Living for the City - Stevie Wonder
Esta maravilla que entre otras muchas virtudes tiene una intro con una cadencia imposible donde alterna el mismo acorde en modo mayor y menor, es un reivindicativo tema (como muchos del maravilloso Stevie) que formó parte de uno de los míticos discos, Innervisions, que en los 70 forjaron la leyenda del genial músico.
En la versión de estudio, como ya hiciera en muchas ocasiones, tocaba todos los instrumentos: voz principal, voces de acompañamiento, el teclado Fender Rhodes, batería, Moog bass, sintetizador T.O.N.T.O. y palmas.
Espero que os guste
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah
His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
Living just enough...
For the city...ooh,ooh
[repeat several times]
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah, yeah, yeah!
I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
