Ooit... Lang geleden, maar hij bestaat nog!
Lekker vaag om zo te beginnen... Maar goed, ooit, lang geleden heb ik een CD gemaakt genaamd "Top Hits". Hierop stonden hits die ik geweldig vond. Moet ik zeggen dat het overgrote deel mij nog steeds beroert. De meesten stammen uit mindere periodes, maar ook nummers waar ik gewoon vrolijk van word. Waarom kan ik niet uitleggen. Vandaar dat ik ook dit nummer zo enorm graag wil toelichten...
The Riddle van Gigi d'Agostino
Eigenlijk is het nummer dat nergens over gaat... Althans, zo voelt het voor mij. Dus ook maar de songtekst!
I got two strong arms
blessings of Babylon
time to carry on and try
for sins and false alarms
so to America the brave
wise men save.

Near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground
where an old man of Aran
goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right.
He'll never, never fight over you.

I got time to kill
sly looks in corridors
without a plan of yours
a blackbird sings on bluebird hill
thanks to the calling of the wild
wise men's child.

I got plans for us
nights in the scullery
and days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
oh for anything but light.
Wise men fighting over you.

It's not me you see
pieces of valentine
with just a song of mine
to keep from burning history
seasons of gasoline and gold.
Wise men fold.

Zoals te lezen gaat het niet echt ergens over. De clip overigens ook niet, gewoon een groene achtergrond met een wit lijntje waaruit eigenlijk twee poppetjes verschijnen. Misschien is het die eenvoud met het vrolijk deuntje dat mij vrolijk maakt. Ik weet het niet... Maar ach, je moet wat zo in de nacht, dus dan maar eens lekker rond neuzen op internet, daarvoor hebben ze het toch uitgevonden!
