janis Lyn Joplin lahir Jan 19, 1943 di Port Arthur, Texas.
Dikenal sebagai penyanyi Blues hebat tahun 60-an (dia juga Penulis & Arranger).
Dia menyanyi Blues & Folk music sejak remaja. Janis terinspirasi oleh Bessie Smith (Penyanyi Blues tahun 20-an).
Pada pertengahan tahun 60-an dia bermain bersama Jorma Kaukonen (nantinya Gitaris Jefferson Airplane).

Pada awal karir-nya dikenal sebagai Vocalis Big Brother & the Holding Company,
dia keluar akhir tahun 60-an dan memutuskan untuk ber-solo karir.
Pada Monterey Pop Festival 1967, penampilan Janis memukau dan mulai dikenal penonton
saat membawakan "Ball and Chain".

Album solo pertama, I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!,
direkam bersama Kozmic Blues Band (personilnya, Sam Andrew adalah mantan member Big brother). Sound album ini sangat Soulful dan Bluessy karena aransement-nya penuh dengan instrument horn.
Coba dengerin "Try.. (Just A Little Bit harder)"

Bertahun-tahun kehidupan pribadi Janis naik turun dengan kecanduan drug, alcohol.
Secara musikal tahun-tahun akhir kehidupannya membaik, bersama dengan Full Tilt Boogie Band (Album Pearl).
Pearl menjadi bukti bahwa Janis semakin dewasa, penampilan yang berbeda
dan dapat membawakan Blues, Soul dan Folk Rock dengan baik.
"Mercedes Benz", "Get It While You can" dan "Bobby McGee", adalah beberapa lagu terbaik Janis Joplin.

Tragisnya, Janis Joplin meninggal sebelum album Pearl di-release,
karena overdosis Heroin di Hollywood Hotel pada October 1970.
Saat "Me and Bobby McGee" dibawakan, pasti akan mengingatkan kita pada Janis Joplin!


Coba nyanyi'in deh...

- Me & Bobby McGee -
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done,
Hey Bobby baby? kept me from the cold.

One day up near Salinas,I let him slip away,
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah,
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la.

La La la, la la la la la la,
La La la la la la la la la, ain`t no bumb on my bobby McGee yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah.

Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man,
I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can,
C'mon, hey now Bobby yeah, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah,
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!

Yeah! Whew!

Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee.

- Piece Of My Heart -
(Come on…)
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man, well yeah,
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah. (have a..)
Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh yes indeed.

You're out on the streets looking good, and baby,
Deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never never never never never never never hear me when I cry at night.
Baby, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, (come on…)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
Well, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

Guitar

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)
Break another little bit of my heart, darling, yeah. (have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it (waaaaahhh)
Take a…Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)
Break another little bit of my heart, and darling, yeah yeah (have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good


kalo yang ini gimana..


- Summertime -
Summertime,
Child, your living's easy.
Fish are, fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord,
Cotton's high, Lord so high.

Your dad's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
She's a-looking pretty fine to me now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Don't you cry, don't you cry.

One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings, child,
And take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.

But until that morning,
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm ya,
No, no, no no, no no, no...
Don't you cry — cry.


kalo yang ini jadi inget doloo...

- Mercedes Benz -

I'd like to do a song of a great social and poetical import.
It goes like this

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
I’m counting on you, Lord, please don’t let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?

Everybody!
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

That’s it!

Janis Joplin 18 Essential Songs
Release Date Jan 24, 1995

18 Essential Songs is a one-disc distillation of the triple-disc Janis box set.
Running 70 minutes, it is a more extensive best-of than the ten-track 1973 Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits album.
But it is denied "first pick" status because, unlike that album,
it does not contain the hit version of Joplin's only number one single, "Me and Bobby McGee."
(It does, however, contain an alternate demo version of that song.)

Ultimate Kansas [2002]

Double album ini bener-bener sesuai namanya "Ultimate Kansas".
Walaupun nggak menggambarkan musik Kansas terakhir, tetap album ini
mewakili keinginan pendengar untuk mengetahui
musik pada masa puncak Kansas di tahun 70-an.


