The Moody Blues

I Know You’re Out There Somewhere

I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
'Cause the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
I've been searching for in everyone I meet
And the times I've been mistaken
It's impossible to say
And the grass is growing
Underneath our feet
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow

And somehow I'll return again to you
You see, I know you're out there somewhere
Oh yes, I know you're out there somewhere

You see, I know I'll find you somehow
Oh yes, I know I'll find you somehow

The words that I remember
From my childhood still are true
That there's none so blind
As those who will not see

And to those who lack the courage
And say it's dangerous to try
Well they just don't know
That love eternal will not be denied
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

Yes I know it's going to happen
(I know it's going to happen)
I can feel you getting near
(I feel you getting near)
And soon we'll be returning
To the fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering
(If you wake up wondering)
In the darkness I'll be there
(You know I'll be there)
My arms will close around you
And protect you with the truth
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

Kolejny utwór, który wpada do mojej głowy i nie chce jej opuścić. Ależ wspaniałe granie! Kolejny tekst przeszywający mózg na wskroś. Każdy z nas ma jakieś wspomnienia, historie, doświadczenia. I ten cały brytyjski The Moody Blues, który sprzedał ponad 50 000 000 płyt, trafia w samo sedno. Przywołuje historie w sposób poetycki, przyswajalny dla statystycznego Kowalskiego. Instrumentalnie klasyczne lata 80-te. Jako dzieciak chodziłem wtedy często na/do dyskoteki i wrażenie robiły na mnie tańczące starsze dziewczyny. A ta piosenka jest zarówno, do tańca, jak i różańca.

Formację The Moody Blues rozwiązano w 2018 roku. Niby szkoda, ale na każdego przyjdzie czas. Swoje z(a)robili. Przeszli z godnością do Historii Muzyki Rozrywkowej. Na zawsze w mojej pamięci i płytotece winylowej i CD.
