"A Long December" -- COUNTING CROWS
При
всём пессимизме Адама Дюретса, особенно проявившемся
на альбоме 1996 года “Recovering The Sattelites”, текст “A Long December” сложно назвать «мрачным». Да, он «по-зимнему»
холодный и пасмурный, но всё же есть «проблески»: “ If you think you might come to California...I think you should”. Вообще тексты COUNTING CROWS того периода отражали внутренние личные
переживания лидера группы. Кроме того, в “A Long December”
довольно колоритно передано состояние калифорнийской зимы…
A long December, and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I can be forgiven....I wish you would
The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that its all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...I think
you should
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And its been a long December, and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean. I guess I should.
