Jestem..
świeca zapalona i Three Times As Bad...

[Pawel Freebird Michaliszy]

Siwy koń spokojnie czeka
Aż dosiądzie go żołnierz, by wyruszyć w swą ostatnią podróż
Deszcz spływa z jego kapelusza...
Możesz niemal zobaczyć cienie przeszłości w jego oczach

Kanion jest teraz cichy
Wszyscy jego przyjaciele dawno już odeszli
Teraz musi zostawić to wszystko za sobą
...Jeśli kiedykolwiek zapragnie znaleźć swoją drogę do domu...
To Ostatni Buntownik w drodze

Po prostu chłopiec ze swoją starą gitarą
Trzyma się własnych spraw, i nikt tak naprawdę go nie rozumie
A on doskonale sobie radzi
Ma marzenia, które nigdy nie zginą
.....Nie można go zmienić...
Nie ma przecież sensu pozostawać w miejscu, do którego nie należysz

Teraz mknie w dół doliny
Odszedł zbyt daleko.... zbyt szybko...
Nikt go nigdy nie znajdzie
A on już nigdy nie będzie się za siebie oglądał

Bo to Ostatni Buntownik
Samotny...
To Ostatni Buntownik
Wszyscy jego przyjaciele dawno już odeszli

Ostatni Buntownik w drodze

Już nigdy nie będzie kogoś takiego jak on
Jest ostatnim z umierającego gatunku
Nie ma sensu starać się go zmienić
Jest Ostatnim Buntownikiem
........................................

Gdy byłem mały, mam powiedziała do mnie
„Chodź synu, usiądź na chwilę przy mnie
i posłuchaj uważnie tego, co ci powiem
Jeśli to zrobisz
Może ci to pomóc pewnego słonecznego dnia

Ciesz się swoim czasem…nie żyj zbyt szybko
Kłopoty przyjdą i odejdą
Idź, znajdź kobietę, wierzę, że znajdziesz miłość
I nie zapomnij mój synu
Że jest jeszcze ktoś na górze

I bądź zwykłym człowiekiem
Bądź czymś, co będzie kochać i rozumieć
Bądź zwykłym człowiekiem
Zrób to dla mnie synu
Jeśli będziesz potrafił...

Zapomnij o złocie bogaczy
Wszystko, czego potrzebujesz jest w twojej duszy
Możesz to zrobić, jeśli tylko się postarasz
Wszystko, czego chcę dla ciebie synu
To żebyś był spełniony

I nie martw się… w końcu znajdziesz siebie
Podążaj za swoim sercem, nie słuchaj innych głosów
Możesz to zrobić, jeśli tylko się postarasz
Wszystko, czego chcę dla ciebie synu
To żebyś był spełniony

ROAD TO INFINITY

Z nieba do żałoby lekko wpadając pomiędzy jedno a drugie
A wszystko i tak się kręci i trwa nadal
Twoje życie to tylko show
Z aktorami z kamienia
Patrzą uparcie w twoje oczy i upadają
Czy już nie pamiętasz jak spokojnie sobie żyłeś
Tak bezpiecznie jak cicha róża

A kim jesteś teraz
Zamarzniętym, zakurzonym grobem
Płaczesz, płaczesz
Gorzkimi łzami żalu nad odległymi wspomnieniami
Wołasz,
Wołasz puste demony twojego życia
Cienie za którymi tak tęsknisz
Odlatujesz
Odlatujesz coraz szybciej i wyżej
Widzę jak płyniesz po niebie

Rosną puste uczucia twoje uczucia miękko odpływają
Nosisz swój własny krzyż
I upadasz razem z nadzieją, upadasz...

Mijają dni, mijają lata
Są chwile, których nie dostrzegasz
(stoję nad rzeką)
niczym biały cień na ścianie

Mijają dni, mijają lata
I wiem, że zbliża się koniec
Życie jest twoim więzieniem w którym mieszkasz

Blizny na twoich rękach malują kolor słońca
A ty wiesz dlaczego
Wiem, że twoje wybawienie i ucieczka, twój obiecany ląd

Ty i ja na zawsze przyjaciele w potrzebie
Którzy nigdy nie chcieli się czuć naprawdę samotni

I stać nas było tylko na walkę, oto dlaczego
Nigdy nie byliśmy mocni i nigdy naprawdę nie wygraliśmy.

..."A long time ago, Ronnie asked us “If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?” Tonight, I think we all would answer the same …

Fly on, Free Bird …."

[Pawel Freebird Michaliszy]

One original left, Gary Rossington. Ricky Medlocke counts, as he was with the band early (about 1970) and left to form Blackfoot, then came back for good in about 1996? I hope Skynyrd continues. I guess I'll leave that subject alone until the band has time to grieve this huge loss.

