Bugün Bob Marley’in doğum günü. Bunun hakkında bir şey yazmak istemedim. Blogumdaki efsaneler konseptini kullanarak kendisini anmak istedim yalnızca. Malum, kendisi de bir EFSANE.

Bob Marley’i çok da dinlemiyorum aslında. Ama klipteki şarkı sürekli dilime takılanlardan. Sanırım kolay sözlere sahip olması bunda bir etken. One Love şarkısının klibinde dönemin ünlüleri de oynamış. Benim tek tanıdığım Paul Mccartney. İnternetten biraz araştırdım diğerleri kimdir diye, şöyle isimler çıktı: Bananarama grubunun iki üyesi, Suggs ve Chas Smash of Madness. Bunlar da ünlüymüş o zamanlar. Bunları bilelim.

Şarkının sözlerini de paylaşalım sonra arkamıza yaslanıp dinleyelim huzurluca.

one love! one heart!
let’s get together and feel all right.
hear the children cryin’ (one love!);
hear the children cryin’ (one heart!),
sayin’: give thanks and praise to the lord and i will feel all right;
sayin’: let’s get together and feel all right. wo wo-wo wo-wo!

let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love!);
there is one question i’d really love to ask (one heart!):
is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

one love! what about the one heart? one heart!
what about – ? let’s get together and feel all right
as it was in the beginning (one love!);
so shall it be in the end (one heart!),
all right!
give thanks and praise to the lord and i will feel all right;
let’s get together and feel all right.
one more thing!

let’s get together to fight this holy armagiddyon (one love!),
so when the man comes there will be no, no doom (one song!).
have pity on those whose chances grows t’inner;
there ain’t no hiding place from the father of creation.

sayin’: one love! what about the one heart? (one heart!)
what about the – ? let’s get together and feel all right.
i’m pleadin’ to mankind! (one love!);
oh, lord! (one heart) wo-ooh!

give thanks and praise to the lord and i will feel all right;
let’s get together and feel all right.
give thanks and praise to the lord and i will feel all right;
let’s get together and feel all right. /fadeout/

Efsaneler konsepti günün anlam ve önemine hizmet de edebiliyormuş bugün bunu anladım. Bugün unutulmayacak bir gün. Popun Kralı’nın, müzik deyince akla gelen birkaç isimden birinin, dünyanın en enteresan karakterlerinden birinin öldüğü gün bugün. Bir efsanenin.

Efsanenin en sevdiğim şarkısı Billie Jean’in klibini izliyoruz bu sefer. Herkese moonwalk’lu günler.

she was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
i said don’t mind, but what do you mean i am the one
who will dance on the floor in the round
she said i am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
2nd verse
she told me her name was billie jean, as she caused a scene
then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
who will dance on the floor in the round

people always told me be careful of what you do
and don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
and mother always told me be careful of who you love
and be careful of what you do ’cause the lie becomes the truth

billie jean is not my lover
she’s just a girl who claims that i am the one
but the kid is not my son
she says i am the one, but the kid is not my son

for forty days and forty nights
the law was on her side
but who can stand when she’s in demand
her schemes and plans
’cause we danced on the floor in the round
so take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(do think twice)

she told my baby that¡¯s a threat
as she looked at me
then showed a photo of a baby cries
eyes would like mine
go on dance on the floor in the round, baby

people always told me be careful of what you do
and don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
she came and stood right by me
then the smell of sweet perfume
this happened much too soon
she called me to her room

billie jean is not my lover
she’s just a girl who claims that i am the one
but the kid is not my son
billie jean is not my lover
she’s just a girl who claims that i am the one
but the kid is not my son
she says i am the one, but the kid is not my son
she says i am the one, but the kid is not my son
billie jean is not my lover
she’s just a girl who claims that i am the one
but the kid is not my son
she says i am the one, but the kid is not my son
she says i am the one, she says he is my son
she says i am the one
billie jean is not my lover
billie jean is not my lover
billie jean is not my lover
billie jean is not my lover
billie jean is not my lover
billie jean is not my lover

Sıradaki efsane klibimiz benim için en efsane gruptan geliyor: Pink Floyd

Şarkıyla bu kadar özdeşleşen bir klip var mıdır başka? O da ayrı bir konsept konusu olur. Olursa bu klip ilk işlenecek klip olur. Pink Floyd aksini iddia etse de bence “Another Brick In The Wall” şarkısıyla Türk eğitim sistemini anlatmışlar. Ne eksik ne fazla. Klipteki öğretmenin yerine bir Türk koy, bitti gitti işte.

Klipteki sözler şöyle. Klipteki diyorum çünkü iki şarkı karışık:

Önce “The Happiest Days of Our Lives” şarkısıyla başlıyor klip.

when we grew up and went to school
there were certain teachers
who would hurt the children in any way they could
by pouring their derision
upon anything we did
exposing every weakness
however carefully hidden by the kids

but in the town it was well known
when they got home at night
their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them
within inches of their lives

Sonra “Another Brick In The Wall” giriyor:

we don’t need no education
we dont need no thought control
no dark sarcasm in the classroom
teachers leave them kids alone
hey! teachers! leave them kids alone!
all in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
all in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

we don’t need no education
we dont need no thought control
no dark sarcasm in the classroom
teachers leave them kids alone
hey! teachers! leave us kids alone!
all in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
all in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

Klibin sonunda çocuğun baktığı fotoğraf, çalan telefon. Ne anlatılıyor acaba?

Bir sonraki efsanede görüşmek üzere…
