Roy Harper - Hope

The great band "Anathema" has made a cover of this song, but I think that this original version is...simply perfect :)
I love Roy Harper's music.
Enjoy it.

artist: Roy Harper and Jimmy Page
album: Whatever happened to Jugula
track: 3
Title: Hope

lyrics:

When you look at me
From your own century
I may seem to be
Strange archeology
But when the winds blow
From this direction
You may sense me there
In your reflection
I think I feel you
But I will never know
As the swallows leave
And the children grow

I wanted to live forever
The same is you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew

When I caught you there
In tomorrows mirror
I thought felt you
Jump out of my skin
Throwing oil into
My blazing memories
Filling empty footsteps
I was standing in

I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew

As the falling rain
Of the northern jungle
Hanging droplets on the leaves
Bombards my brain
I hear you
Across the room
A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
You are the mist
The frost across my window pane
And again

She moves her body
And her whispers weave
And the world spins
And tells me that I'll never want to leave

As I think of you
From this dark century
I will always be
With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearing
That we're not just
Spirits disappearing

David Gilmour ha composto la musica della terza traccia, "Hope", mentre Harper ha scritto il testo, e Nick Harper (il figlio allora sedicenne), ha suonato la chitarra solista in questo brano. Una versione suonata con ritmo più veloce e liriche differenti, compare con il titolo di "White City Fighting" nell'album White City: A Novel di Pete Townshend.

Una cover di "Hope", con "Bad Speech" come introduzione, è presente nell'album Eternity del gruppo metal Anathema. (wikipedia)

già :)

ha collaborato anche con i Pink Floyd e lo stesso Gilmour ha partecipato alla realizzazione di diverse altre sue canzoni. I Led Zeppelin gli hanno dedicato una canzone (Hats off to Roy Harper).

E' ingiustamente troppo poco conosciuto secondo me...è uno dei miei artisti preferiti.

Roy Harper canta nel pezzo "Have a cigar", giusto?

[karilibradude]

really thought was jimmy playing,sounds like him

[stersnevet77]

@YesOuiSi Also the lyrics "the daffodils spring into bloom..." is the same melody/riff of the bass solo on Townsends White City. I discovered this many years ago and played for my friends and they said "well, maybe it's the same..." I just shook my head in disappointment. Non-musicians...

David Gilmour...gave the light to this..

it s just awsome!

@apparentesistenza

TI STIMO.

The guitar track on this song is the exact same track used on Pete Townshend's song "White City Fighting" .... It is the exact same tape of guitar; not just the same notes played on two different recordings...The Same Recording for the guitar track.. Just an interesting fact.

Yes Jimmy played on some songs, not hope.....

For more information, look at the site from RIZLA sigaret paper I think only to get in the Netherlands.

Other numbers Roy did with Jimmy, David Gilmore was not on this album, and you're right, Roy sung at the pink-floyd album "Wish you were Here" have a sigar......
