форум поклонников The Doors & Jim Morrison Дорзмания Soft Parade

Чего-то мне везет на Моррисона по телеящику
Можно сказать еще вчера канал Ностальгия среди событий дня выделил последнее выступление Дорз, а сегодня по каналу A-One в новостях передали о новом видеоклипе на уже сравнительно и неновую песню Air - Don’t Be Light, эта совместная работа замечательных французских мультиинструменталистов, с не менее, замечательным английским их коллегой Бэком.
Клип получился рисованный, черно-белый и вроде нечем непримечательный, но перед его показом на A-One виджей сказал, что он делался под влиянием музыки Джима Моррисона.
Интересное сочетание - музыка Джима Моррисона ))

Lyrics:
Don't Be Light [Version (a)]:

Don't be light, don't be light
Don't be light, maybe like me
Don't be light, don't be light
Don't be light, maybe like me
Don't be light

Don't don't be light
Don't maybe like me
Don't light don't be light
Don't light maybe like me
Don't light

Don't be light, don't be light oh
Wild life, the grey surprises of our days
Singing in caves, fabricating a new abandon
We don't see the master's hand
We bang on gold tambourines
In the crosshairs of some transient gun
Trading desires on the banquet line
La la la la la la... la la la la la la
La la la la la la... la la la la la la

Don't don't be light
Don't, maybe like me
Don't be light, don't be light
Don't be light, maybe like me
Don't be light

The Song:

"Don't Be Light"-a track on 10000 Hz. Legend by Air—is a terrific, interesting recording. There is a lot going on in it, from the gorgeous intro and the campy riff to a heavily distorted electric bass solo that sounds like a guitar and the person whistling during the ending. I think the whole thing is a blast. Beck's contribution is the spoken poem in the middle. Beck's friends, Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Roger Manning Jr., also appear on this track.

Beck talked about his poem for this song while appearing on KCRW on May 26, 2001 (a few days before 10000 Hz. Legend was released). He said that Dunckel and Godin (i.e., Air) asked him to write "some Lizard King-type prose" for their song. Beck did, but was a little embarrassed by it, and Air had to talk him into putting it on the album. Beck felt that it "bordered on the edge of pretentiousness," but that was probably what Air was looking for by asking him to write some Jim Morrison-type poetry. The good thing is that Beck stayed away from cliche (as usual).

Interestingly, Beck does not get a songwriting credit on the song. I guess his poem was considered to be more like a sample, or a bass line, or just another aspect of their tune (unlike Beck's full collaboration on the same album, "The Vagabond"). It is just one part of a much greater whole, which Dunckel admitted when he said, "This is the most important song on the album. Each time someone came into the studio to record a song, they did something for this song before they left. It's a big track on the album. It sums it all up."