Ta'u nggak ...
- Rich Williams dan Phil Ehart selalu muncul pada setiap album Kansas
- Hanya Williams dan Ehart yang asli dari Negara bagian Kansas
- Single "Dust In The Wind" terjual lebih dari 1 juta copy
- Tiket konser Kansas selalu terjual habis pada setiap show sepanjang akhir 70-an


Dulu ini lagu pembuka website resmi Kansas ...

- Carry On Wayward Son -

(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say

(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but
I hear the voices say

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

(Chorus)

- Journey From Mariabronn -

Two began together, lived as one
Each one to the other had become
More than a friend, living to meet a common end
They were true, each one knew all is well

Still the elder knew it could not last
Hidden memories from the young one's past
Drew them apart
Both knew that deep within his heart they must part
Each their own separate way

It puzzles me how we can be so close and yet worlds apart
Can it be, my memory has torn my life in two
From the very start
I screamed for the devil to let me be
I called to the heavens to set me free
Today I prayed for the answer and not one
Of the gods in the sky would rescue me

Dreams of fortune fill the young one's mind
Learn the worldly ways of hope to find
Love on the way, searching to find the light of day
In his soul he had found his own way

But to each other they soon will return
Destiny fulfilled, their words will burn an eternal flame

apalagi ini ..

- Point Of Know return -

I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well
And they say they need sailing men to
Show the way, and leave today
Was it you that said, "How long, how long?"

They say the sea turns so dark that
You know it's time, you see the sign
They say the point demons guard is
An ocean grave, for all the brave,
Was it you that said, "How long, how long,
How long to the point of know return?"

Your father, he said he needs you
Your mother, she says she loves you
Your brothers, they echo your words:
"How far to the point of know return?"
"Well, how long?"

Today I found a message floating
In the sea from you to me
It said that when you could see it
You cried with fear, the Point was near
Was it you that said, "How long, how long
To the Point of Know Return?"


yang ini pasti inget ...

- Dust In The Wind -

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Kansas [1974] Kansas

Kansas dibentuk di Topeka, 1970, oleh
Kerry Livgren (Guitarist), Dave Hope (Bassist) & Phil Ehart (Drummer),
yang telah bermain musik bersama sejak masa SMA.
Dengan bergabungnya Robbie Steinhardt pemain violin classic, kemudian
Steve Walsh (Keyboardist/ Vocalist) dan Richard Williams (Guitars),
Kansas memulai awal berdirinya dengan melakukan tour tanpa kenal lelah dan berjuang agar dikenal. Pada awalnya Kansas menggabungkan antara kerumitan Prog-Rock British dan Boogie style America. Kansas salah satu Band yang populer pada akhir 70-an, yang lagu-lagunya masih sering dimainkan di radio-radio sampai hari ini.

pada album ini ada lagu ...

- Lonely Wind (Steve Walsh) -

When I'm needin' a friend I can talk to the wind
God I sure am glad that I found him
Sometimes he seems to be the only one beside me
Who can feel the Lord's breath all around him
Winter's cold frozen ice or a bright autumn day
On a warm summer night you can hear him say

CHORUS
Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes flow
Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know
My lonely wind must blow

Mighty friend that is mine, can you give me a sign?
He'll leave nothing but only to hear him
I've seen the tall trees bend low when his mighty winds blow
And that's all the more reason I fear him
Hear him call for the earth lonely I can feel his great pain
But on the eve of this day
I'll join in his refrain

CHORUS

When I'm needing a friend I'll remember the wind
And my life here with the breezes of sorrow
I'll be leaving himoon 'cause I've got to make room
For the lonely that will find him tomorrow
On a black stormy night in your bosom I'll cling
And I'll know I've found love and the last song we'll sing

CHORUS

Kansas - Kansas (March, 1974)
Recorded 1973 at Record Plant Studios A & C, New York

Album studio pertama Kansas.
Sangat Prog-Rock dengan banyak sound Violin (bandingkan dengan sound Flute pada album Jethro Tull). Dengan tour yang gak kenal lelah akhirnya album ini cukup sukses dan Kansas dapat diterima oleh para penggemar.