W duzym skrócie:

1964
Ronnie Van Zant hits a line drive that strikes Bob Burns in the head, who was watching the game with Gary Rossington. Burns is knocked unconscious but the three became friends and have a common interest in music. They soon form a band along with Allen Collins and Larry Junstrom. That fall 'The Noble Five' plays their first gig for $10.
1965
The core of Lynyrd Skynyrd- singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Gary Rossington, guitarist Allen Collins, bassist Leon Wilkeson, and drummer Bob Burns- is formed at a high school in Jacksonville, FL, initially as the group, 'My Backyard.' The name is later changed to Lynyrd Skynyrd to immortalize school gym teacher Leonard Skinner, a legendary antagonist of longhaired students. Ronnie Van Zant enters into a brief marriage with Nadine.
1966
Ronnie and Nadine's daughter, Tammy Michelle is born.
1968
Lynyrd Skynyrd records 'Michelle' and 'Need All My Friends.' The latter is released as their debut single on Shade Tree Records, a label based in their hometown.
1969
Lynyrd Skynyrd wins a battle of the bands contest in Hemming Park located in Jacksonville, FL. Lacy Van Zant (Ronnie's father) drives the band to Atlanta to record two songs as the prize. They record 'Spoonful' and 'Michelle.' Lacy also gives them $120 for a Bogan PA for vocals.
1970
Allen Collins marries Kathy Johns. The band starts rehearsing at Hell House. By this time all the members have dropped out of Robert E. Lee High School. Before a gig at Jay's Forest Inn, Ronnie Van Zant introduces the band as Leonard Skinner, a high school gym teacher who tormented them for their long hair. They later change the spelling to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Roadie Billy Powell joins the band as keyboardist. The band asks to be let out of their contract with Shade Tree Records.
1971
Bob Burns leaves the band and is replaced by Rickey Medlocke. In January Lynyrd Skynyrd record their demo album at Quinvy Studios in Muscle Shoals. Larry Junstrom leaves the band.

On November 18th Ronnie Van Zant marries Judy Seymour Rickey Medlocke leaves the band and Bob Burns returns. Leon Wilkeson replaces Larry Junstrom.
1973
The debut album 'Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd' is released and goes gold. In November they open for The Who on their 'Quadrophenia' tour. At Funochios, an Atlanta club, Al Kooper notices Lynyrd Skynyrd and signs them to his Sounds Of The South label. Rickey Medlocke rejoins the band giving them two drummers, but leaves the band soon after. Leon Wilkeson leaves the band but soon rejoins. Ed King joins the band as bass player but later switches to guitar.
1974
The band releases their second effort, 'Second Helping,' which spawns their first charting U.S. single 'Sweet Home Alabama.' The song is seen as a southerner's response to Neil Young's 1971 song 'Southern Man.' The single reaches #8 on the charts, with the album itself hitting #12 (earning yet another gold disc)
1975
The band releases their third album, 'Nuthin Fancy,' and it goes gold. The single from the album is 'Saturday Night Special.'

In September, Gary Rossington is injured in a car accident in Jacksonville, which inspires 'That Smell.' Steve Gaines joins the band. The new effort, 'Gimme Back My Bullets'- produced by Tom Dowd- will reach Top 20 and become the band's fourth consecutive gold record. 'One More For The Road' release becomes the group's largest-selling album of their career thus far with over a million copies sold. The live version of 'Freebird' will once again chart. The response in the UK is such that the band will perform alongside the Rolling Stones, amongst others, at the Knebworth Festival. The band tours with The Rolling Stones.

Rossington, Collins, Powell, Wilkeson, and Leslie Hawkins, are all seriously injured but survive the crash. Out of courtesy and good judgement MCA Records withdraws the sleeve of the just released album 'Street Survivors,' which pictures the group standing in flames. The album will become the band's second platinum selling album, hitting #5 on the U.S. album chart.
1978
A single , 'What's Your Name,' from the album titled 'Street Survivors' escalates up the charts to the #13 position, while another single, 'You Got That Right' follows suit by also charting.

Przed chwilą kliknęłam w mojej poczcie na ostatni link do tej audycji.
Pomyślałam: pewnie Freebird napisał w nocy, że dojechał już z radia do domu.

Wzruszyłam się, kiedy przeczytałam Pawle Twoje wpisy.
Usiadłeś tu, zapaliłeś świecę i nadal żegnałeś się z Billy Powellem.
Wspominałeś Wasze wspólne chwile..
Wypełniłeś przestrzeń wokół siebie ciszą refleksji i jego muzyką..

Spieszmy się kochać ludzi, tak szybko odchodzą
zostaną po nich buty i telefon głuchy
tylko to, co nieważne jak krowa się wlecze
najważniejsze tak prędkie, że nagle się staje
potem cisza normalna więc całkiem nieznośna
jak czystość urodzona najprościej z rozpaczy
kiedy myślimy o kimś zostając bez niego
