The Walkabouts/Neil Young - Like a Hurricane

11 Stunden Zugfahrt am letzten Wochenende haben mir viel Zeit zum Musikhören gegeben. Dabei bin ich auf ein Lied der Walkabouts gestoßen, das im Original von Neil Young ist: Like a Hurricane. Das erste Mal hab ich dieses Lied in der Unplugged-Version gehört. Im Gegensatz dazu und zum eigentlichen Original ist die Version der Walkabouts deutlich rockiger. Und als Schmankerl singt Chris Eckman, der Sänger der Walkabouts, eine zusätzliche Strophe, die von Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water geklaut ist. Smoke on the Water handelt von einem Aufenthalt von Deep Purple am Montreux Jazz Festival, während dessen das Casino der Stadt komplett abgebrannt ist (deswegen Rauch auf dem Wasser des Sees). Und wie so oft hat der Inhalt des Liedes auch ein bisschen etwas Wahres an sich.Once I thought I saw you in a crowded, hazy bar,
dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moon beams, I know that's who you are.
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye.
And I'm getting blown away.
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay.
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
and you could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips,
that perfect feeling when time just slips
away between us and our foggy trips.
You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye.
And I'm getting blown away.
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay.
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away.
***
We all came down to Montreux
By the Lake Geneva shoreline
Frank Zappa and the mothers had the best place around
Some stupid with a flare-gun
Burnt the place to the ground