Album ke-tiga King Crimson ini sangat berorientasi jazz dengan pengaruh dari Miles Davis dan sangat Progressive.
Jon Anderson (Yes) menjadi guest pada "Prince Rupert Awakes"

inget lyrics ini...

  - Lady of the Dancing Water - 

Grass in your hair stretched like a lion in the sun
Restlessly turned moistened your mouth with your tongue.
Pouring my wine in your eyes caged mine glowing
Touching your face my fingers strayed knowing.
I called you lady of the dancing water.

Blown autumn leaves shed to the fire where you laid me
Burn slow to ash just as my days now seem to be.
I feel you still always your eyes glowing
Remembered hours salt, earth and flowers flowing
Farewell my lady of the dancing water.

In The Wake Of Poseidon [1970]

King Crimson mengawali tahun 1970 secara kritis dengan kehilangan dua anggota: Ian McDonald & Michael Giles,
dan Greg lake yang berencana akan keluar.
Pada album ini sound guitar Fripp bukan yang dominan.
Suara yang dominan adalah Mellotron, yang dimainkan oleh Fripp (bukan oleh McDonald!)

inget lagu ini ...

- Cadence and Cascade -

Cadence and Cascade
Kept a man named Jade;
Cool in the shade
While his audience played.
Purred, whispered, Spend us too:
We only serve for you.

Sliding mystified
On the wine of the tide
Stared pale-eyed
As his veil fell aside.
Sad paper courtesan
They found him just a man.

Caravan hotel
Where the sequin spell fell
Custom of the game.
Cadence oiled in love
Licked his velvet gloved hand
Cascade kissed his name.

Sad paper courtesan
They knew him just a man.

The Court Of Crimson King [1969]

King Crimson
(Formed Jan 13,1969 in England)

Inget lyric ini...

- Epitaph -

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow Ill be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow Ill be crying.

- I Talk To The Wind -

Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been
Ive been here and Ive been there
And Ive been in between.

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.

Im on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me.

You dont possess me
Dont impress me
Just upset my mind
Cant instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.



King Crimson adalah salah satu group Progressive Rock yang banyak di puja sekaligus diumpat.
nama King Crimson diambil dari salah satu lyric lagu yang dibuat oleh Peter Sinfield
dan sekaligus judul awal album mereka.. The Court Of Crimson King..
King Crimson juga berarti Beelzebub atau pemimpin setan.

Michael Giles (Drums, Vocals), Peter Giles (Bass, Vocals), Robert Fripp (Guitar),

maka akan tampak gambar mata yang sedang sangat bersedih.
Menurut Fripp itu refleksi dari music yang dapat sangat bertentangan!

The Very Best Of Jethro Tull

Kalo denger suara flute di musik Rock kita langsung tau itu Jethro Tull!
Musik Jethro Tull sulit dimasukkan ke dalam satu genre,
itu karena mereka memainkan mulai dari Blues, Folk Rock, Prog Rock sampai yang dipengaruhi Jazz.
Beberapa lagu menjadi begitu terkenal karena liriknya. contohnya ini...

- Too Old to Rock 'N' Roll: Too Young to Die -
The old Rocker wore his hair too long,
wore his trouser cuffs too tight.
Unfashionable to the end drank his ale too light.
Death's head belt buckle yesterday's dreams
the transport cafe prophet of doom.
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
in his post-war-babe gloom.

Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die.

So the old Rocker gets out his bike
to make a ton before he takes his leave.
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
just like it used to be.
And as he flies tears in his eyes
his wind-whipped words echo the final take
and he hits the trunk road doing around 120
with no room left to brake.

And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he was too young to die.

No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

atau coba dengerin yang ini...

- Aqualung -
Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Feeling alone
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.
