Zwijmelen op Zaterdag: Keep on Smiling


Voor iedereen die in zwaar weer zit. 
Of gewoon een minder dagje heeft. 
Of gewoon even baalt. 
(En ook een beetje voor mezelluf). 
Een liedje om je erdoorheen te helpen. 

Ik hoorde het van de week op de radio. 
Voor het eerst. Het is toch al een oud liedje. Jaren 70. dus toch al gauw zo'n 30 jaar, eh... bijna 50 jaar oud :-). 
De band zei me ook niks. 
Maar de tekst deed me goed. 
En het mondharmonicaatje ook. 

En ik me natuurlijk af vragen wat een Wet Willie is. 
Ik leg het uit met een plaatje :-).

Well you say you got the blues,
Got holes in both of your shoes,
Feelin' alone and confused,
You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'

Yeah, you're about to go insane,
Cause your womans playing games
And she says that you're to blame,
You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'

Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes til the sun comes out again
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes, singin' this refrain

Singin' in a honky tonk cafe,
Nobody's hearin' what you play,
they're too busy drinkin' anyway,
You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'

You say you found a peace of land
Gonna change from city boy to country man
Try to build your life with your hands
You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'

Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes til the sun comes out again
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes, singin' this refrain

you're just hangin' out in a local bar,
And you're wonderin' who the hell you are
Are you a bum or are you a star?

Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes til the sun comes out again
Keep on smilin' through the rain, laughin' at the pain
Rollin with the changes, singin' this refrain

Songwriters: Jack Virgil Jr. Hall / James Robert Hall / John David A

Zwijmelen op Zaterdag: Rollercoaster


Op deze week is maar 1 liedje van toepassing...
Het prachtige nieuwe nummer van Danny Vera. Vanaf de eerste gitaarklanken geraakt.
Iedere keer als ik in de auto zat kwam het voorbij. En dat was fijn, want het is zo mooi.
Deze live-versie van Radio2 kwam enorm binnen.
En thuis wel 20 keer op repeat gehad...





Here we go
On this rollercoaster life we know
With those crazy heighs and real deep lows
I really don't know why
And I will go
To the farthest place on earth I know
I can travel all the roads, you see
'Cause I know you there with me
You don't have to slow me down
'Cause I will always be around
I will find my way back home
Where magnolia grows, where magnolia grows
But I guess you know
Why I do what I do and where I go
I try to fill an empty space inside
But I can't do that without you
You're even with me in my dreams
I see us sail the seven seas
I will try to find my way
You're always there tomorrow, you're always there tomorrow
Here we go
On this rollercoaster life we know
With those crazy heighs and real deep lows
I really don't know why
And I will go
To the farthest place on earth I know
I can travel all the roads you see
'Cause I know you there with me
You don't have to slow me down
'Cause I will always be around
I will find my way back home
Where magnolia grows, where magnolia grows
Here we go
On this rollercoaster life we know
With those crazy heighs and real deep lows
I really don't know why
And I will go
To the farthest place on earth I know
I can travel all the roads you see
'Cause I know you there with me
Here we go
On this rollercoaster life we know
I can travel all the roads you see
'Cause I know you there with me
'Cause I know
Oh I know
You're there with me
