« La musique et les chansons sont un tourbillon de contradictions, de vide, de plénitude, de joie, de chagrin, de destruction, de permanence » expliquent le duo folk Gillian Welch & David Rawlings. Il a fallu donc être patient et reconstruire leur antre pour donner vie à ces nouvelles chansons, les premières originales depuis Poor David’s Almanack.
Woodland de Gillian Welch & David Rawlings sort le 23 août chez Acony Records.
Gillian Welch & David Rawlings – Empty Trainload Of Sky
Saw a freight train yesterday
It was chugging, plugging away
‘Cross a river trestle so high
Just a boxcar blue
Showing daylight clear through
Just an empty trainload of skyWell it hit me and it hurt me
Made my good humor desert me
For a moment I was tempted to fly
To the Devil or the Lord
As it hung there like a sword
Just an empty trainload of skyWas it spirit? Was it solid?
Did I ditch that class in college?
Pulled the curtain from my eye
I said hey hey, my mySaw a freight train yesterday
It was chugging, plugging away
Just an empty trainload of sky
Just an empty trainload of sky
Just an empty trainload of sky
