How To Make A Gir Costome

All I could do was cry

I happened to stumble into a new song and get hooked for days.
As often happens to me in these cases, the song - a discovery for unpredictable series of coincidences - not exactly cheerful. And even better if played by a great female voice.

I run into Cadillac Records, thanks to a colleague who had not even seen the film. A long journey by train on weekends and I see it. The film narrates the birth, and the premature explosion conclusion of the experience of Chess Records, the legendary American label and discussed from the '50s to '69. It tells nothing less than the flourishing of Muddy Waters, Little Walter, H. Wolf, Chuck Berry and Etta James. Blues and early rock'n'roll black despair ("This is not the blues .. I do not know what the hell it is but the record"), racial discrimination and music for both white and blacks, between Chicago and Mississippi.
These films really 'are rather' fake 'as a representation that give the characters, you understand.
And there are some scenes that make a lot of smile, like that of Lomax who goes around to record songs.
But in the meantime I'm quite hungry for music and its background, so 'as the origins della musica. E qui se non altro ci ho trovato un po' di informazioni ed alcune ambientazioni.

Ma probabilmente l'intento del regista è sincero, tanto che un personaggio riesce bene. Anzi non tutto il personaggio, in verità. Va certo premiata la scelta coraggiosa di Beyonce ad interpretare la splendida Etta James. Come attrice è tutto tranne che irresistibile, certo, ma quando canta..
Deve confrontarsi con un pezzo da brivido, ma lo fa con enorme professionalità, con gran capacità e con coinvolgimento sublime.
Quella scena sì, suona davvero vera.
Saro' sensibile, ma ci sono rimasto incastrato.

"Sei poco donna per questa canzone. La canzone parla d'amore, lo sai che significa? Have you ever been left by an asshole? One that not only you but also left her married to another .. You know how it feels? "
" Let me try again .. "And some interpretation harrowing, visceral.

of those songs that are basically what we seek, we need as we approach the stereo (or iPod ).
Those songs are music.
And all I could do was cry.

do All I Could Was Cry (Etta James)
I heard church bells ringing
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle On her finger he
Placed in ring

Oh, I Saw Them holding hands
She Was Standing There with my man
I heard them promise "Till death do us part"
Each word was a pain in my heart

All I could do, all I could do was cry
All I could do was cry
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry

Yeah and now the wedding's over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
But mine is at an end

All, all I could do, all I could do was cry
All I could do was cry
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry
