How long have I been drifting alone through Ma per quanto mi sono trascinato da solo nella the night notte? How long have I've dreaming I could make it Ma per quanto ho continuato a sognare che ce right l’avrei fatta, If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might da solo, ad occhi bendati, sforzandomi, con tutto me stesso To be the one you need di essere ciò di cui avevi bisogno? Musica & Memoria www.musicaememoria.com Pag. 1 Awake again I can't pretend Sveglia! non posso più fingere And I know I'm alone E so che sono solo And close to the end Vicino alla fine Of the feeling we've known Di quell’amore che conoscevamo How long I've been sleeping Ma quanto ho dormito? How long have I been drifting alone through Ma per quanto mi sono trascinato da solo nella the night notte? How long have I been running for that morning Ma per quanto tempo ho corso dietro a quel flight volo di mattina Through the whispered promises and the attraverso le promesse sussurrate e nel mutare changing light della luce In the bed where we both lie in quel letto dove stavamo noi due Late for the sky in ritardo per il cielo? FOUNTAIN OF SORROW FONTANA DI TRISTEZZA Looking through some photographs I found Guardando certe fotografie che ho trovato in inside a drawer fondo ad un cassetto I was taken by a photograph of you Mi ha colpito una foto tua There were one or two I know you would have Ce n’erano due o tre che so ti sarebbero liked a little more piaciute di più But they didn't show your spirit quite as true Ma non mi pareva mostrassero davvero chi sei tu You were turning 'round to see who was behind Tu eri mezza girata e guardavi qualcuno dietro you di te And I took your childhood laughter by surprise Ed ho afferrato il tuo riso infantile come di sorpresa And at the moment that my camera happened E in quel momento che la macchina ti ha to find you catturato There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes C’era come una traccia di tristezza nei tuoi occhi Now the things that I remember seem so Adesso quello che ricordo sembra così lontano, distant, so small così piccolo Though it hasn't really been that long a time Eppure non è proprio tanto tempo fa What I was seeing wasn't what was happening Quello che vedevo non era quello che accadeva at all Although for awhile, our path did seem to Eppure per un po’ il nostro sembrava un climb cammino spedito When you see through love's illusions, there Quando guardi dentro le illusioni d’amore, lì sta lies the danger il pericolo And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect E il tuo amante perfetto pare proprio un fool perfetto pazzo So you go running off in search of a perfect Finché non arrivi a correr dietro al perfetto stranger sconosciuto While the loneliness seems to spring from your Mentre la solitudine sprizza dalla tua vita life Like a fountain from a pool come il getto in una Fontana Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light Fontana di tristezza, Fontana di luce You've known that hollow sound of your own Hai saputo il vuoto suono che facevano i tuoi steps in flight passi in volo Yoùve had to hide sometimes but now yoùre all Qualche volta ti sei dovuto nascondere ma ora right va tutto bene And it's good to see your smiling face tonight E mi piace rivedere la tua faccia ridente stasera Musica & Memoria www.musicaememoria.com Pag. 2 Now for you and me it made not be that hard Beh, per noi due non è stato così difficile to reach our dreams afferrare i nostri sogni But that magic feeling never seems to last Quel momento magico sembra non finire mai And while the future's there for anyone to E mentre il futuro è lì pronto a cambiarci tutti change Still you know it's seems Pure sembra che sarebbe più semplice It would be easier sometimes to change the a volte cambiare il passato past I'm just one or two years and a couple of Io sto proprio un paio d’anni e di cambiamenti changes behind you dietro a te In my lessons at love's pain and heartache quanto a lezioni d’amore e a scuola di cuore school spezzato Where if you feel too free and you need E se ti senti troppo libera e hai bisogno di una something to remind you rinfrescatina Theres this loneliness springing up from your c’è qui questa tristezza che sprizza dalla life Like a fountain from a pool tua vita come un getto da una Fontana Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light Fontana di tristezza Fontana di luce Yoùve known that hollow sound of your own Hai saputo il vuoto suono che facevano i tuoi steps in flight passi in volo Yoùve had to hide sometimes but now yoùre Qualche volta ti sei dovuto nascondere ma ora alright va tutto bene And it's good to see your smiling face tonight E mi piace rivedere la tua faccia ridente