What are you listening to?

Love a bit of Stevie Wonder, I'll never fathom how he makes music despite being totally blind. He plays drums, bass, keyboards and sings, just incredible. He's gone a bit MOR in later years, but his string of records in the 70's are incredible.

Long ago I came here, when I listened to this music I thought to you, so I came post that:

Hi Sylvie. If you don't mind letting us know, do you by any chance have the lyrics and the translation of this song? Thank you in advance.
 
I posted this in another thread. Bears repeating. ;-D


My uncle has a country place, that no-one knows about
He says it used to be a farm, before the Motor Law
Sundays I elude the ‘Eyes’, and hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire, where my white-haired uncle waits


Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine –
For fifty-odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream
Click to expand...

I strip away the old debris, that hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta, from a better, vanished time
Fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar!
Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime…


Wind in my hair –
Shifting and drifting –
Mechanical music
Adrenalin surge –
Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me, across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires, to run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase


Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, I’ve got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded
At the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle
At the fireside…

In a cardboard box, i found a Lynyrd Skynyrd cassette, and while looking for their album on YT, thing after another, i came to those striking "revivals".

Thanks for that.

I'm going to be a total dick: 2 great singers in that quad.


She is fantastic. But she seems to want to wash her mouth out after singing it. Lol.


This dude has a voice, simply good. He doesn't speak english well, and not hitting the "diction", I guess you could say.


Still good stuff. Thank you.

Sorry Saman, I searched but I couldn't find. The title is: "When Words are Wind".

Thank you for trying. The lyrics of songs are very important for me. Just now, I had a look online as well, but no luck for me either.
