Vandaag begin met de groep MUD, een Britse rockband uit de jaren 70. In Nederland hadden ze drie grote hits, namelijk Dyna-mite, Tiger feet en Lonely this Christmas.
In die zat ik nog op de middelbare school en als ik achteruit kijk, dan kan ik alleen vaststellen "Wat is de tijd omgevlogen".
En hoe had ik het ooit kunnen vermoeden dat de zanger, Les Gray ooit zich in Portugal (Lagos) zou vestigen. Vervolgens zou hij keelkanker hebben gehad en tijdens zijn herstel periode kreeg hij thuis een hartaanval om vervolgens in een Portugese ziekenhuis in februari 2004 aan zijn einde te komen? Ook de drummer van de band, Dave Mount is gestorven in ziekenhuis ... wat een drama.
Ondertussen staat Kerst 2008 voor de deur ....
Mud - Lonely This Christmas
Try to imagine
A house that's not a home
Try to imagine
A Christmas all alone
That's where I'll be
Since you left me
My tears could melt the snow
What can I do without you?
I got no place, no place to go
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
Each time I remember
The day you went away
and how I would listen
to the things you had to say
I just break down
as I look around
and the only things I see
are loneliness and emptyness
and an unlit Christmas tree
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
(spoken verse)
Do You remember last year
When You and I were together
We never thought there'd be an end
and I rember looking at you then
and I remember thinking
That Chrismas must have been made for us
Cause Darling this is the time of year
That you really, you really need love
When it means so very, very much
(Spoken over Chorus)
So it'll be so lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be so very lonely
Lonely and cold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas
Merry Chrismas, Darling
Wherever you are