stasera Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light Fontana di tristezza Fontana di luce Yoùve known that hollow sound of your own Hai saputo il vuoto suono che facevano i tuoi steps in flight passi in volo Yoùve had to struggle, yoùve had to fight Hai dovuto lottare, e combattere To keep understanding and compassion in Per non dimenticare compassione e sight comprensione You could be laughing at me, yoùve got the Potresti ridere di me, ne avresti diritto right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright Però continui a sorridere, così chiara, così sfavillante FARTHER ON PIU' DISTANTE In my early years I hid my tears Quando ero più giovane ho nascosto le mie lacrime And passed my days alone e trascorrevo i miei giorni da solo Adrift on an ocean of loneliness alla deriva in un oceano di malinconia My dreams like nets were thrown I miei sogni gettati come reti To catch the love that I'd heard of per acchiappare l’amore di cui avevo sentito In books and films and songs nei libri e canzoni e film Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy Ora c’è un mondo di illusione e fantasia In the place where the real world belongs nell posto in cui dovrebbe esserci il mondo reale Now I look for the beauty in songs Ora cerco la bellezza nelle canzoni To fill my head and lead me on per riempirmi la testa ed eccitarmi Though my dreams have come up torn and anche se questi sogni mi ritornano empty As many times as love has come and gone strappati e vuoti tante volte quante l’amore che viene e che va To those gentle ones my memory runs la mia memoria corre a quelli gentili Musica & Memoria www.musicaememoria.com Pag. 3 To the laughter we shared at the meals alle risate insieme alle cene in cui ho I filled their kitchens and living rooms riempito cucine e sale da pranzo With my schemes and my broken wheels coi miei schemi e le mie ruote a pezzi It was never clear how far or near non era mai chiaro quanto lontano o vicino The gates to my citadel lay fossero messi i cancelli della mia cittadina They we're cutting from stone some dreams of intagliati nella pietra alcuni dei loro sogni their own But they listened to mine anyway ma comunque hanno ascoltato i miei I'm not sure what I'm trying to say non so cosa sto tentando di dire It could be I've lost my way forse mi sono perso Though I keep a watch over the distance un occhio alla distanza Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday il Cielo non è più vicino oggi di ieri And the angels are older e gli angeli invecchiano They know not to wait up for the sun non sanno più aspettare su il sole They look over my shoulder guardano oltre la mia spalla At the maps and the drawings of the journey alle mappe disegnate del viaggio che ho I've begun intrapreso Now the distance leads me farther on ora la distanza mi porta più lontano Though the reasons I once had are gone anche se i motivi che avevo non ci sono più I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for continuo a credere che troverò quello che cerco In the sand beneath the dawn sotto la sabbia all’alba But the angels are older ma gli angeli invecchiano They can see that the sun's setting fast possono vedere rapidamente

  • Jackson Browne Everyman Meaning
    Jackson browne everyman meaning "For Everyman" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne. It is the title track to his second album For Everyman, released. For Everyman is the second album by American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, released in (see in music). The album peaked at number 43 on. Everybody I talk to is ready to leave. With the light of the morning. They've seen the end coming down. Long enough to believe. That they've heard their last. Jackson Browne: For Everyman . The title verb takes on progressively more sexual meaning, building up to a wonderfully evocative chorus. Anybody want to comment on the meaning behind this song. I love it (and Jackson Browne) but struggle with this song's deeper meanings. Jackson Browne The title track of Jackson Browne's second album, "For Everyman," was a response to the escapist vision of Crosby, Stills and Nash's "Wooden. Jackson is sixty-six. and anyway, who cares about looks? It's about the MUSIC! He's amazing in my opinion. Recently I interviewed Jackson Browne for Spinner. com on the heels of his benefit show in Tucson, Arizona. Here is the piece in its entirety: Jackson Browne. Lyrics to 'For Everyman' by Jackson Browne: Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one Who can give them the answers highlight lyrics to add meaning. Though Jackson Browne is often associated today with the social and For Everyman, Allman's “These Days” seems to steal Browne's thunder and Allman's self-harmonizing double vocal found new meaning in the song.

    Digital Commons @ George Fox University Faculty Publications - Department of English Department of English 2018 "When the Light that's Lost within Us Reaches the Sky" Jackson Browne's Romantic Vision (Chapter Seven of Rock and Romanticism: Blake, Wordsworth, and Rock from Dylan to U2) Gary L. Tandy Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/eng_fac Part of the English Language and Literature Commons, and the Music Commons Chapter Seven "When the Light that's Lost within Us Reaches the Sky" Jackson Browne's Romantic Vision Gary L. Tandy In "Michael: A Pastoral Poem," William Wordsworth imagines "youthful Poets, who among these Hills I Will be my second Self when I am gone." 1 In his recent critical study, Andrew Bennett suggests that Wordsworth and the other British Romantic poets continue to have an impact on the poetry and poetic theory of our times: "Contemporary culture, indeed, is pervaded by developments in conceptions of poetry and art that are associated most fully with the Romantic period." 2 As Sayre and Lowy state, "Far from being a purely nineteenth-century phenomenon, Romanticism is an essential compo­ nent of modern culture." 3 One contemporary musical artist who could justifi­ ably be named a successor to Wordsworth (as well as other British Romantic poets) is the American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne. Beginning with his debut record in 1972, Browne has released twenty-three albums, consist­ ing almost entirely of original music. He was honored with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2007.

  • A Dialogical Approach to the Work of Jackson Browne A
    (l ' CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE THE CONTEMPORARY RHAPSODE: A DIALOGICAL APPROACH TO THE WORK OF JACKSON BROWNE A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Speech Communication by Jeff Parker Knight August 1987 The Thesis of Jeff Parker Knight is approved: William G. Freeman Christie A. Logan California State University, Northridge ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The members of my committee have been enthusiastic, patient, and insightful from the earliest inceptions of this thesis.· In the courses I have taken from these three individuals, and in our conversations about and not­ about scholarly matters, Bill Freeman, Christie Logan, and particularly my committee's chair, Don Salper, have taught me more and in more ways than I may know for some time, and I am very grateful. My good friend, Diggs Wimberley, has, in a conversa­ tion that has now lasted seven years, shared with me his perceptive ideas about art: its quality, its creation, and its role in our world. His insights have been valu­ able and appreciated. J.C. Nadel, as a fellow Jackson Browne enthusiast, has often, through her own excitement about this thesis, refueled my brain when it was running on empty, and she has my thanks! I would like to thank my mother, Alice Knight, for, among other things, helping me learn to appreciate both poetry and music. It is my hope that that appreciation has borne fruit herein. My brother, Guy Knight, bought Jackson Browne's album, The Pretender, in 1976, and made me listen to it. For this and countless other blessings, I thank him.

  • Late for the Sky”--Jackson Browne (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Dave Thompson (Guest Post)*
    “Late for the Sky”--Jackson Browne (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Dave Thompson (guest post)* Album cover Label Jackson Browne “I certainly don’t cultivate disappointment in order to write although that is something that occurred to me briefly maybe five or six years ago,…that perhaps things did go wrong intentionally in order to have something to write about…. At some point it occurs to you that it might be easier to write a forlorn love song than to write something positive but it has to be such a strong balance all the time. I can’t write songs that are mindlessly happy. I’m just not like that although there are a million things that I love. It’s not in me to do that.” --Jackson Browne, 1976 Forget about being “late for the sky,” Jackson Browne was almost late for his own career. By the time the Heidelberg, Germany-born Army kid released his third album, “Late for the Sky,” in September, 1974, just two years had elapsed since his debut. But eight had passed since Elektra Records first set ears on the prolific, prodigious teenager, and almost as long had passed since he got his first big break as a performer, gigging around New York with Andy Warhol/Velvet Underground legend Nico. With Browne under contract as an in-house songwriter at Elektra Records, that label’s artists naturally had first refusal on his output. Tom Rush and Steve Noonan both recorded Browne compositions, as did Nico and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (with whom he played briefly while living in California).
