Baby Scream - "Sadly Beautiful" (Paul Westerberg) - 2008.

A great song by Paul Westerberg (The Replacements) from their "All Shook Down" L.P.
Live at "The Sanctuary Cellar", Brighton - 23/08/08, Brighton, U.K. http://www.mp3lyrics.org/PFux




From the very first day that you were born
to the very last time you waved
and honked your horn
I had no chance at all to watch you grow
up so sadly, beautiful
up so sadly, beautiful

Baby needs a brand new pair of eyes
cause the ones you got now
see only goodbyes
had no chance at all to let you know
oh so sadly, beautiful
sadly, beautiful

Well you got your father's hair
and you got your father's nose
but you got my soul
sadly, beautiful

From the very last time you
waved and honked your horn
to a face that turned away pale and worn
had no chance at all to let you know
you left me sadly, beautiful
left me sadly, beautiful

Sadly, beautiful
so sadly
so sadly

Todos esas son gigantes canciones!

Paul Westerberg es un genio, yo te diría que a mi me cambió la forma de escribir canciones, en 2007 grabé una parte de mi cd Ups and Downs en Alemania e hicimos Skyway con unos amigos de allá (The Cheeks), pasame tu email y te la mando.

Nunca lo pude ver en vivo, es uno de mis deseos musicales más fuertes, quizás el número 1.

Ahora estoy devuelta en Buenos Aires.

this is one of my favorite p. w. songs. you did it justice...

[babyscream]

well you know I grew up with this song and I am always changing the lyrics for personal reasons, fitting to my reality....like "you got your mother's hair" or "you are so sadly beautiful"....wich are not the original phrases...

I kinda feel it like my song at times, I think this is why Paul is such a gifted writer.

I love Mr. Westerberg.
